The fruits of urban aquaponic farming: Egg plant and mint

From our urban aquaponic farm we have been harvesting the fruits of our labour. We have harvested egg plant and mint. The egg plant we used for various tasty vegetarian/vegan snacks like grilled egg plant with garlic and herbs or ital egg plant fritters and the mint we dried for mint tea.

 Mint leaves growing well in the aquaponic system: The dried leaves make an excellent tea.

 Massive egg plant yields on weekly basis

 The flowers of an egg pant

 Recycle single use plastics. By cutting plastic bottles and stuffing it with water sackets makes an excellent bio filer. The perfect medium for the useful aquaponic bacterias.

 The NFT system is currently empty. Only some weeds are growing.

 Clear water in the fish tank

 A snail in the biofilter hels to further break down the minerals. According to research, snails in aquaponic increase overall health in aquaponic systems as the feed on the waste in the filter.

 Baked egg plant with garlic and herbs on grilled bread. A tasty vegan snack.

 Ital egg plant fritters! Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo tasty!!!

 Growing tomatoes and mango seedlings in the aquaponic media bed.

 Can aquaponic become a tree crop nursery option? We need to try further... Mongoes seems doing well in the aquaponic.

Drying the mint leaves. The dried leaves are stored in a mason jar for tea!
