Aquaponics in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia update 25 March 2011 --- more pictures

Sprouting peppermints in a plastic cup. To avoid losing the tiny seeds, i lined the cup with tissue paper, seeds, one layer of hydroton...it worked!
Sprouting basil in a plastic cup, lined up with tissue paper. This is going to be my germinating technique from now on.

Cappucina in a small container with potting mix topped with hydroton. I want to experiment growing these flowering vines on conventional method and lets see if it works.


Bell pepper / siling prasko on my AP System 2. I was able to grow a few of them... i love bell pepper in spaghetti, noodles and mixed vegetables... i tasted it once also as topping for scrambled eggs!



Brocolli on my AP System2 ... it takes ages for them to grow.. but they are OK.




Watermelon / Pakwan, crawling down. It has 3 new stems with flower buds. I have to wait for a few more months.. before i see fruits from it.





Taro/Gabi first leaf, 2nd leaf about to open... can't wait to have my first organic 'laing', not from the can!






Basil - smells good in the garden! Tried to put a leaf in my hibiscus tea yesterday...tasted good.







Bush beans / bitswelas - in the Philippines, I think these only grows in Baguio..well, let me try and grow them here and we'll see....

There are various modular systems made for the public that utilize aquaponic systems to produce organic vegetables and herbs, and provide indoor aquaponics decor at the same time. These systems can serve as a source of herbs and vegetables indoors.
