Hi Chris

What depth does your foam extend to?  What thickness
and quality foam did
you use?

Water is a good conductor of heat and moist soil, as
is ever present below a
tunnel, will conduct heat flow in all directions =
heat loss.  I understand
the point that the heat will be stopped from moving
sideways by insulating
as Bruce suggested, but why should it not move
downwards?  This is not
convection we are debating, but conduction.

Regards,
                Leslie

I'm not sure.  Some of the hybrids grow pretty fast
and devour pellet food.  I suspect a difference in
the hybrid strains too. The link Steve (I think)
posted to Ken's fishfarm in Georgia had some nice 
ones.  The thing for me is they are readily available
here in smaller quantities.  I doubt if the hybrids
will match the tilapia but should reach market weight
of 1/2 pound in a growing season.  Can the slower
growth
rate be offset by a higher price for the product?  I'd
like to find out.  The hydrid bluegill is recognizable
by name to most where tilapia isn't YET in some areas.
I read somewhere that some were marketing tilapia as
african bluegill
.lol.  This is illegal and was
stopped.
Anyhow, growth rates are something I will be watching
closely.

ever see a 5 lb hydrid bluegill?

OK Robert.  My greenhouse is in Palm Harbor just north

Your questions are too deep, the answers too long.

Good question.  Besides tomatoes, I had :   D'Avignon
radish,  watercress,
shungiku, and sorrel.  My tomatoes didn't grow well
and I had severe algae
problems in the fish tank.  Removing these plants,
planting basil, and
putting in great quantities of fish emulsion (to get
the bacteria cookin')
the system cleared up.  Without the requisite
biochemistry needed, I
suspect the watercress.  'Nasturtium'.  It grew like
crazy.  {Tom &
Paula----see what you've gotten me into?}.   Besides
the tomatoes the other
three didn't do all that great but OK.  But the cress
went ballistic.    As
an aside you are obviously a "tinkerer". Hmmm,
internet searches are
wonderful.   I was the photogrophy editor on my junior
college paper.  It
just goes with the territory.   

I think it's allelopathy not alellopathy.  Perhaps
you're correct.  I don't
have a botanical dictionary.  But allelomorphism
describes mutually
incompatible characters or qualities.

Are we having a good time or what?

Uh, allellopathy

well let's see

when I was an
undergrad

decades
ago

 back before Ned was a pup

I did some
studies on the inhibition of
seed germination in an experiment with serial
concentrations of Gallic Acid,
which is a known allelleopathic agent exuded by roots
of some plants, and
which can give the established plant a competitive
edge against the seeds of
broadcast invasive plants coming 'round the
neighborhood and taking over the
established plants' territory.

Which gives me another opportunity to rant and rave
about the ability of
plant roots to exchange at least medium sized organic
molecules.  That's a
potential 2 way exchange, folks.  If plant roots can
leak up to 20% of the
plants photosynthate products

.and some of their
metabolic
byproducts

like Malic Acid, and Gallic Acid,
etc,  then who among
us can say that some of the at least medium sized
organic compounds in the
soil or the growth media can't go the opposite
direction and eventually
provide nutrients to the plant?  Eh?

I have read that you shouldn't grow dill next to
anything.  This whole
companion planting thing seems to indicate that plant
roots can exude
certain biochemicals which inhibit or support other,
very different kinds of
plants

if that is the case, then doesn't it lend
credence to the notion
that endomycorhizzae and bacteria etc are actively
exchanging all kinds of
organics with the plant for perhaps mutual benefit?
Eh?

Since the subject has been brought up, I completely
agree that there is w=
ay too much personal ranting going on. It is great if
friends keep in tou=

private message so=
 that other people's time is not wasted sorting
through messages trying t=

topic of the list-Aqua=

Please post personal messages elsewhere for the good
of the entire group.

Thank you,

Hi Paula:

Thanks SO MUCH for sending this note.
Some of the participants were really getting
out of control with the non-Aquaponics topics.

Life has a way of interfering with the "best laid plans". My suggestion is that you post any specific questions you have, preferably one topic at a time, and let's see what the list members have to contribute. I'm always surprised at the changes that have come about through the various members' experiences .one of the reasons why I'm not necessarily in favor of a FAQ page. There have been very few exceptions where questions were not addressed, and I think it's healthy for the list to re-address some basic issues from time to time. I'm aware that there are automatic archiving programs that can be used, but have not been able to address this subject yet. When it comes down to it, given the recent "ownership" discussions I've read on other lists, I'm not certain that I'd be comfortable with just placing the archives just anywhere. Bottom line is -- if you have a question, please post it. Our membership is around 450 now, and I'm continually amazed at the background and expertise represented here. That's one of the reasons I don't discourage some of the off-topic postings --- I think we learn so much about the backgrounds of those contributing that we wouldn't necessarily see otherwise.

Bruce | Message 30 Subject: Re: Shark Attack From: "MävêrìÇK" Date: Mon, 9 Jul 2001 20:17:51 -0700 (PDT) hi all, I just saw this headline today just before reading the shark thread that has been circulating on the group for the past few days. Now, an 8 year old kid got hit in knee deepwater by a 7' bull shark and had his arm torn off. Follow the links you see on that headline page for those interested in knowing more. I just hope noone goes out and starts killing sharks, we go into their territory so we gotta play by their rules, by showing respect and staying out of their way and letting them live how they were made to without human intervention(shark diving adventures, feeding trips, chumming, etc) As time goes by fish harvests from geographic regions where sharks live actually deprive them of their food sources. This spells trouble, shark attacks are only going to increase. http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/ap/20010709/us/shark_attack.html http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20010709/ts/life_shark_dc_2.html I have seen a documentary on I think on either. discovery travel channel or national geographic or E! at some point in time and watched many others I like nature basically especially anything about aquatic life. here goes: A dare devil photographer can get great white sharks to take "upward dives" and somersaults just like they make killer whales and the "flipper dolphins" so at the seaquariums. You see some big bloated great white shark posing for the camera .teeth and all. If anyone wants to really know I can tell them what I saw. I think it's important for everyone to know that sharks don't know the difference between a person that holds food for them or one that doesn't they simply see all as one .FOOD it's the same way for crocodiles, that don't know the difference. I have even read of cases recently (www.bbc.co.uk) where people in lake malawi have an increasing fear and rate of croc attacks read all about the sharks I am not sure if anyone posted this already but nevertheless take a look. http://www.sharkfeeding.net/index1.html http://www.sharkfeeding.net/bull_sharks.htm sory about the long post.

Let's say a farmer here in Indiana is an independant kind of guy. His home and buildings are heated by the corn he grows. Now he wants to harvest the wind to run his well, lights and aquaponics equipment maybe share the excess with his neighbor. Indiana's netmetering law will let him deduct the amount produced from the amount consumed up to 1000kw hours. The rest is DONATED back to the utility so they can sell it to his neighbor. Minnesota is the only state I am aware of where it's utilities have to pay it's netmetering customers the retail rate. Things have to change. I read recently where our excess sugar crop is going to be used to produce ethanol. Every year, millions of bushels of corn rot that could produce fuel.
