TCLynx on another Forum

Hay again. I know I don't pop in here much but some one mentioned to me that some here might be appreciative of me sharing this.



I finally broke down and did a video walk through of my Big system.
Sorry, didn't include any info on the fish feeders or the other systems so that will have to wait till I have time to shoot some more videos. This one was long enough anyway! This was my first attempt at video editing, I have been resistant to doing videos up till now.

Great video! What varieties of bananas do you have?

[TCLynx]

What varieties, I really don't know.
There was one from a catalog that was supposedly a dwarf banana but they didn't give a variety name and that I believe is what is growing in the aquaponics system. I had figured a dwarf would be more appropriate to aquaponics but apparently aquaponics is just to good to stay small.

I have another variety that we got a pup from a neighbor near by but that one grows little bananas though the plant gets fairly big.

We have one other variety from some friends but that one hasn't fruited yet though the plant is getting quite large.

Most dwarf varieties of banana are in the 5' to 10' trunk height. The average normal size plants are 15' to 25'. If you want a small plant that produces fruit look for a SDC (super dwarf cavendish) It tops out at about a 4' trunk.

Some time or another I might try some of the "Truly Tiny" variety a few places here in FL I've seen have them.

Otherwise, I'll see what we think of the fruit off this one. The fruit seem to be longer and thinner than the other variety we once has fruit for us which had the short fruit.

Hi all
I know I haven't really kept up on this site, Sorry.
Anyway, I'm planning a free workshop where I'm going to expand one of my aquaponics systems and give others a chance to get a little hands on experience if they wish.
It is planned for December 11 and 12 from 10-4 with pot luck lunch. My place is near Mount Dora

Hay I finally got a fish cam up online. I don't think I'm allowed to post a link to it though so here is a youtube video I captured from it.



and another one I did after dark



If you want to see the live cameras you will have to search out my site and go to the Aquaponic Lynx Live Garden Cameras tab and chose what you want to look at.

OK I'm at a loss, how are you supposed to embed youtube videos here? I've tried several ways and I'm just seeing the code not the video? Ok I've simply put the youtube links in since the youtube code doesn't seem to be working.

I think it's currently broken...
