GOLDFISH in the GARDEN: Growing Salvinia In A Rain Barrel (Goldfish Aquaponics And Gardening)

- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- Today we are talking about Goldfish in the garden and growing salvinia. Salvinia is a versatile little floating plant, and if you interested in raising goldfish or other fish, it is a good plant for removing nutrients from the water. But that's not all, salvinia can become a part of an integrated garden on a homestead and in this video we are going to talk about how you can put salvinia to work!

Another noble experiment.
ah the experiments continue! certainly finding a few fish and plants that lend themselves really well to this kind of a system and benefit for the garden to!
Oh wow..this is so neat! Everything seems to be thriving in that ecosystem. Now I'm gonna have to try something like this in my ibc totes!
Its a neat experiment for sure. And it really does come in handy with the garden and such. And best of all no mosquitoes!
Now I want to build a fish pond. Thanks a lot, lol. Fish fertilizer, chicken feed, composter feed, win, win, win.
It is a neat way to close some loops in the system. So far all the experimenting has paid off though. I know goldfish don't always come to mind for people when they are looking at aquaponics of any kind but honestly like you said it really is a win win scenario!
what do you do in winter?
I will be bringing some of the black moors into the house for the winter. That is a drawback to the IBC totes that they get to cold (basically freeze solid) in the winter without a heater for the goldfish. But the plus side to the goldfish is you don't necessarily need a lot of them to produce a lot of fry. That being said the goldfish we keep in the pond in the pit survived the winter no problem last year so we have a bit of a reservoir as well there.
I like your idea and your creativity. I was thinking about doing the same thing. Have you consider using fish that you can eat, such as bass or even the lowly tillapia?
Super cool! I have a garden and 3 of those tanks to collect rain water, but they have been turning into pond water the last 2 years and decreasing the garden output, so I'm considering a system like this. Did you say you have other animals that will eat the fish? What's the larger water plants in the bottom? Are there rocks in the bottom? Thanks!
I've found gold fish helpful in my pond. But egrets would come and gobble them up. Maybe I should try some blackies.
Yah herons of any kind are good at catching them. We have Green Herons and American Bitterns that come to our larger pond but they are really only able to catch a few of the fish (and they reproduce faster than they can catch them).
Can you make more videos on your use of fish in the homegarden? This is actually really intiguing and something we could all do.
Plus, I need another reason to argue with my partner for a koi pond in the backyard LOL
We can certainly do that. To be honest we are taking most of the experiments pretty slowly but the results are pretty good so far. Raising fish is something we are seriously thinking of expanding on a little on the homestead. I really like how you put it that its something everyone could do and I think that is a great way to look at it!
Try fermenting Salvinia with molasses to apply as a foliar spray on your garden.
That could be something to try!
We had feeder goldfish for a few years until a crane discovered them. 😢
Yes, we have a family of green herons that take the goldfish out of the big pond, but they are reproducing fast enough that they don't seem affected really.
