Semi-self-sustaining Production System

Parts of a productive Aquaponic System with permacultural and bio intensive farming methods - sorry for the messy layout, work in progress

Parts:
!. Source of Fresh, Clean Water / Purification Facility
1. Fish Pond / Tank
2. Prawn Pool / Tank http://www.fao.org/docrep/005/y4100e/y4100e08.htm
3. Sump Tank (if need) - http://theaquaponicsource.com/blog-2/why-aquaponic-sump-tanks/
4. Growtubes for short cycle plants
5. Ebb'n'Flow Growbeds for bigger plants
6. Biointensive plantations
7. Long cycle tree plantations http://www.fao.org/news/audio-video/detail-video/en/?uid=9905
Vermicomposter
Bee Hives
Poultry

Fish:
Tilapia rendalli (24-32C)
Diet: Variety of plant matter,algae,worms,detritus,commercial pellets,Lemna(duckweed) and water lettuce .

Resistant to dirty water & low oxygen.

Trout (cold),
Barramundi (warm),
Jade Perch (warm), omnivorous, highest content of omega-3 oils in any fish

N2-fixers as fish feed: http://www.fao.org/docrep/ARTICLE/AGRIPPA/551_EN.HTM

Prawns?
Shellfish?
Fish Eggs?



Fish Feed: Moringa 10%, N2-fixer trees seeds 20%%, duckweed, insects (mosquito/fly traps, grown insects etc.), fish leftovers, maize/bean powder, algae, commercial feed



VEGETABLES:
Maize, Amarath ( Amaranthus) & Quinoa ( Chenopodium quinoa) - (Conservation)
Kale (Brassica oleracea), Spinach, Tomato, Cucumber (Aquaponic)
Wholegrain Spelt (Triticum spelta ) [Conservation & Biointensive] bread with chia (Salvia hispanica), hemp (Cannabis sativa), alfaalfa ( Medicago sativa) (Aquaponic), sesame, pumpkin, sunflower (Biointensive) seeds
Beans (Phaseolus ...) - dark ones especially (Biointensive, Conservation)
Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) - (Biointensive, Conservation)
Moringa Oleifera (Biointensive)
Fruits or Berries (Permacultural Plant Guilds)
Ginger (Zingiber officinale) (Aquaponic)
Curcuma longa (Turmeric) (Aquaponic)



TREES:

Jatropha curcas

Moringa oleifera

Sesbania sesban

Mucuna pruriens

Punica granatum

Orange, Banana & Apple varieties (which?)


OTHER OPTIONS:


Eggs & Chicken meat (Poultry)

Mushroom house (minimum 24x16 feet)

MUSHROOMS:

Oyster & Milky Mushrooms in vertical bags

- 7,5g carbendazium, 50ml formaledehyde, 100l water -> 15 hours sterilization of dry hay

- Dried well in sterile conditions, wrapped in rolls and put to transparent plastic bags

- 125g spawn / bag equally spread on the outer parts between each layer

Room should get fresh air for few minutes every alternate day. After germination sterile blade used to make cuts to allow mushroom to grow. Clean water sprayed two times during the process.

Mushrooms twisted off during the harvest, allows new growth if not cutted.

sterile, dark room for germination, light for growth.

- needs a hydrometer and cooler

- Potassium-permanganate used to sterilize hands and feet before entering
