Aquaponic System needs Iron

Plants are growing again as we recover from the snail invasion.

Lots of green beans have been planted  in batches 2 weeks apart. They are jumping .

Summer squash is growing but has a lot of yellow on the leaves.
Taro is also growing but looking pale.

Butter lettuce is growing fast now and looks good.

Thai Basil is producing lots of tasty leaves.

Kale is just starting to grow.

Swiss Chard is speeding up too.

The yellow showing up in the squash and 
taro is a message. The plants are telling us that there is an iron deficiency in the system. So we will dilute some chelated iron 
and slowly add it to the system. The yellow leaves should disappear within a week and things will grow even faster.
