The Lifesaving Flow: Exploring the Importance of Water Movement in Biofloc Aeration

In the bustling world of fish farming, every ripple counts, and one silent hero often goes unnoticed: water movement. Particularly within the innovative world of biofloc technology, ensuring proper aeration through water movement isn't just important—it's indispensable. Let's embark on a journey to uncover the many benefits of water movement, explore the potential consequences of its absence, and zoom in on the remarkable role of bubbles in biofloc aeration.

The Important Role of Water Movement

Water movement isn't just about creating pretty patterns in a tank; it's about sustaining life within aquatic ecosystems. In biofloc systems, where microscopic communities thrive and fish rely on a delicate balance, water movement is the beating heart that keeps everything in harmony.

1. Oxygenation: Picture this: fish gasping for breath in still water. Without enough oxygen, aquatic life suffocates. Water movement ensures that oxygen-rich water circulates throughout the tank, providing a lifeline for fish, shrimp, and the tiny creatures that call biofloc systems home.

2. Nutrient Distribution: Just like plants need water to transport nutrients from roots to leaves, aquatic organisms depend on water movement to distribute essential nutrients and food particles. Without this movement, some areas of the tank become nutrient-deprived, hindering growth and productivity.

3. Temperature Regulation: Water movement plays a crucial role in maintaining optimal water temperatures. It prevents thermal stratification, where warmer water accumulates at the surface and colder water sinks to the bottom. By promoting uniform temperatures, water movement creates a comfortable environment for aquatic life.

4. Waste Removal: Imagine living in a room without windows or doors—eventually, it would fill up with trash. In biofloc systems, water movement prevents waste from accumulating by carrying it away from the living areas of aquatic organisms. This reduces the risk of water pollution and maintains clean water quality.

The problems caused by low water movement

Now, let's think about the bleak scenario of stagnant water within fish farming systems. Without the gentle movement of water, life within biofloc tanks would spiral into chaos.

1. Oxygen Deprivation: As oxygen levels drop, fish and other aquatic organisms struggle to breathe. Without enough oxygen, they become stressed, vulnerable to diseases, and ultimately face suffocation—a sad fate for creatures that rely on the very substance dissolved in the water around them.

2. Nutrient Imbalance: In the absence of water movement, nutrients and food particles settle at the bottom of the tank, creating localized hotspots of abundance and barren deserts elsewhere. This imbalance disrupts the delicate ecosystem dynamics, leading to stunted growth, malnutrition, and increased competition among organisms.

3. Temperature Extremes: Still water becomes a breeding ground for temperature extremes. Without the moderating influence of water movement, surface waters may become excessively warm, while deeper waters remain frigid—a recipe for thermal shock and stress among aquatic inhabitants.

4. Toxic Buildup: Waste products, such as ammonia and carbon dioxide, accumulate in still water, poisoning aquatic life. Ammonia, released as a byproduct of organic decay and excretion, reaches toxic levels, impairing fish health and compromising immune systems. Meanwhile, carbon dioxide accumulates, lowering pH levels and further exacerbating the toxic environment.

The Marvel of Bubbles: Aeration in Biofloc Systems

Now, let's zoom in on a fascinating aspect of water movement in biofloc systems: the role of bubbles. Bubbles aren't just whimsical spheres dancing in the water; they're tiny messengers of life-saving oxygen. AirOxi diffusers and aeration tubes are some of the examples of this kind of aeration which also provides water movement. You can find out more information here www.airoxi.com  and buy the airoxi tubes here www.buy.airoxi.com

1. Oxygen Infusion: Bubbles act as carriers of oxygen, ferrying precious air from the surface to the depths of the tank. As they rise through the water column, bubbles release oxygen molecules, enriching the surrounding water and sustaining aerobic microbial activity.

2. Mixing Magic: As bubbles ascend, they create a whirlwind of motion, stirring the water and promoting mixing. This turbulent action prevents stratification, ensuring that oxygenated water reaches every corner of the tank and revitalizes the entire ecosystem.

3. Surface Splash: When bubbles burst at the water's surface, they create a splash that enhances gas exchange. This process facilitates the removal of carbon dioxide—a metabolic waste product—and replenishes oxygen levels, rejuvenating the aquatic environment.

4. Aesthetic Appeal: Beyond their functional benefits, bubbles add a touch of whimsy to biofloc systems. Watching bubbles dance through the water can be mesmerizing, fostering a sense of connection with the aquatic world and inspiring awe in observers.

