Hi Nate,
Kudos on your most recent webinar about CSA! Some root plants don't do well in a strictly aquaponics system. Can wicking beds run within an aquaponics closed-loop system? Thanks -
Excellent presentation
-
Dr. Storey, what's the SSA of your recycled plastic bottles?
-
They are pretty incredible!
-
holy cow, that chive tower looks like a tree with the "trunk" in the background, i was trying to figure out what kind of TREE you were growing until you moved the tower.
-
We've specially designed it to have a high void ratio to avoid clogs, yet filter out solids from our fish.
-
How does your tower media keep from clogging? I like the idea of buying just the media and crafting my own tower.

Thankyou for your video. I just removed some baby carrots from my aquaponic system that I was growing for the pets. I now have room and I think I will try some chives. Also Thankyou for the tip on planting them close together.

Absolutely, JT! Check out the "Store" on our website!
-
I love that tower system! Those chives look fantastic. Are you selling these towers on your website?
-
You bet. You'll either have to purchase strips or 6 foot tall rolls.
-
Have you considered selling just the medium to diy'ers?
-
Regarding the draining system: In our new greenhouse, we keep our fish and towers separate as to make it easier to tend and harvest our crops on the ground. Our towers drain into a guttering system on the floor and flow into our sump tank to be recirculated back to our fish tanks. Thanks for your questions! Check out our other videos for more on our sump tanks!

Hey Timothy! The grow medium we use is actually our patented matrix media we've developed from recycled plastic bottles. You can find out more about it at our website (see description). We'll be going into more details on the media in a subsequent video. For now, I'll tell you the media has some massive biological surface area and high percolation (which maximizes performance in aquaponic systems) AND red worms can be integrated in for even greater yields! Did I mention they're reusable!
