forgive me for the possibly foolish question, but what kind of care do the fish in the aquaponics require? do you have to feed them to a certain point where the plants then supply their diet, or do you continuously care for them? merci! i love your blog 🌱

The plants don't feed the fish, it's the other way around :) The plants use the fish poop as natural fertiliser (with the help of useful bacteria that break it down), and in doing so they clean the water for the fish. Here's a little diagram

Since my system has towers over the fish tank rather than grow beds, the fish do nibble on the plant roots that dip in the water but that's just an illegal snack, fish food is their main diet. Also when I find little insects on the plants, I shake them so the insect falls in the water where the fish give it an enthusiastic welcome. Some aquaponic gardeners farm insects to feed their fish (and they feed the insects with some of the plants so they have a complete symbiotic system) but I haven't tried that yet. I used to successfully breed dynasties of stick insects in a terrarium in my bedroom as a kid, so maybe someday.

The fish part of the aquaponic system is very low-maintenance—I don't clean the tank since the plants absorb the fish waste, I just have to adjust how much I feed the fish depending on how many plants there are, so the water doesn't get dirty, it's a bit of a balancing act. The main other thing to watch for is the water pH, for plants it should be around 6 or 6.5 (ideally) and for fish around 7 or 7.5, so I try to keep it between 6.5 and 7 to keep everyone reasonably happy. Rainwater has a lower pH and my spring has a higher one, so when I fill up my watering can in the tank to water outside plants, I look at the pH meter and top up the tank with rain or spring water depending on what's needed.

You just have to be careful not to pick up a hitchhiker fish in your watering can as you go to water other plants!

#ask #english darling i know you don't hear this very often but you don't have enough words #filling my watering can with water to water the plants i planted in the planters...#at least make plant & planter and water & watering have different roots #arrosoir... regadera... just borrow something #you try to make things too simple for yourself you end up with unavoidable redundancy #like with your lack of pronominal verbs #came across the sentence ''la vida misma defendiéndose'' the other day / ''la vie elle-même se défend''#in english ''life itself defending itself''#you have to write itself twice! that's just shameful #anyway

the best 9 tips to help you start bodybuilding

Quick Bodybuilding Tips That Will Get You Faster Results!

bodybuilding

Bodybuilding appears to be genuinely basic, get a few weights and you wind up with the ideal body! This isn't really a genuine explanation as it requires substantially more. With this article I am will separate 9 essential key components required, to securely accomplish and pick up that at any point needed body.

1. Prepare In All Rep Ranges

Everybody builds up an inclination to prepare in a specific reiteration go. Perhaps you like the quality and thickness that accompanies substantial, low-rep preparing? Or, then again maybe you lean toward the pump and muscle completion that higher-rep preparing brings? In any case, understand that every redundancy run has benefits, particularly regarding muscle development. To get bigger muscles, prepare comprehensively. A decent run is to spend around 1/3 of your preparation time in the 2-6 rep run, 1/3 in the 7-12 rep go and the other 1/3 with sets of 13 reps or more. This will guarantee that you're developing in pretty much every way a muscle can develop, including myofibrillar hypertrophy, which originates from utilizing overwhelming weight for low reps AND sarcoplasm hypertrophy, which originates from doing higher reps with a more direct weight.

2. Try not to Train To Failure All Of The Time

Preparing to disappointment can positively be gainful, but at the same time it's extremely saddling to the body, particularly the sensory system. All the more particularly, preparing to disappointment is valuable as far as strong perseverance and even size, yet is less useful with respect to quality additions. In this way, while doing sets of 2-6, stop a rep or two shy of disappointment. However, on sets of at least 7 (where the objective is to metabolically charge the muscle), go to disappointment on the last set or two. To put it plainly, preparing to disappointment is a concentrated jolt that places a ton of weight on the body in a brief timeframe. It's a valuable, yet unforgiving strategy.

3. Squat In Your Training Routine

Despite the fact that you're not a power-lifter, you ought to do squats. The advantages are recently excessively various, making it impossible to do something else. Squats have an abnormal state of quality transference. For the most part, on the off chance that you can squat a considerable measure, you would leg be able to press a great deal, yet in light of the fact that you would leg be able to press a ton doesn't really mean you can squat a ton. Among different reasons, squats ought to be a piece of your leg preparing on a progressing premise since they work muscles that may not generally get enough consideration. You've likely been informed that, since squats are a compound development, you ought to dependably do them first in your routine and with an overwhelming weight/low-rep plot. While that is positively valid in case you're a power-lifter, they shouldn't generally be first or done substantial for working out purposes. You can place squats last in your leg routine and utilize a lighter weight, yet still receive significant rewards! Regardless of whether they're conventional back squats, front squats, or security bar squats, keep squats in your standard, you'll advantage both cosmetically and practically.

4. Keep Records

Through the span of your preparation profession you'll go over things that work extremely well for you and sooner or later, you'll likely need to backpedal and attempt them once more. Be that as it may, you can just do that on the off chance that you know precisely what it was you did! Monitor every last set and rep you do. It truly takes 3-5 seconds to scribble it down after each set. you're preparing log will turn out to be justified, despite all the trouble. You ought to likewise make brief or point by point notes about different things, for example, practice varieties or changes you like, wounds you have, or torments you're feeling, and so forth.

