I wasn’t utilizing my greenhouse well at all - totally wasting space. So, I put in an aquaponics system and have enjoyed it ever since. Here are some pictures of when it was first set up several years ago and nice and clean! I change out items in the 2 grow beds as needed. Trust me, it's not this clean anymore!

“A brief summary of much social media debate: ‘If you are not as outraged as I am about the issues that outrage me, and if you fail to express that outrage with an intensity and a frequency that satisfies me, you are less than me, and your opinions are irrelevant to me.’

This mindset, found across the spectrum, leads us to define ourselves and others by how much and how loudly we are angry. It is damaging to our souls.” -Mike Gaston

“Open discussion was the hallmark of the Enlightenment and the birth of the modern age, with a state that allows freedom of speech, press, and religion. That new era was grounded in the conviction that free discussions would allow what is true and right to triumph. The case was made by philosophy John Locke, who greatly influenced the Founders of America.

Moderns rejected the old way, that of suppressing certain ideas as dangerous, for example by burning heretics and their books. The new approach was to defeat their ideas. That approach depended on critical thinking born of education and enabled by a free press.

Sadly, we are going back to the old way where enlightened elites decide which ideas are too dangerous for people to hear. We are going back to burning heretics rather than persuading them.”

-Dr. Brian Morley

The lemons and grapefruit actually fruited this first year of planting them in the containers, so it does work!

Here are my wicking tubs for some of my newest fruit trees. I have black clay soil (gumbo when wet), and when it rains hard or for several days, water just stands and drowns out my trees. So I have added to my fruit trees by using wicking tubs. I got the idea from an older man named Leon in OK on YouTube. He uses squares of cloth but I found they were too bulky so I went to strips. My steps are shown in the pictures. Besides the ones shown here, I’ve planted peaches, figs, blueberries, tomatoes, and mint in these types of tubs. I have all sorts of gardening bed types, but this is my newest one. So I’m also self sustaining for citrus and trees that I can take with me if I move.
