Hey everyone,

I haven't had the gardening bug for long but boy do I have it bad :joy: Heres a video of what it all looks like now, its an aquaponics system and a bunch of container veggies. I plan on expanding this with self watering containers, a shadehouse over the whole roof, a bigger AP setup and drip irrigation for all the pots, whether they're self watering or otherwise.

I'd love to hear what you guys think :wave:

lol yea, I hate them, they've been plaguing me for months, this isn't the first time I've muttered curses at them during an update, or generally. In the beginning they were just 'bastards', so you can see how the loathing has grown. :bash:

I've got to say, it feels a little unusual, I've got to know your house quite well Abdul, even though it's on the other side of the world, and I've never been there. :rock:
