No problem with mud in the garden this morning, it went down to -1.7°C last night in the garden, and even the inside of the polytunnel was down to -1°C.
The ground in the garden is pretty solid now, but has remained a little soft in the polytunnel. The cold snap has seen the water temperature drop from 9°C down to 7°C.
Here’s how the ‘allotment’ is going:
The onions, garlic and purple-sprouting broccoli should be all frost hardy, so let’s see how they go!
The frost patterns on the inside of the polytunnel are pretty amazing, not sure I’ve ever seen anything like this:

As we’re getting close to having all the parts of our system in place I thought it’d be fun to have a look back at how our plans have turned into reality. It’s quite an interesting story in images:
We started off with the first plans for our large Aquaponics system
These went through lots of refinements to maximize the use of space and got to the current “final design” for our Aquaponic system
Then we got into the Eco-House and could finally start measuring up for the polytunnel
And then after one great weekend the frame of our Aquaponic polytunnel was up:
And then, after a weekend away and a bit of dithering, the Aquaponic fish tanks and Growbeds arrived at it started to look a lot like the Large Aquaponic System Plans.
Getting pretty close now! Just got to get the stands and plumbing done!
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!
