This week was quite successful for our aquaponics system. Both classes caught plenty of fish at Arbutus Lake to provide enough nutrients (I think) for our plants. Both classes caught around 30 fish. There was a nice mix this year between bluegill, sunfish, and perch. We accidentally brought back one large mouth bass but those haven't done well in previous years so he might not last. One nice addition to Cooper's tank is a pair of crayfish, both caught with a worm on a hook!
We planted herb plants, kale, cucumbers, tomatillos and a pineapple plant! We also planted seeds for various lettuce plants, carrots, and hot peppers. The kids are really excited about the peppers. Stay tuned for updates as the growing begins!
