Fall brings the garden indoors. It also marks the start of my Winter project preparation. Today we spent some time transplanting,cutting, and tending both the hydroponic and soil gardens.
Basil
Oregano
Parsley
Meyer Lemon
Emily's Garden Hydroponic system at day zero. This will be for my indoor herb garden. We will see if that southern facing window will offer enough exposure for the plants.
"Big Mama: The Marmorkreb"
Though the Emily's garden is sold as a hydroponic system, I consider it a possibility for a prototype tank for the Marmorkrebs. Currently, I have a ten gallon aquarium that we will be housing the full size crayfish and its two spawn. I have yet to determine the ratio between enclosure size and colonization.
It is hoped that the marmorkrebs will be an excellent alternative for aquaponics. Typically, people are using tilapia or other fish to provide the fertile waste for their crops. Marmorkrebs may offer another alternative. If farmed in conjunction with fish you could use the marmorkrebs as a feeder.
Now it is time to review crops and plan the planting cycles.
