Experiment

Aquaponics systems are fun things if you like to conduct experiments.
I love to try new plants in the system . Some work and some don't.
Strawberry starts grew wonderful plants but only two berries because it is just too
hot at 350 foot elevation.
Papaya seeds planted in the system went crazy !   I pulled several out when they were about a
foot high . The roots were too long to pull out of the net pot  so I planted the whole thing in the ground.
The plants didn't even wilt they just took off growing  much faster than the ones planted in the ground.
Of course I planted them in an area the chickens had fertilized so they are now continuing to
break growing records.
