Getting ready to set up a few vertical towers to grow leafy greens and herbs now that we are in somewhat of a cooler season (well, it is sunny Central Florida 🌞). Amazing how much and how high an air pump can lift water.
Check back in a few days to see the vertical towers set up ❤️

Changing the water delivery (sump tank filled from Koi pond), on the vertical towers so that I can rotate them as and when needed to ensure optimal overall growth. Going vertical provides you with so much more growing options 👌

So Mrs. said you can grow whatever you want but I want a lot of Basil (I am out of Pesto), Marigolds, and Swiss Chard. Well then, I got the seedling ready along with a few specialty Tomatoes, Cucumbers, and Sweet Pepper seedlings. Now let's see how they grow this Autumn (Fall) season that has started out with drenching rain 🧐

I held the inaugural Aquaponics training workshop on December 10th, 2011 in Winter Park, FL where I had set up a boutique research food garden incorporating recirculating water methods largely based on Aquaponics.

Just over two months since I set up these vertical planters. We have already harvested a lot of leafy greens which have been included in salads, sautéed and also used in green soups.
