Hi everyone,
With all our efforts in the aquaculture and blooming aquaponics industry we
hope to one day market our products successfully so that our hard work pays
off. What's the point of having a great product if we don't know how to
market it and value add it.
There are ways to market and there are ways to market.
Something that has helped us immensly is a marketing site with all the
secrets that the gurus don't want you to know.
I know them now and have increased our marketing three fold.
Free reports are available but only go if you want to discover these hidden
secret breakthroughs.You will have to go through our spiel (please read and
enjoy) the additional URL is there.
IMPORTANT! Don't hit reply, instead e-mail me please ( so I can address you
personally ) at andrews@privatesites.com
I hope to be able to provide you all with some info on some of the new
species our Dept. are working with once the proprietry clauses have been
released.These would be marine and freshwater ornamentals in the U.S.A. i.e
Barramundi, Snapper etc. We can provide you with these species, however, you
will need to organise quarrantine on your side etc.They will be certified
disease free from Govt. Vet Lab.
Press Release: Aquaculture Advantage of Australia is a supplier of aquatic
equipment and we have now released our 4th compact clarifilter with a
biomass standing crops of 1,350 lbs and mechanical filtration to 20um. for
only Aus$2,265.00.
U.S.A. dealers and distributors are welcome to apply.
Regards
Andrew

Hi Jim,
apparently there is a relationship between your last words to Ted and you=
r comment to me: increase bacterial growth instead of diluting the water.=
Now, how could I encourage bacterial growth in biodigested waste water, =
which is lead to an algal/bacterial pond? The idea is to feed the fish =
at least to a great extend on the microorganisms developing in this water=
.

I am swimming in bugs! Aphids on my red giant mustard, cutworms in my
tatsoi and some whiteflies in the lettuce. A few thrips and mummy
aphids thrown in for variety in my mix. The latter I kept sort of under
ocntrol with M-pede (Safer soap), Di-Pel (BT) and natural pyrethrins.
Along came armyworms in my swiss chard. By the time I figured out that
BT wasn't touching them the chard looked like lace! Now they're
starting in on my Bull's Blood beets, yikes!
The extension service recommended somthing that cost $500/gallon and the
smallest size is a gallon (sorry the name of this wonder product has
vanished from my mind). I marched my buggy, wormy leaves to the local
pesticide company and they suggested either Neem or Naturalis, a fungus
that has just been approved for veggies. At $45 for a quart the
Naturalis was a steal! Has anybody tried it? It is supposed to attack
anything that moves but is a people friendly biological product that
starts to reproduce in your beds for on-going control. I will report
back on its effectiveness. Another interesting product they showed me
was a pyrethrin aerosol bomb. At $8 a pop it was pricey, fortunately I
have the most porous greenhouse in the Universe so I couldn't be
tempted.
Does anybody have any suggestions for other good on-going bug-control
routines?
Can you recommend a good sprayer for when I upgrade from the $20
variety?

Bad bugs can't belch
use black strap molasses mixed in water and spray this on the plants,this
gives the plant a false brix reading. When a bug eats a high sugar plant
,the sugar turns to alcohol and kills the bug,they can tell when a plant has
high sugar so they stay away

Adriana,
Put out the old flypaper strips for the whitefly. Greenhouses generally
have something similar that is white and sticky
