I’ve taken some hydro planting ideas from Living with the Land, highly recommend

Hydro planting doesn’t only provide fertilization to the plants it also sucks the toxins and nitrates out of the pond, this year I finally built a proper hydro planting system now popular from outer sources, I discovered this at Epcot and bought it home. If you like basil well it grows like a weed and have plenty for what I need at least once a week from one plant. There also up high on a pergola so no animals can get to them, haven’t seen any squirrels on there and I don’t want to jinx it, I think there afraid of the water.

Is it high maintenance? Looks great!

That’s awesome! My son loves basil and I love parsley, we could eat it by the bushel. I love the height keeping critters at bay and helping clean nitrates from the water.

At first I read that as taking some ‘hydro planing ideas’

Thanks and no not at all, haven’t touched it since I put the sprouts in. I have a water polishing filter in the back which is the only thing I check, it kept debris from getting caught in the roots and causing buildup and spillover

That's fantastic. You must check PH and nutrient concentration? Or is the balance between fish/plant carefully designed so you don't have to?

I just built a pergola, planted grape vines at the base....

My levels have been so good I don’t trust my testing kit and I’ve tried a few of them, it’s to good to be true
