World Water Day

I’m working hard to add new products and more info/pictures are coming for the ones I have added but there is only so much time in the day and there really is only one of me so please forgive that I am adding things piece meal as fast as I can instead of rolling out everything perfectly complete.
Anyway here is a link to some of the new products already available.
Fish safe supplements and pesticides

So I’m testing out a new grow media. Let me call it Aquagrowlite for now.
Anyway, it is a light weight media That I have been testing out for only a short time now, However, washing a truck load of it is faster than washing a truck load of river rock of the same size and hauling it is definitely easier on the body.
Having never personally used Hydroton I can’t really compare but so far we think we like the Aquagrowlite and will be getting more here in the near future.
If anyone else in central Florida things they want a load, let me know so the next time I hitch up the dump trailer I can see about delivering it to you as well. Just beware that scheduling for delivery will be the trickiest part since I can’t always get access to the trailer when I’m available to do the delivery so leave extra time for scheduling.

The Aquagrowlite costs more per ton than the 1/2″ brown river rock but it is also lighter weight and around Central Florida it will cost less than products that have to be shipped in by the pallet load (like clay balls.) The price varies as will delivery costs so contact me for a quote since the price will depend on your location as well as the current costs for the media. The Aquagrowlite requires rinsing as do all media in my opinion. Our standard washing procedures are to use some plastic mesh plant baskets and some bins with water (set them up at the correct height so swishing takes place without bending, this will save your back) and swish in a bin then in the next bin then place media in the grow bed.

Actually I have some of them available already, just haven’t had time to get them up here on the net.

This weekend is an extravaganza weekend at the market so hopefully we get lots of business. We added a fish tank and there are now 6 goldfish and 1 koi in residence in the Market system. Currently running with 20 towers and a flood and drain tray along with the IBC fish tank. Using a Danner MD18 pump for the towers and fish tank circulation/aeration and a little 20 watt pump on a timer to flood the seedling table.

Hopefully this weekend turns out to be worth all the trouble.

Yesterday we took an IBC tank over to the market in prep for getting some fish in over there. No fish yet but the tank is there and part filled with water. I’ll be constructing another tower display for over at the market in hopes of big things for this coming weekend. It is an extravaganza weekend over at Renningers in Mount Dora, FL this coming weekend.
I’m up on the Flea Market side in Open air Building G/H space H18 (it’s the last building before the Field I’m on the side facing the rest of the buildings)
