Today, the update is about the progress of my little homemade aquaponic growth vegetables.
Firstly, there had been a failure to anticipate how tall the plants can grow and the strength of the winds.
Let me show you the current photos of the vegetables.
Top Bucket 29 Mar 2009
Bottom Bucket 29 Mar 09
You can see the Bottom Bucket had half of the vegetable was gone due to my own fault, the plants got too tall and fell sideways touching the water that is coming down from the hoses.
The end result is death to all my “kang kong” vegetables, I was devastated at first then realized the top bucket is suffering from the same problem of weak stems and need some sticks to support them individually.
I uses some old wooden chopsticks & small wire to tie them upright to prevent them from falling over, the result of the rescue is the photo above on the top bucket.
Those on the top bucket is majority are “ladyfingers” vegetable and a small number of them are “chili padi”.
I will continue to update on this project and hopefully able to harvest them…but I am not experienced enough to know if they are ripe for harvest…any advice will be helpful!