Expanding Horizons: Harnessing the Power of Bubbles

In the journey for optimal water movement and aeration, harnessing the power of bubbles becomes paramount. Here's how we can maximize the effectiveness of bubbles in biofloc systems:

1. Bubble Dynamics: By optimizing bubble size, distribution, and release rate, fish farmers can fine-tune aeration levels to meet the specific needs of their biofloc systems. Smaller bubbles offer greater surface area for oxygen transfer, while controlled release ensures efficient oxygenation without causing turbulence-induced stress to aquatic organisms. Ensure that the AirOxi tube that you select for aeration is of proper size and is as per the blower that you have decided. To see which blower is suitable for your aquaculture you can read our previous blog here www.airoxi.com  (which blower is suitable)

2. Aeration Devices: Investing in high-quality aeration devices, such as fine-pore diffusers or air stones, enhances bubble performance and longevity. These devices create a fine mist of bubbles that linger in the water, gradually releasing oxygen and promoting sustained aeration.

3. Strategic Placement: Positioning aeration devices strategically throughout the tank ensures uniform oxygen distribution and prevents dead zones where water movement is limited. By targeting areas prone to stagnation, such as corners or beneath dense biofloc mats, fish farmers can mitigate the risk of oxygen depletion and promote optimal conditions for microbial growth and nutrient recycling.

4. Monitoring and Adjustment: Regular monitoring of water quality parameters, including dissolved oxygen levels, allows fish farmers to assess the effectiveness of aeration strategies and make timely adjustments as needed. By maintaining a delicate balance between aeration and water movement, they can optimize the health and productivity of their biofloc systems.

Conclusion: Riding the Wave of Biofloc

In the ever-changing world of fish farming, the importance of water movement in biofloc aeration shines brightly as a beacon of innovation and sustainability. From the life-sustaining benefits of oxygenation and nutrient distribution to the mesmerizing dance of bubbles, water movement holds the key to unlocking the full potential of biofloc systems. By embracing the marvels of modern technology and harnessing the power of nature, fish farmers can ride the wave of innovation toward a future where thriving aquatic ecosystems coexist harmoniously with sustainable fish farming practices.

As we navigate the challenges and opportunities of aquaculture, let's remember the crucial role of water movement—a lifeline for aquatic life and a cornerstone of sustainable fish farming. By understanding and harnessing its power, we can pave the way for a brighter, more resilient future for our oceans and the communities that depend on them. Together, let's continue to explore, innovate, and protect the precious resources that sustain life beneath the waves.

Alrighty so this is the post on lichen dyes!

this particular bath of lichen dyes was originally started over a year ago scraping a tentatively-ID'd lecanora and/or ochrolechia genus lichen off of a fallen branch (remember, don't gather lichen when it's still growing! it's very slow growing and easy to overharvest)

to start off, this particular type of dye is made through the ammonia-fermentation method, also known as ammonia maceration. No actual bacterial fermentation occurs though. Rather, the compound orcinol (and precursor compound to orcinols) react with ammonia (N2) and oxygen to form the compound orcein (also called orchil/archil) which is what makes the final dye!

this process takes anywhere from 3 weeks to 16+ weeks depending on the lichen species, its constituent acids, the temperature, and the frequency of aeration.

This batch was set aside for several months and neglected a good bit, but it still works. I strained out the crumbled lichens (which i set aside for later) and diluted it 1:4 as instructed by a very good book called Lichen Dyes: The New Source Book by Karen Diadick Casselman. This book is basically omnipresent everywhere you see lichen dyes mentioned, especially the orcein-based dyes. I also used several websites/videos/papers and such that i've hunted down over various internet crawls.

I use an old coffee pot for this as it's both a non-reactive material (glass) and is built to withstand heat. Ironically i also scraped the lichens off the branch using a tool i made out of a metal band from the broken handle of this same coffee pot!

I decided to dye some eri silk cakes that i fluffed up and scoured. these have been very good at absorbing dye in the past so i would hopefully get a good result from them. As lichens are a substantive dye i don't have to put a mordant on them, but i did soak them in an alum solution just before adding them to the dye bath to hopefully maximize dye uptake as well as improve fastness as lichen dyes are also fugitive and can fade in sunlight.

Substantive dyes contain mordants already embedded in them; fugitive dyes are a bit fuzzy to me but my understanding is they end up trapped in the fiber instead of actually bonding to the fiber in a stronger way. Mordants are used to help the dye "bite" onto the fiber better, improving both fastness (the ability of a due to resist fading from sunlight/washing/time) and the brightness of a color. Alum is useful in that it typically doesn't affect the end color of a dye more than simply making it slightly more strong!

it was pretty successful i'd say! i warmed up the dyebath, added the silk, let it simmer for a few hours, let it cool down overnight, and then warmed it back up the next day for a few hours; then, when it cooled, i took it out, let it dry, then rinsed it, and let it dry a second time. At that point, it was ready for spinning!

