New Learning Opportunity: Natural pH Control in Aquaponics
One of the biggest challenges in aquaponics is keeping pH balanced. Too low, and your fish suffer. Too high, and your plants canโ€™t absorb nutrients. And in the middle of it all, nitrifying bacteria need their sweet spot to thrive. Thatโ€™s why weโ€™re launching the Natural pH Control in Aquaponics Course here on Skool! ๐ŸŽ‰ In this course, youโ€™ll learn how to: โœ… Understand how pH affects fish, plants, and bacteria โœ… Use natural buffers like limestone, dolomite, or shells instead of harsh chemicals โœ… Build simple routines to keep your system stable โœ… Troubleshoot common pH problems the eco-friendly way This is designed for both teachers and students, as well as home growers who want a sustainable, chemical-free approach. ๐Ÿ“š Ready to bring balance to your system? Click here to enroll just go to the Classroom ๐Ÿ’ฌ ๐๐ฎ๐ž๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐…๐จ๐ซ ๐“๐ก๐ž ๐†๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฉ. What's been your biggest struggle with pH in your system? Drop it in the comments โ€” letโ€™s share experiences!

Alternative Fish Feeds in Aquaponics
Feed is at the heart of every aquaponics system. It drives fish health, powers bacterial conversion, and ultimately determines the nutrients available to plants. Commercial feeds often get the job done, but they rely heavily on fishmeal made from wild-caught speciesโ€”an option thatโ€™s costly, unsustainable, and limited. In this course, weโ€™ll explore smarter, more sustainable options for feeding your fish. Youโ€™ll learn about: - Why feed is such a critical factor in aquaponics - The downsides of relying solely on commercial pellets - Practical alternatives that can reduce costs and environmental impact - How feed choices ripple through your system to affect both fish and plants By the end, youโ€™ll be equipped with knowledge and strategies to make feed a strengthโ€”not a weaknessโ€”in your aquaponics setup. ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŸ ๐Ÿ‘‰ Start the course now in the Classroom tab!

@Stan Marsh Yes, black soldier flies (Hermetia illucens) are very common in the U.S., especially in warmer regions
Using Worms in Aquaponics
Most aquaponics systems donโ€™t fail because of the fish or the plants. They fail because of sludge. Over time, solid waste builds up in your grow beds. It clogs roots, disrupts the biofilter, and slows down your water flow. Left alone, it throws the whole system out of balance. One of the simplest ways to fix this is by adding red wiggler worms. They break down the solid waste your system canโ€™t handle on its own โ€” uneaten food, fish poop, and general muck. In return, they produce ๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ๐ฆ๐ข๐œ๐จ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ: a nutrient-rich material that feeds your plants and keeps your beds clean. Adding worms means: - Healthier roots - Faster nutrient cycling - Less maintenance over time Itโ€™s an inexpensive, low-effort way to keep your aquaponics system running smoothly from the ground up. If you havenโ€™t added worms yet, it might be time.

They say worm tea doesnโ€™t directly kill insects. Instead, it strengthen plants immune responses and that makes them less attractive or more resistant to pests. But hey, if you're seeing results, who am I to argue? Ha
Worm Tea
One of the secrets to our success. One of the best organic soil supplements, pesticide and foliar spray we use here on the farm Yes it keeps the aphids away too and super charge the plants
