Tubers in an Aquaponic system

Did you ever wonder how to grow root crops in an aquaponic system?
It can be done and the results taste great. The trick is to use really big net pots
filled with lots of coconut medium .

For carrots, parsnips, beets , you can plant a circle
of seeds in each pot. Taro , a tropical tuber, works also.

Of course this means you need to make big holes in your  floats and insert the big filled net pot.
If you can't find big net pots  , take a regular black plastic pot and slice pieces out along the sides
and bottom of the pot.

Happy weed free gardening !