It was a lovely pink color that's not fully captured by the camera like most dyes, and eri silk is lovely because you can spin the clouds directly and easily without carding and make lovely relatively threadlike yarn

this was the first skein i got! i love how shiny the silk is. Some dyes can get really purple or even magenta-like!

next, i had the leftover lichens that i had set aside. They were a crumbly texture and dark black and i dried them out, crushed them up more, set them back in a jar, added more ammonia and water, and did the ammonia fermentation method a second time! this was after reading about the method for making french purple, and while this is definitely a very pale imitation of the method, the double-soak is the key feature here

here it is (on the left); it was already way darker purple than an in-progress lichen dye i had yet to crack open and use

speaking of which, heres a shot of various test lichens i had while working on this, you can see the blue-capped jar that has the second-soaked lichens. the foam will often give a preview of whether or not the dye will be red/purple or not!

Here it is, i forget how long i let it soak but i think it was a bit over a week. i strained the material out, diluted it, and then repeated the same warm/cool/warm/cool/dry/rinse/dry method with more eri silk

And below you can see the difference, it's definitely slight but still cool!

the left is from the original dyebath, the right is the second-soaked one. the first one is more salmon-colored while the second is a tad more blue-purpled!

I'm extremely excited about this, these dyes have such a fascinating history and have multiple historical uses everywhere from florentine orchil to norwegian korkje to scottish cudbear and more, and it was often used in tandem with the roman murex/tyrian purple dyes that come from a mussel. Some folks used the lichens to pre-dye the fabric before dyeing with tyrian purple, both to stretch the expensive tyrian purple and to make the end color more vibrant. It's all such a great topic that's mightily confusing and could take up a post of its own, same with the underlying chemistry of what makes these dyes work in the first place!

Anyways that's all for this post, i have more i'm working on involving actually turning these dyes into paint that i'll hopefully turn into a post on its own soon! I've also got other lichen dyes I'm waiting to get through the ammonia fermentation process that will hopefully give other colors, whenever that may be!

The Lab Rats

Dave the Human and Dave The Human were checking on the moss substrates - Spot checking for anything that might have snuck in, or any environmental issues that could be detected by checking the moss's bio-accumulation.

Garfield "Garf" Bloom, a 7ft tall, kinda reptilian biped rolled in, in her normal-for-the-species gait, hauled out Un-Named Male, her little guy, out of her pouch and dropped him from a moderate height onto the moss bank.

"Hey Garf." said the Dave that was a female Tsin for biological reasons and a male human for Payroll reasons.

"Yo, you two." said the Dave who was Human, plausibly male but had spent a week as a Female Atrix, as part of a plot to annoy the government.

Un-Named Male flashed a howdy with his display patch and wiggled into the patch of purple moss happily, which is a small Atrix's natural habitat.

"So I heard that the Human science labs still use rats." Garf said. "Do you... not use bio-chips or clone cells?"

Dave with scales scratched her chin. "Dave, you want to take this one?"

Other Dave wiggled a probe into a particularly scruffy clump of moss and nodded. "Indeed I do!" he said.

"You see, rats are very social, and have a short generation span. Back before we could load up cells onto a chip for testing we needed them for... well testing."

"Yesh! Pretty much everyone did that at some point in history." added Dave The Human, Running a spectrograph on a sample to check the light absorption was within the expected range.

Un-Named Male jsut lurked in the soft, moist moss and let the high UV lighting play on his back, which added nothing to the conversation, but he did look very comfortable.

"Right. So when it stopped being necessary for uh, biological testing, rats were often used for behavioural testing. Non-human cognition, social studies, that sort of thing."

"OK..." said Garf, quietly wiggling her fingers into the moss and making a kneading motion, a common and casual motion that would break up the substrate and allow aeration. It was soothing - Even a big Atrix like Garf remembered the comfort of hiding in a moss patch.

The Atrix parts of The Station were basically covered in various species of Moss - Their solution to air quality and comfort, and it'd taken the humans about nine seconds to point at a wall mat of deliciously verdant and fuzzy plant life and go 'Want!'.

Indeed, the introduction of non-native species for one's living quarters was just one of the benefits of the Human-Atrix alliance.

The Tsin, who developed scales to keep their water on the inside had not really taken to it so much, but if you want some fungus to add a little pizazz, they're the go-to.

