Update on William's System!! 

System is looking and running good. Seems like the eggplant do better in the red cinder compared to the black cinder, but we'll have to see how the final product turns out! On the other hand, the green onion seem to do better in the black cinder than red cinder. Looking like leafy greens like black cinder and fruiting plants prefer red cinder. Can't tell for sure now, but will keep you posted on the results!

Eggplant in the Red Cinder... Looking Good

Got some new fingerlings for our system from our friend Ness. Thanks Ness!

NEW SYSTEM!!!

This is the new system that we are selling! Check it out. I feel this system is the best for you're money because it allows you to grow leafy greens and fruiting plants at the same time. We are selling this system for $300. Everything you see in the picture, is provided in the package even delivery and assembly (except for the black tarp).If you're interested or want to know more about it contact us on either this blog or our e-mail.

I balanced out the fish ratio in the tanks so they are relatively similar in weight. Should be interesting to see which does better. Will keep posting updates, so stay tuned for more!
