Garden Aquaponics in the UK. Growing Fruit, Fish and Veges in our chilly Northern garden. Feeding our happy little carp. January 14, 2013 in Aquaponics Supplies. The carp are here and enjoying their new home. It was slightly surreal coming home to a box of live fish, but after a gentle introduction to our tanks they all swam off happily, showing no ill effects. Some of our sumps are doing well at growing duckweed so I thought that would be a good start and added a net-full of duckweed to their tank.

About the Trafford Eco-House. Turning a 30's house into a green dream. We’re putting a large Aquaponics system into the garden of the eco-house. Most people have never heard of these though – so here’s our basic guide to Aquaponics:. Aquaponics is the combination of Aquaculture (keeping fish in tanks) and Hydroponics (growing plants without soil). It aims to solve the problems of both of these methods, delivering a system requiring very little water or added fertilisers. There are lots of reasons:. Inter...

Welcome to Green Cottage! February 17, 2010 at 3:23 pm ( General. Welcome to Green Cottage, my two-up, two-down end of terrace home in Bury, Lancashire, which I have eco-renovated to reduce my environmental impact and become more self-reliant. From solar power and wood fuel heating to growing my own food, I have crammed as much as I can into this typical Victorian terrace to show what can be done to prepare for climate change and peak oil. I hope that you enjoy your stay! Solar Bud’s Tweets. The Garden &...

Insulation Upgrade – A Range of Ideas | Green Cottage

Insulation Upgrade – A Range of Ideas. January 7, 2013 at 10:26 am (Uncategorized). I was recently working out the carbon footprint of Green Cottage, and came up with a very favourable figure of less than one tonne of CO2 a year – this being associated with the grid electricity I use. I’m with Good Energy who use 100% renewable energy, but for the purposes of counting I take the figure for normal grid electricity as that’s what comes to my meter. It cost about 12 for the roll of bubble wrap. These variou...
