Working with the Haller foundation we constructed a pedal powered aquaponics system fed with home made soldier fly pelleted fish feed…
This demonstration system built in Mombasa took just 4 days and $70 to build. Water is circulated by a foot pump three times a day. All tanks are recycled containers and the growing media is used coral from the nearby disused quarry mixed with volcanic ash rock. This system would provide a large family with supplementary protein and vegetables each week.
Fish food trials were performed with feed formulated from farm derived ingredients including worms, black soldier fly and various plant wastes.
