I picked them this morning about 5.00am. Photo taken at lunchtime so they have survived well in the office in just water for 7 hours. I think the fact the roots do not get caught up in soil is a real bonus with this system.

Giving away some of the tomato plants. Fantastic roots on them. Clean, long, hairy etc. Very happy with progress.

Ghana Ponics Ernest Style Part 2
Just received a short video from Ernest. Seems he has got the fish running round in circles. Well square circles given the shape of his tanks !!
Also as you can see there is plenty of water. The fish get much bigger they will jump out. Seems siphons are working well. I can tell you that is a relief as I had visions of sitting around for ages getting the settings correct. Still might have problems adjusting flows etc once the permanent pump is in place.
Next step is we are busy doing nothing awaiting the delivery of the water pump and air pump. Due on 23rd. I think the tilapia will survive till then. The doing nothing is fun !!! Could get used to it.
Once we get this working which I hope is next weekend, we can invite a few friends of Ernest round who also want systems. More for a workshop and chit chat then anything else. Who knows maybe we get a few more followers. Would be a fun thing to do.

Ghana Ponics 6
Finally got two gold fish and added some small Chinese spring onion which Wanna had brought back from Thailand. I had added some tomato seeds and also some coriander seeds. Only the tomato are starting at this time. I've got a friend who wants a system so I will move some of these to his place. That's next weekends job. Meantime I need to find some more fish. Tried yesterday to find some tilapia but no luck. Gold fish are expensive here. About 7 USD each !!!!!! That's why I only bought 2.....
