I have another exciting episode for you and we’re here in Hawaii, on Oahu actually,

and today we have a special episode for you guys all about aquaponics man I’m excited

基礎被動語態

for this episode actually to share with you guys. This place here is actually called Aquaponics

Place. This is a store that specializes in aquaponics, all the different parts you’ll

need for aquaponics, the plants, the fish, the different, you know, tubs, bins, totes.

Everything you need to do an aquaponics system in your home so that you can start growing

your own food today. You know, especially here in the islands it’s very important

to, you know, have a backup plan in case the ship doesn’t come in. To be able to grow

your own food and as much as I like growing food in the soil and dirt, you know, or the

red dirt here, aquaponics systems are great because now instead of just having vegetables

you can also grow your own fish. Whether you want to keep fish as pets or whether you want

to have them as a food source they can grow a lot of fish and a lot of vegetables to eat,

a very well balanced diet. So anyways, what we’re going to do today is we’re going

to go into the aquaponics place and share with you guys exactly what aquaponics is if

you don’t know about it and share with you some of the components of the system and share

with you guys some of the fish that they offer here. Share with you guys some of the pre-made

and pre-built systems you can actually buy and bring home, anywhere here on Oahu.

So we’re here inside the aquaponics place and if you guys are an aquaponics geek, this

is your hang out man. They got all these different valve things and siphon things and screens

and they got all kinds of fittings and they got basically everything you need to do aquaponics

at home. I mean even on the mainland, a store like this is just unheard of. I’ve never

seen a store dedicated to aquaponics. I think there should be a store like this in every

city across the nation so that people can actually start growing their own food and

it makes it easy for people to get all the supplies and parts, fittings, all this stuff

you know because normally you have to go around to five stores, maybe a plumbing store, a

hardware store, a swimming pool store and a pond store to get all the different things

to get a system together. I like that this is literally a one stop shop to get all your

aquaponics needs met. And I’m glad they’re here on Oahu so that everybody on this island

What we’re going to be doing next is actually share with you guys how the aquapoincs system

works specifically, so that you’ll be able to know how it works, and then more importantly

be able to set one up and grow food for you and your family.

So now we’re going to share with you guys what an aquaponics system is and it’s pretty

much right here as you guys can see we got a big tank on the bottom and this is simply

a fish tank. It’s holding fish, there’s lots of fish growing in there. The tilapia

that you can eat or just keep as pets and then what happens is the fish are living in

the fish tank and they are getting fed with the fish food which is the only input in this

system. The fish eat the fish food and then guess what, they create waste much like us

right. The fish make the pee and poop and then that basically gets in the water and

then what they do is they take the water and they pump it up into this top bed. They pump

the water up and then the water filters through this rock here, the cinder, and it basically

filters down and goes back in and comes back out and strains back into the tank there.

You can see where it’s all spraying out. What the plants do is the plants actually

filter the fish pee and poop and put it back into the water. So that’s the simplified

version we’re going to talk about in a little while the more complex version and how this

system and why this system really works. It’s actually a, there’s one big lynch pin that

many people may not be aware about in an aquaponics system that we’ll cover in just a little

bit. So next we’re going to show you guys some of the different edibles that you can

grow in an aquaponics system to feed you and your family.

Alright so in this system they got a couple cool things. First soybeans, yes you can grow

soybeans in an aquaponics system. They got some little Kales right there in addition

some mizuna, one of my favorite leafy greens, especially to grow in the winter time. Also

the lettuces, of course the lettuces will do well in an aquaponics system but they can’t

be in full sun. They like it a little bit shady. Let’s see here, in addition they

got some of my favorite, this is the shiso or also known as perilla and this is a purple

shiso. I grow this in my garden every year and evidently it will do well under an aquaponics,

in the cinder right here, check it out, this basically acts like a bio filter here and

this cinder actually unlike other metas that can be used for the aquaponics has a lot of

surface area because they’re literally like little sponges. In addition it looks like

they got a little tomato over there and a whole bunch of chives growing in this bed.

So, this aqauponics system here they got a whole bunch of strawberries that are currently

in the greenery or leafing stage. They’re seasonal so they’re not producing berries

at this time. In addition they have a nice large egg plant that’s been there a while

and also they’re growing lilikoi or passion fruits that’s growing out of the aquaponics

system over and over and over and up the chain link fence. I think it will be great one day

when they have all this lilikoi or passion fruit with hanging fruits to eat and also

show the massiveness of the plant after it’s been growing a while in the aquaponics system.

Other plants that can be grown in aquaponics are something like this, the basil, looks

like it’s doing quite well. They also have some parsley here and besides the parsley

they got the red Russian kale, one of my favorite, the kales right here. In addition they got

the green malabar spinach. I like the purple Malabar spinach but they got the green Malabar

spinach so it’s planted maybe about a month ago. It’s doing really excellent, this is

definitely one of my picks for what I would grow in the aquaponics system because the

Malabar spinach is what’s called a perennial, edible vegetable. You know some vegetables

and some plants actually go through their life cycle like the lettuce or like the kales

but with this guy, this will continue to grow and keep putting on food for you so you can

eat day after day, year after year without having to continually replant like you do

with the lettuce. Over next door here we got things like more basil, and look at this,

this basil’s been growing here a while and this basil straight up has like woody stems

on it. It’s quite old, doing quite well, although it looks like it does have some still

(06:44?) on there that they may want to do something with but doing quite well and it’s

nice and tall there. In addition they’ve got the Calo or the Taro here which is also

grown in the aquaponics system in addition they got a few beets over there and some rosemary.

I know one of my favorite things to grow in Hawaii for sure is this guy right here, this

is the okra, look at those little babies man, fresh okra, fresh okra is absolutely delicious

and I love eating them, especially when they’re young babies.

So over to this bed a few more things they are growing, things like celery right here.

Definitely looking really nice and vibrant here. Also they got this plant, look at this

guy, this guy’s a nice woody stock, really thick, it’s going to seed and these seeds

are actually high in Omega 3 fatty acids as are the leafy greens that you can eat. This

is also the shiso or the perilla. This the green variety, definitely would encourage

you guys to grow the shiso green and the purple as well as basil as like an herb bed but also

don’t forget to grow your leafy greens. So here’s some collard greens here, I would

probably choose the Georgia southern collards here in Hawaii if I was growing them and let’s

see here, here’s a nice large parsley plant, looks super delicious, looks like it’s growing

So you guys just saw some of the different leafy greens and edibles that you can grow

in an aquaponics system and I always want to encourage you guys to try and grow different

things and experiment because that’s what this is all about. See what you can get away

with, of course some plants are going to do better than others and of course that depends
