Aquaponic system update: Tubers and maize performing well

Our latest update on the growth of our plants in the aquaponic system: Tomatoes, maize, parsley and sweet potatoes showing strong growth. A suprise was the performance of the sweet potatoes, which are tubers with excess leave growth. Sweet potatoes are a staple diet for many Sierra Leoneans, better know locally as "petete lif". Aquaponic tuber production might be an option to counteract extreme high food prices of foods like potatoe leaves in Sierra Leone.
