Hi Minda,
Sorry I don't have any blueberries, you might look up spooner Farms on
line to see if they have any.

Thanks Allen,
The researchers her in Florida have had the best results with Heritage.

I believe that Keo Fish Farm in Arkansas sells them as juveniles (if
they've stopped producing--they should be able to point you to a
supplier)

Adriana,
I grew Heritage before and it did OK, but Autumn Bliss is doing better
for me. Maybe I am just learning better culture as old age creeps up on
me.

I have two tickets to attend as delegate, the Sydney Aquaculture Conf.
Cannot afford to use them-anyone?

Allen,
The Florida trials included Heritage, Autumn Bliss and a few other
varieties. Heritage produced the equivalent of 1905 pounds of
fruit/acre and Autumn Bliss produced 957. They attribute the
differences to better heat resistance on the part of Heritage since
Autumn Bliss is of British origins. What part of the world/country are
you in?

Where are you? Several farmers around here (N.MS) raise them.
Do you want sterile (triploid) or not?
I'm in Denver. I've read that they do not reproduce well in ponds, but need
fast flowing water - I'm not sure if there will be a problem with them
reproducing in my tank, but I'd like to try it - so non-sterile if possible.

Hi Victoria,
I am getting started in aquaponics and have been on the listserve for
a month or two. The discussions have helped alot. I would like to
have a tilapia tank(s) and grow some vegetables and herbs. I still
find information a limiting resource. I have sent away for back
issues of Aquaponics Journal and a Home Aquaculture book, to add to
my "Freshwater Aquaculture" book, and have been in touch with the
Guelph Aquacentre.
I am trying to estimate startup costs of a basic system to see if I
enjoy it and can then increase scale. What is a reasonable amount
and what are the essential pieces of the system? I have the
AquaticEcosystems catalogue but do not want to spend the $3000 on a
"fish farm" package. Do you know of sources for "how-to" information
(the S&S Aqua info package is $200US - is it really worth it?), used
tanks, pumps, fingerlings?
thanks Victoria,
Corey

Adriana,
I am in Baton Rouge, LA. However, I grow the raspberries on the east
side of my house and a big water oak, so they get more like zone 7
because of lower afternoon temperatures. The Florida trials probably
were in full sun (?) and Heritage may be more tolerant of that. Also, I
have not done any yield trials (with 5 plants originally) so I am just
going on general vigor and appearance of the plants.
Based on some articles, I tried Rossanna but they promptly died as they
were leafing out, so that was a failure.
Allen

I haven't checked my mail in a whlie.. this list grows fast..
We grew Malabar Spinach sort of as an illustration of intensive hydroponic
food production in our prision Horticulture greenhouse. We used 5 gallon
plastic soap pails filled wtih a peat-lite mix (heavy on the pearlite) and
spray stakes for "drip to waste irrigation". The vines grew quickly with
20-20-20 water soluable feed and grew on to 15 feet or more. The young
leaves and stem are very tastey but as they get older they toughen and take
on an stronger flavor with thick musilage. We wanted the experiment to run
its course so the plant produced tons of unusual pink flowers with a black
berry (might be great for dye). One source I contacted said the berry was not
edible. The plants became diseased as they grew older, with round black
rings and spots with white centers (viral ?). This was over a year ago and I
now have volunteer seedlings as weed that I cant get rid of all over the
greenhouse! I would love to know if anyone has used this in an aquaponic or
commercial setting.
(Somewhere buried on my Jaz drive I have an Asian source for seed by the
pound)

Hi Cory,I am using the S&S system,yes it is well worth it,it is simple,and
natural,and believe me when it comes to reliablity, simplicity is always
better,you can use their design,whether it's very small or large scale you
desire,and there is a lot more than just the mechanical aspect,you're getting
their expertise. If you'll listen to someone who's been there and done
that,I"ll bet you will save more than $200.00 in mistakes.You're already
benefitting from S&S,every time you read this list! I would not be afraid of
used tanks in good condition,I'd be a little more cautious of used pumps,and
I just don't know about used Fingerlings?Theres a little How-To
Information,no charge.Ken

Hi Victoria,did you get much fruit,were the pot scrubbers for holding the
