Greetings from BELGIUM
 

Hi all,
First of all, excuse me for any gramm writing mistakes... as Dutch is my motherlanguage and French the secon, German the third and English (sorry) the fourth.

No I am NOT growing Brussel Sprouts :twisted:
I just strated to build an aquaponic system, connected to my 20 koi pond.
This, with 24 dutch buckets to begin with...

Beside some herbs, I will grow blueberries, framboises and cucumber, but the main vegetables will be tomatoes, in diffrent colors and sizes.

Pictures will follow ASAP.

Welcome to the forum, Silke. It'll be very interesting to see your photos and the varieties of tomatoes, etc. that your choose to grow. I think several growers
will be very interested in the methods you use to grow them. Your English is
great!

Darlene

Hey yey yo, I was kiddin, I have Wallonian friends, they are not that bad :)

I'm an American living in the former Soviet Union, basically......(don't ask, its a long story).

And imo, noir de crime is not exactly black krim, although it seems like a russian variety that probably resulted from the same cross.

Okay, thanks for the info, recieved the plugs and the sprinklersplugs from china today... but not the hose, too bad...
So today I drilled the holes for the plugs in the main waterhose and connected those,
Also got seeds from a FB friend today,
Amethyst Jewel
Hawaiian Pineapple
Isis Brandy
German Head
Dester.
These I planted in de Cutilene RootMaxx also...

Welcome Silke!

Congratulations on your new set up. It looks great. Very neat and organized. Soon it will be a lovely green oasis, I can already picture it. Please share pictures of your koi. I have a pond, but the fish are still under the ice. I water my plants with pond water and mulch with string algae and the plants seem to thrive. I bet you will have very good results with your set up.

Here is pictures of my pond from last year. I have too much shade to grow tomatoes well around the pond but they do do well in containers on the patio.