"Anyway, eventually it sort of got to be a hobby thing. People like rats. They make great pets, they quite like us, and they're very non-judgemental. So someone did this study and found that labs that had a colony of two or more rats had better results... The scientists could go over and fuss with the little fuzzballs and de-stress, and it turns out if you sit down and explain your experiments to a rat, you often figure out what is causing you problems."

"Seriously?" asked Dave The Human.

"Seconded." said Garf.

"Wait, aren't they vermin?"

"Oh totally." said Dave, "Well some are. Same species. But... it turns out if you give them the opportunity they're little fuzzy buddies, so we brought them with us."

"And they're used by human scientists... to figure things out indirectly?"

"For real. Sometimes they get cited in papers as authors," said Dave happily. "I used to keep a couple when I was a Little Guy"

Note: Little Guy in this case is an Atrix phrase. The Atrix pretty much only have one gender which is size. It actually doesn't distinguish male or female. That's a human thing. Even the Tsin have four biological sexes. Un-Named Male is only nominally male because he's small. He is an adult of the species. One day he's going to put on some body mass and develop bipedal locomotion and eventually be a large Atrix, and get his own Little Guy, and be referred to as female.

"That's why they're called Lab Rats - They're essential to Human Science."

Garf pondered this, leaning to run her cheek along a mossy wall. "We just talk to our little guys." she noted casually and a patch of moss said "Grak" in confirmation.

The Tsin in the room made a face. "Dang, yo. I think we're missing out!"

"Hmm," said the more human of the Daves. "I smell an Interspecies Xenthropology collab..."

And that, dearly beloved, is how the Tsin got their Rats.

Closing Loops in Soilless Gardening - Hydroponics and Aquaponics

What is the future of food production going to look like? Is the projected 10 billion people in 25 years, out of which two thirds will live in cities, going to require us to convert every square meter of arable land into intensive mono cultural farms? Please don't let that be true! There HAS to be some alternative. Fortunately, there are several. Two of them are different ways of growing plants without soil, a radically new method, which may be most appealing to urban food production.

image source

Hydroponics: Growing Plants in Water

When it comes to growing large amounts of food on a small area efficiently, hydroponic systems are often brought up as a solution. And the reasons sound pretty convincing: An efficient hydroponic farm uses 90% less water, and can yield 3-10 times the amount of produce per area, with 7-14 growth cycles in a year. IMPRESSIVE! But before getting too excited, let's not forget: the devil is in the details! It's worth looking into under exactly what conditions those plants grow, being fed by what light, and most importantly which nutrients, and where they come from.

image source

The basic concept, however, of growing plants vertically, in mostly water, with some kind of substrate, such as clay balls or vermiculite, is actually a pretty nifty way to grow food where there are no fields. The most basic form of this may be the Windowfarm technique, which I experimented with myself years ago in my Budapest apartment. Going to Shanghai, the whole idea seems to be taken to a whole new level.

https://static.dezeen.com/uploads/2017/04/sunqiao-urban-agricultural-district-Sasaki-architecture-industrial-china-shanghai_dezeen_hero-b.jpg image source

Is That Really Sustainable? Or Even Healthy?

… not to mention, does hydroponics even fit into Permaculture? Because let's be honest: with a system that needs to be constantly managed and monitored you could not be further from a self-supporting ecosystem. Also, what exactly do those plants get to eat? The typical N-P-K made industrially out of petrochemicals? Most likely. So while it certainly reduces the transport related drawbacks, hydroponics is by no means energy efficient, and the nutritional value won't be any better than your most industrially grown veggies.

image source

How Does Aquaponics Compare?

Okay, so let's bring in the fish! For those not familiar with the difference between the two systems, aquaponics is the combination of hydroponics and aquaculture, which are simply fish farms. Having fish in a tank, they will naturally defecate into the water, requiring it to be changed regularly. Plants, however love to eat those nutrients that the fish excrete. Or to be more exact, they feed on the nutrients that have been converted by bacteria and other microbes. The ammonia will turn in to nitrites, which in turn become nitrates, that is food for the plants.

image source

So running the water from the fish through the plants growing substrate will on one hand feed the plants, as well as clean it for the fish to enjoy it again. So the system already closed a few loops there, making it more sustainable than just mere hydroponics. Also, the inclusion of microbes already offers a more diverse environment, bringing the system a bit closer to an ecosystem. But let's not get ahead of ourselves: Aquaponic systems still need close monitoring, as they are still a far cry from a self sustaining ecosystem of let's say a pond. Also, the water circulation / aeration is most likely going to require a pump, and depending on the exact setup of the system, maybe artificial lighting for the plants. All these aspects add to the energy requirement of the aquaponic system.

image source

A Truly Closed Loop? Consider the Food of the Fish!

