Hi all,
First of all, excuse me for any gramm writing mistakes... as Dutch is my motherlanguage and French the secon, German the third and English (sorry) the fourth. No I am NOT growing Brussel Sprouts ![]() I just strated to build an aquaponic system, connected to my 20 koi pond. This, with 24 dutch buckets to begin with... Beside some herbs, I will grow blueberries, framboises and cucumber, but the main vegetables will be tomatoes, in diffrent colors and sizes. Pictures will follow ASAP. Silke |

Welcome to the forum, Silke. It'll be very interesting to see your photos and the varieties of tomatoes, etc. that your choose to grow. I think several growers
will be very interested in the methods you use to grow them. Your English is great! Darlene |

Hey yey yo, I was kiddin, I have Wallonian friends, they are not that bad ![]() I'm an American living in the former Soviet Union, basically......(don't ask, its a long story). And imo, noir de crime is not exactly black krim, although it seems like a russian variety that probably resulted from the same cross. Last edited by snugglekitten; March 12, 2015 at 06:08 AM. |

Welcome Silke!
Congratulations on your new set up. It looks great. Very neat and organized. Soon it will be a lovely green oasis, I can already picture it. Please share pictures of your koi. I have a pond, but the fish are still under the ice. I water my plants with pond water and mulch with string algae and the plants seem to thrive. I bet you will have very good results with your set up. Stacy Here is pictures of my pond from last year. I have too much shade to grow tomatoes well around the pond but they do do well in containers on the patio. ![]() ![]() |
