What are those holes? Are those from pests?
No, it's expanded clay marks. Turns out that if you naively pack the expanded clay balls in a planting cup for #aquaponics #hydroponics or #aeroponics, the plant can suffocate and die. This is how it looks like when it happens. That's why my book recommended adding some coco fibers or other soft filler material to the cups. I ignored it.

In my first year of #aquaponics, I'm wasting too much of the vegetables. My note to self and the advice to others starting their journey:
Switch the mindset to #abundance. Eat what's growing without waiting too much. Don't worry, there will be even more.

I'm making kale chips again :)

Okay I didn't expect THIS MUCH 🥬 in #aquaponics.

Now, as #drought hits hard, the point of #aquaponics becomes very apparent. Every single traditionally ground-planted #plant requires more #water daily than the entire #aquaponics garden plus the #fish, and the ground plants still suffer from the drought. Meanwhile the #VerticalGarden just consumes the sunbeams to grow more and more, the #beans are #blooming, the cabbages start to round up and the lettuces are vibrantly green and pithy.
