Rooting Cuttings Using Aquaponics

Project: 1/4 Acre Permaculture Homestead and Food Forest

Posted by Harold Thornbro 4 months ago

Over the last few months I have integrated aquaponics into my small greenhouse. This has mostly been used for quickly rooting cuttings.

Most of the cutting I have placed in this system have a high success rate of rooting in soil but I find they root at least twice as fast using aquaponics. I have been rooting elderberry, fig, mulberry, and goji.

This has been helpful for the affordable, quick expansion of the food forest. Because of this system, I have been able to add dozens of these plants/trees to the property for free.

Donald Danson : I'm glad you were able to pull off this delicate process. I find cutting roots difficult, especially larger ones after removing a stump. To learn more about stump and root removal visit greatervictoriatreeservice.ca/stump-removal-stump-grinding-victoria-bc you'll learn a lot.

Robert Hones : We advise booking these necessary services at least once every one to three years. In order to improve air circulation and sunlight penetration to the tree's canopy by proper pruning like what melbourne tree service did, it is necessary to remove dead, diseased, or overgrown branches in a planned manner.

Legend of Badges

Note: The various badges displayed in people profiles are largely honesty-based self-proclamations by the individuals themselves. There are reporting functions users can use if they know of blatant misrepresentation (for both people and projects). Legitimacy, competency and reputation for all people and projects can be evidenced and/or developed through their providing regular updates on permaculture work they’re involved in, before/after photographs, etc. A spirit of objective nurturing of both people and projects through knowledge/encouragement/inspiration/resource sharing is the aim of the Worldwide Permaculture Network.

	Member A member is a permaculturist who has never taken a PDC course. These cannot become PDC teachers. Members may be novice or highly experienced permaculturists or anywhere in between. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Permaculture Matchmaker One of these badges will show if you select your gender and the "I'm single, looking for a permaculture partner" option in your profile.
	PDC People who claim to have taken a Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) course somewhere in the world.
	PDC Verified People who have entered an email address for the teacher of their PDC course, and have had their PDC status verified by that teacher. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	PRI PDC People who’ve taken a Permaculture Research Institute PDC somewhere in the world.
	PDC Teacher People who claim to teach some version of PDC somewhere in the world.
	PRI Teacher With the exception of the ‘Member’ who has never taken a PDC, all of the above can apply to become a PRI PDC Teacher. PRI PDC Teachers are those who the PRI recognise, through a vetting board, as determined and competent to teach the full 72-hour course as developed by Permaculture founder Bill Mollison – covering all the topics of The Designers’ Manual as well as possible (i.e. not cherry picking only aspects the teacher feels most interested or competent in). Such teachers also commit to focussing on the design science, and not including subjective spiritual/metaphysical elements. The reason these items are not included in the PDC curriculum is because they are “belief” based. Permaculture Design education concerns itself with teaching good design based on strategies and techniques which are scientifically provable. PRI PDC Teachers may be given teaching and/or consultancy offerings as they become available as the network grows.
	Aid Worker The individual with this badge is indicating they are, have, or would like to be involved in permaculture aid work. As such, the individual may or may not have permaculture aid worker experience. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Consultant The individual with this badge is indicating they are, have, or would like to do paid permaculture design consultancy work. As such, the individual may or may not have permaculture consultancy experience. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Community Project Community projects are projects that help develop sustainable community interaction and increase localised resiliency.