5. To begin with Sign of Tendinitis, Seek Medical Attention!

The same goes for any damage. In any case, tendinitis specifically can be HARD to manage! Ligaments are basically specific "finishes" of muscles that append the muscle immovably to its bone connection. Hence, every time you lift weights, you're unavoidably focusing on the ligaments and also the muscles themselves. When aggravation sets in a ligament, it tends to spread and will seldom leave individually, never in the event that you keep on stressing it. In any case, in the event that you address tendinitis early, it can be managed decently fast. Probably the most widely recognized sorts of tendonitis weightlifters get include: * Biceps tendinitis – felt in the foremost deltoid locale. * Average epicondylitis – a.k.a. golfers' elbow, felt within the elbow. * Horizontal epicondylitis – a.k.a. tennis elbow, felt outwardly of the elbow. * Triceps tendinitis – felt at distal triceps (simply over the elbow on back of arm). * Patella tendinitis – felt at, or simply over, the tibial tuberosity (just underneath kneecap).

6. Keep up A Strength Base

Preparing for appearance can make it somewhat befuddling with reference to what kind of substantial preparing objectives you ought to have. Since you don't really need to be solid or have extraordinary continuance, you're left with only the scale and the mirror to screen your advance. Despite the fact that quality isn't your ultimate objective, being solid in certain key pointer lifts (or development designs) will influence your size additions to come substantially simpler. This is what I consider to be a commonplace weight lifter's key pointer lifts: -Level Pressing (i.e. Seat press). -Paddling (i.e. Lines). -Vertical Pressing (i.e. Shoulder press). -Vertical Pulling (i.e. Force ups). -Hip Extension (i.e. Squats, Deadlifts *). * Although deadlifts and squats are recorded as choices to create hip expansion quality, they're sufficiently diverse as far as muscle enlistment that it would absolutely be advantageous to be solid in both the 'hunching down' and 'lifting' development designs. As your constitution propels, you may likewise need to ensure you have plentiful quality in the accompanying subordinate development designs too: Elbow flexion (i.e. Biceps twists). Elbow expansion (i.e. Skull crushers, Cable push downs). Knee flexion (i.e. Leg twists). Further, you might need to separate your paddling quality (a.k.a. even pulling) into upper back paddling (shoulders stole 60-90°) and lat paddling (shoulders snatched 0-30°). Help yourself out and get a strong establishment of quality. In the event that your quality on any real development design ever plunges too low, prepare to redevelop that quality base.

7. Utilize Variety

There are many diverse preparing approaches, however when you've attempted only two sorts of preparing, you'll have officially built up an inclination for one. Staying with one sort of preparing too long will moderate or even end your advance. Rather, you need to reliably give your body new and remarkable boosts on a genuinely customary premise. This is the best way to guarantee that all segments of the muscles are empowered and along these lines compelled to adjust. The most clear approach to change boosts is to change rep ranges, which we've canvassed in point #1. A more subtle kind of preparing change-up that will profit weightlifters is control preparing. Power is characterized as work done per unit of time, however in a weight training benevolent setting, control is 'the capacity to move a protection rapidly.' Plyometrics are an ideal case of energy. Olympic lifts like power cleans are additionally an extraordinary case of a power work out. If you somehow managed to take 4 a month and a half to concentrate on power or speed/quality preparing, you'd grow better quick jerk engine unit enlistment. This enhanced enlistment will empower you to assess your quick jerk filaments all the more promptly, in this way bringing about more general development. Your body is a mind boggling and dynamic creature, don't give it a similar jolt again and again to the detriment or other boosts. Rather, actualize things like power-lifting, Olympic lifting, yoga, run, and so forth, to help your weight training endeavors.

8. Try not to Have Training ADD

The primary reason individuals don't get comes about because of a program is just on the grounds that they don't allow it to work. They have Training ADD, and can't concentrate on one program sufficiently long for it to create comes about. It's normal following a long time on another preparation program that you may find that you need to change to another. This might be on the grounds that you feel the new program is exhausting, doesn't give you an extraordinary pump, is too hard, too simple, or in light of the fact that you read about an incredible new program. Try not. While it might be "ordinary" to get exhausted with a program, it's not typical to offer in to these sentiments of fatigue each week or two; nor is it perfect, either. I said in point #7 to utilize an assortment of procedures, however that does NOT intend to utilize one program one week, at that point another program the following week. Here's the key: Use an assortment of projects and methods, yet once you choose to execute one, you should stay with it for no less than a month, with around two months being the ordinary. This will give that program time to work and inspire the adjustments in your body that it's going to.

9. Have a fabulous time

On the off chance that preparation isn't in any event to some degree a good time for you, you'll either discover pardons not to do it or you'll give your exercises a half exertion. What's more, that will accomplish nothing for you completely. Having some good times preparing could run opposing to a significant number of the tips over, it's dependent upon you to choose which manage abrogates the other. In the event that you fear preparing to the point of needing to skip exercises, at that point it's most likely time to switch things up, paying little heed to what extent you should remain on the program. Simply be straightforward with yourself, your sentiments about preparing and your objectives. It's fine to like a few sorts of preparing and to loathe others. Simply be developed enough to stand responsible for your choices. In the event that you say that you need more than anything to get greater, however loathe doing the kind of preparing it takes to arrive, at that point, you have an issue.
