Cecil -- that is actually kind of humorous in a strange way.
The IBC tank setup, that I gave to my son this past spring, was wildly successful this summer -- particularly for cucumbers and tomatoes. In mid-August he called to ask if I could identify what he thought was some kind of algae or fungus spreading on top of his growing medium. When I stopped by and looked at it with my own eyes, I realized it was mostly tomato plant roots. His siphon was set about a half-inch too high, and these were roots growing on top of the wet media.
Anyway, we are about to put a bunch of fall plantings in his aquaponics setup and Into my conventional garden which is watered from my lowest pond using sprinklers that are fed from a 2-inch trash pump.
I've got loTs of plants to go in this week.
Please forgive my spelling,etc. I'm traveling and only have a cell phone that has a mind of its own concerning spelling and grammar.
