Creek Street Journal - Sunday 19th August 2007



After weeks of waiting, we finally took delivery of our new Japanese Quail breeding stock. It's been about nine months since we cleared out our last breeders and, while our new Aquaponics system has dominated my time in recent months, I'm keen to resume breeding and raising these amazing little game birds.

The new Urban Aquaponics system continues to exceed our expectations. We erected a mini-greenhouse over our two gravel grow beds and we're delighted with its performance. The plants in the mini-greenhouse are healthy and are growing quickly.

Eating clean, fresh chicken meat has become a habit, so we've purchased another 24 day old broiler chicks to supplement our dwindling supplies.
