Godney Aquaponics


Godney Aquaponics
In the village of Godney, with the beautiful back drop of the Glastonbury Tor, Melv and Sal are embarking on a new venture. Fed up with the poor quality of veg in the shops, they have the ambition to set up an aquaponics system to provide fresh vegetables and salad crops for the village, and with a little help from their hens a supply of fresh free range eggs too.


What is Aquaponics??


What is Aquaponics??
Aquaponics is a sustainable method of producing quality food with minimal external inputs. It is a system that combines conventional aquaculture (e.g. fish in tanks) with hydroponics (cultivating plants in water) in a symbiotic environment. Water from the aquaculture system is fed to the hydroponic system where the by-products are broken down and are utilised by the plants as nutrients, and the water is then re-circulated back to the aquaculture system.

Lunch today

My word it was cold outside today - so there is nothing better than a selection of hand picked veg and salad to remind you and bring back memories of the warmer summer months.


From homemade pickled gherkins and chilies to baby plum and black Russian tomatoes, red veined sorrel to red batavia leaves and of course added crunch provided from traditional carrots to the exotic Chinese water melon radish - delicious.

Another summer favourite were the tennis ball sized brandy wine tomatoes - can't wait for next year...
