Love your creativity Wendi! Yes water chestnuts do bring a distinct crunch to many various dishes. Very nice and simple growing experiment you have created and are enjoying Thank you for sharing. Happy Gardening! -Bob…
I want to do one with water spinach and pennywort.
Great video. Love your creativity!
This exciting to see.
I've had Aquaponics for 10+ years.
Goldfish can survive cold temps. Your's are called Comets.
No filtration needed because the plants clean the water the way trees clean the air.
Bentonite Montmorillonite will add nutrients good for the whole system and bring out fabulous colors on your fish because they will be healthier. It's cheap and top Koi breeders use it. A little goes a long way.
Best of luck. This is a gateway drug to full blown Aquaponics.
Need to dechlorinate the water everytime you add tap water. Theres a liquid for this and its only a capfull everytime we add water from tap to our pond.
I actually watched this. It’s a humor. People are screaming to break out in the real world, the world where you can be with the real and taste the nature.

Hi😷
Love the experimental, creative aspects of this! In California mosquito fish live in all sorts of adverse conditions, simply neglected concrete trough filled with rain water for example that gets hot in summer and cold in winter.
I am sorry. Luv u n all but tht was just Nasty what if it worked tht water would of touch ur mouth 😯😟🤨 tht was so cringey I was yelling at my tv like no dont do it u will get sick🤢🤮😳😵🤪
Wendi, your garden looks amazing!🐞
The goldfish are fine without a heater the plants supply oxygen to the water. You can use mosquito fish very very little care with them no filtration needed and their poops will fertilize all the plants. BTW have you ever grown peperomia pellucida.
Is that the jumbu wax apple behind you??
Papaya stems can be used as straws
So glad you made this video! Super creative, such an interesting watch!
Love this video!
Some good ideas here!
Where were you able to find water chestnut plants or tubers?
This is amazing! Definitely want to replicate this or something similar
hello if you have questions about aquaponics you can ask me
Wendi, don't do that! Put that straw down! Think, fish poop!
I would love to try to grow this.
Awesome video, Wendi!! Can we get a pond update soon? Cheers from Portland, Tyler.
You can also have the Gambusa mosquito fishes. They are small guppy, they eat lavae. You can get them free from Department of mosquito control. If you can not find them, i can give you some. They are small, so they get into all small corner of the plants, where the mosquito hide and the gold fish can not get in. I live in Orange County, you can contact me if you need the mosquito fishes.
Love your creativity, but probably blowing dryer heat with fabric softener is just as polluting as getting them from sludge pools in China. Amazing idea though and thanks for giving me ideas!
I’m so stoned idk how I got here I’m 6:00 Into the video I’ll finish and give it a thumbs up 😂
I do that every year in my kitchen soaking it in the water and it would roots and grow but I needed to change the water every others days.
Had me till she ate a leaf then attempted to drink the water or gargle with it… Thanks for posting your experience regardless.
I think if you already have plants growing in a tub then maybe you don’t need a filter. Plants eat the waste of fish—like compost. Also, since you don’t have it in intense sun eight hours a day, it doesn’t have tons of algae. Too much algae can be a bad thing in a close environment. I have a “pond” in a feed trough with no air filter. For the mosquito fish, it hasn’t been a problems However I just added some comet goldfish. I don’t think I have sufficient plants in the long run for the waste that goldfish produce. Working on it. The goldfish are happy for now. Trying to keep things balanced.
I just got the notification, girl.
Common goldfish are Comets.
