Working on the greenhouse door and our aquaponics system in the grreenhouse.

I took a solar powered fountain pump and cut the wire to splice in a 6 volt lead acid battery. Then I used a larger solar panel to keep the battery charged up while powering the water pump.

I set up the aquaponics system with the solar powered water pump. The pump filled the grow bed and the water drained out the bottom nicely. But the water pump is not powerful enough to fill the grow bed fast enough to cause the siphon to work.

I ordered a new 12 volt water pump to power our off grid aquaponics system.

I put the door on our greenhouse and finally we can enter and leave with comfort instead of bending down and stepping over the chicken wire.

This was an old screen door I recycled. I used some hinges and bolts I got for free from various sources during the past year. The door works nicely. I am very pleased with our greenhouse so far this year.
