Hi,

Want a planting guide tailored to your location? Try this......here.

I receive the planting guide monthly by email.

Regrettably, it's only available for Oz, NZ and UK.

has anyone found that some fruit/veges that cannot be grown traditionally but do OK in A/P? Here in Darwin eg we could not grow lettuce/peas/strawbnerrys traditionally - but I see Murray growing strawberrys in Bris. Do you think that straeberrys might be a chance in A/P in Darwin??
Cheers

Great find. Love it, so easy and informative. Not to duplicate the wheel, but would be great to have the planting instructions relevant to growbeds.

Strawberries do ok in AP, until you have something go wrong with the fish and you have to salt the water. If you have a seperate system for quarantine, and you can easily remove the fish from the large system then this would not be a problem. It is nearly impossible for me to remove a certain individual fish from my system, the tank is too large. I maintain 1ppt of salt to keep everything good.

I gave strawberries up as too much trouble.

hi duggeeeea - I have found rhubarb ( green stemmed variety)
does better in AP - previously in the garden soil it has died out over summer here,
but so far I have a very healthy looking plant in one of my grow beds -
so healthy in fact that I have dug out 3 other plants that were almost deceased
and put them into other grow beds in the hope of saving them.

We love stewed rhubarb!!

Ahhh! Rhubarb!!! About $ 25 a kilo here in Brunei when you can get it and pretty sick looking rhubarb at that. I have never bought it.

Probably too hot to grow it here in the tropics though.

Hi David McPherson,

sorry to butt in on the rhubarb, but I cannot help being amazed at how my rhubarb is going in AP over summer.

Attachment 2385
These were two almost dead rhubarb plants in soil before being transplanted in Feburary.

They are in semi shade in my hothouse. I'm running a cycle of 14minutes on and 1hr 46min off.

God bless froggo
