800 GPH submersible/inline pump for my aquaponics system I'm building out of IBCs this year. Has a venturi air vent adaptor which is pretty awesome, but I'll probably build a better one on the pipe that feeds the fish tank.

I got some red wiggler worms from Uncle Jim's Worms. They had been lost in the mail and arrived a week later. To my surprise, they were still alive.

Made a homemade bin for them. They are surviving!

Looking good.
I am surprised that you decided to put it in a pot instead of planting it in the ground. Happy growing!

BTW: I see the concrete blocks in the background of your photo. I have a project going on this year: have put potting soil in there and seeds of different herbs. Those blocks work great! Will have to post pictures when I get to it.

Would that by any chance be MiracleGRO potting soil? I'm looking for a decent generic container filler and am willing to try them (don't mind providing external feeding) but was told by someone to try Florida Professional Grower's Mix first?

Glad to hear that; I'll try and pick up a bag later then. My pineapple has been yellow for some time and I suspect it's due to the soil not draining properly so hopefully that will fix it.

if you want good drainage i would suggest adding perlite to the miracle grow... it's pretty dense.

08-03-2014, 09:52 PM
i make my own potting mix, 1 part peat, 1 part top soil, 1 part pearl lite and 2 parts compost
some times i add sawdust
sometimes i nix the top soil and add pine park
depends on the plants im using it on

08-07-2014, 07:47 PM
I'd love to add perlite but a small bag is very expensive over here and I haven't found anywhere that sells it in large quantities/wholesale. Sounds like a good mix Ste; I just bought an almost 60-pound bag of Florida Potting Soils Professional Growers Mix a day or two ago (9 bucks and some change so not too bad) and it has lots of perlite and peat and bark etc so it looks good.

What do you two gents feed with? My eye was lingering one some Slow-Release 14-14-14 Osmocote today lol
