Creek Street Journal - Sunday 26th August

Yesterday, I installed a nutrient film technique (NFT) salad deck over the fish tank.

The salad deck will accommodate 48 plants at any given time and is watered from the same supply as the satellite pots.

We planted this growing arrangement out to lettuce, coriander, silver beet, spinach, marigolds and bok choi.

The plant growth in the new gravel grow beds is excellent......... we've harvested bok choi just three weeks after we planted the seedlings. The silver beet and coriander will be next.

The new meat bird chicks are growing quickly and the Japanese quail have just begun to make their distinctive call.

The release of our first book.....The Urban Aquaponics Manual.....this week, was an important milestone in the development of Creek Street Micro Farm.
