hmmm do you think all of todays modern farming tech  started on a large scale ? Its much easier to scale down than scale technology up. Doesn't matter anyway cant buy anything here worth a s**t without paying thru the nose, thats even if they will let you bring it in. But oh well its wheels up for me next week for good back to the real world.

Thailand will never even be close to this.

No mostly if they even stop they just stand there and stare at the victim.

OHHH it as an "A" on it, thats quality then.

You can get quality locksets

If you say so.

The lockset is what you want to spend your money on. Locksets are so cheap made here a child could pick it or slip it.

If they could bale it this is a nice way to grow your vegetables and after your done you can disc it into the soil.

You can't burn fields this time of year as the local government officials would be all over the farmer

???? here in the NE every damn sugar field in sight has been burnt along with the rice fields. Those police can be  a little blind sitting in their offices or at the everyday road stops where they get to keep 50% of the fine money collected. Get real.

Sad to see all the amazing stuff happening everywhere and thailand having year round growing conditions and nothing happening.

Why be different burn it. With the low price of sugar not sure you could absorb the cost of machinery doing it unless you were contract farming it.

Many ways to run an aquaponics system.

 I think alot of the problem here is the system hasn't been run long enough to get a good balance, including bacteria buildup to help break down the nitrate-nitrite-ammonia components for survival of both plants and fish. I have seen people spend two months getting their water conditions and bacteria counts up before even adding any fish or plants. Again im not against aquaponics but its not as simple as it seems especially getting a long term successful production cycle going.

And Thailand hasnt ? what a joke. Ill remember that that next I want to buy something imported here

lot of work.

Hardly, unscrew the tap screens and shower head. put in container with vinegar and an hour later replace.

By the way anyone can pay a printer to make labels for them all they want doesnt mean they are official.

I wont trust anything after reading an article about the gov. going around testing water suppliers >80% failed their tests. An RO system you maintain is the only safe water for me here.

I would also think again about replacing the river rock with coco coir, its ph neutral and cheap. You could build support systems for your heavier plants to grow.

A little reading for you.

I know it sounds crazy but I have read about people feeding their fish with dry dog food as it has a high protein content and is a balanced mix of other nutrients.

I dont get it, I have landed in almost complete whiteout on air flights before many times. Seems to me they either need some airport ils system upgrades or better trained pilots.

Doesnt matter what they do or who they hire the end result is the same. Proof being why pay a qualified native speaker 30-35K when you can get a Filipino teacher for 15-20K. How many education ministers and plans have they gone thru in the last 20 years ? Its just a money game sadly not education and not going to change any time soon either.

Not a big deal. its not going to affect the air quality any.

I must admit to not being in the past a big organic fan but with the recent technological advances in biological controls and other science/tech being applied to growing I will be using them more. I read most of the new research on horticulture and with the explosive growth of hydro and greenhouse production around the world I see quite a sea of change when it comes to horticulture which is nice. I will be leaving thailand soon after 10 years here back home (not to insult thailand but ive had enough) to some acreage I own there to start a small scale market garden incorporating greenhouse/hydro and soil crops for local markets sales and look forward to being able to buy and use all of this great new tech.

Again i dont have much exp. with aquaponics except working with some others doing it but I do know it helps to keep different plant species in different systems/tanks due to different nutrient uptake needs and different growth rates, but maybe this doesnt apply to aquaponics.
