The aquaponics system is all coming together – the tanks and growbeds arrived yesterday. Here they are laid out in their final positions in the polytunnel, and luckily thay all fit! Now I just have to do a little bit of digging to sink the sump (the mid-size tank at the top), get the stands made that’ll support the growbeds, and do the plumbing!

Great project, of special intrest to me as I just recently bought a polytunnel.
Was going to use it as a regular greenhouse, but this looks more complicated and fun!
I supose you are taking a pause for the winter, looking forward to se progress in spring.

Thanks Laura,
I’m guessing that one of you biggest challenges would be keeping the water liquid all year round – Aquaponics may need heat if you can’t keep the tanks from freezing!
We’ve been busy – but I just haven’t posted what we’ve been up to recently. I’ll do that soon.
