Another use for Alpaca wool! As you might know we

Another use for Alpaca wool! As you might know we are entering into the wonderful world of #aquaponics and building a relationship between fish and plants so that they can both sustainably feed each other in a you scratch my back I'll scratch yours.
.
Fish make the water dirty and when pumped through plants their roots take all that lovely nutrition and clean the water ready to be sent back to the fish... and so on... forever!!! 🐟🌱🐟🌱
.
No soil!! In our Aquaponics project we are using alternative growing mediums this I very important and what makes it Aquaponics and not Hydroponics. We have chosen to use #leca a clay ball that allows for water flow and holds on to nutrients flowing in the water.
.
We also are using deep water beds where floating rafts hole caged pots that allow the roots to hang low in the water and collect all the goodness they need.
.
From left to right is a little experiment. We are successful germinating seeds in Alpaca wool, sheeps wool and #Rockwall (becoming a popular alternative to soil!)
.
It's amazing what you can do!
