Lone Star Hunting Forum

LOL, enough crown I can sleep anywhere.

Wife sent me these pics yesterday. 5 days after planting and we got sprouts coming up.

Dang that was fast. This is gonna be a cool thread.

That is great looking forward to the progress

Thanks guys, I am not expecting huge growth with these grow beds, because I have very low density of fish. I have way to much fish tank for only 2 grow beds. But when my system is finished I am expecting amazing growth

Thats pretty cool! I hope to see it soon.

Not a whole lot to see right now, but after I get the whole system up and running it will be something to see. right now it is just a tank buried in a big pit.

Here is a video I made yesterday. My slow internet really sucks, it took about 7 hours to up load it, and it is only 2 1/2 minutes long.

Looking good helo.

Got ya a you tube link.

Thanks Papa. I clicked the youtube button at the top, and put the part inside the space. But nothing came up for me.

It was 1 letter short of a link.

Will the cold weather get to the new plants or is it not cold in south Texas???

Dang so close.

It is getting down to 25 tonight, but these planst are supposed to be planted right now. So hoping they can deal with the temps. The water should stay fairly warm, so that willl help.

That looks good

Thanks Gordon

Thanks for posting the video, I think its pretty cool!

Thanks John

Well got some updates.

Peas are doing great.



Beets 5 days after planting seeds.



Found two large algae eaters to put in. Tried putting some small goldfish that eat algae, but the bass ate them.



Building a cover over the top to keep the leaves and crap out, and also to limit the sun so the algae doesn't get to bad.

Got my first 12 volt DC pump in Friday. Got a battery, and going to wire it up tomorrow. Need to find a good battery charger/maintainer that can keep the battery charged till I get my solar system set up.





Had it like this, but many people told me not to use all those metal fittings. So I changed them to PVC. But in the pic is also my strainer so I don't suck up any fish.

Thats looking good helo.

Thats cool! I would really like to see it!

Thanks guys.

Well can't seem to post a video from youtube.

Here ya go

Just a small waterproof regular digital camera.

Those fish will be coming out and about 300 catfish will be going in once I am done with the system.

Cool so the big pond will now have Bass.??