When praising the sustainability of aquaponics, one thing that mustn't be ignored is the source of the fish food. Just like with the hydroponic systems, where the food for the plants or the fertilizer is considered, we can't ignore the feed we give to our fish to eat. If it is the same industrial feed, we may as well have kept to our hydroponics. Not true, since including fish already makes our system more diverse. So instead, let's continue in that same direction. What do fish eat? What is good for them? How can we grow that food ourselves?

image source

Making Your Own Sustainable Fish Food

Here I could probably start a number of individual posts, since talking about fish food is like opening up a can of worms. But fortunately, I already have a number of appropriate things written. Talking about worms, by the way, anyone who has been fishing knows that they are a favored delicacy, and anyone who composts will have no shortage of them. Since worms are mostly vegetarians, and many of us eat meat, it may have been a bit difficult to properly compost greasy, meaty, bony food wastes. That's where black soldier flies come in, whose larvae are also frequently mentioned for fish food. I still need to try growing those guys. As for green plants for the fish, duckweed makes also good fish feed, again something I have no experience with. What I do know, though, is spirulina, which is also super rich in nutrients, and I would be surprised if the fish didn't like it. So I can see throwing some composting worms, black soldier fly larvae, and spirulina into a blender, to make some great nutritious fish food. At the moment this is very theoretical for me, though.

image source

Don't Give Up the Soil Completely

So does this mean we should all focus on setting up our most sustainable fish-plant-compost combo cycles? Hells yeah! But please not at the expense of everything else! Soilless gardening, as exciting and revolutionary as it may sound, is still that: without soil. And let's face it: neither us, nor our beans and tomatoes, have evolved to live entirely without soil. That just seems wrong. Even in a small urban apartment it's worth having a bit of soil on your roof, balcony, or window sill, where you can dig your hands into a world of healthy microbial diversity on occasion. And if you do have the space, by all means, set up a pond, a dam, or another aquatic ecosystem, where fish, and frogs, and dragonflies, and numerous other species can live together without relying on our management. Apart from looking pretty, they will also provide food for us, that is nutritionally superior to anything industrially grown.

Friends help you move. Real friends help you move bodies. False friends dare you to develop a better engine management computer system when you’ve had a little bit too much to drink and start popping off again about Chrysler electronic feedback carburetor systems.

In this, our late era of internal-combustion gasoline engines, our demands are higher than ever. Emissions control, fuel economy, responsiveness, and raw power all have to be balanced intricately. Contrast this to the era of the late-70s, early-80s, where our greatest automakers were just starting to pull their mouths off of the carburetor teat.

Everyone knows that, when you’re making something, it’s hard to make something simple the first time. You have to make it way too complicated, and then, once you understand the problem, pare it down to its purest essence. As such, Chrysler and Ford and the others made these awful computer abominations that sat on top of a carburetor and used ridiculous amounts of intricate Rube Goldberg machinery and strong wishes in order to achieve negative fifty horsepower over the previous year’s engines. And that was before they bolted on the air pumps that were supposed to aerate the noxious exhaust, making it so you could finally see what colour the sky is in California. Consumers didn’t like it, but consumers didn’t really get a choice.

With all this in mind, it makes sense that my first attempt at electronic fuel injection would be terrible, and my braying asshole friends would be right in their repeated mockery of me when they think I’m not paying attention. That didn’t happen. Let me introduce you to the Seat Safety Switch Electronic Fuel Injection Solution. First, you take all the old injectors, computers, crank and cam angle sensors off the engine. You don’t need ‘em. Hell, you don’t really need all the spark plugs, either. That’s how good this is. Then, you drill a hole in the side of the intake and tap it for a nitrous jet. For my engine, that jet is about a 0.030″.

Here’s where the genius part is. Traditional computer systems have terrible throttle response. You do something, the computer looks it up in its little table, then it tells the injectors what to do after a bit of hesitation. Slow. Boring. Takes control away from you. Here’s the Seat Safety Switch solution: bring a garden sprayer into the cabin with you, one of the ones that you can pressurize. Fill it with nitrous oxide. Now, all you have to do is start the car, and pump really really fast depending on how fat you want your mixture to be. Think those old-timey cartoons where they pump the little train handles really fast. Of course, it helps if you’re using a late-1970s engine because otherwise you’ll melt the pistons right out of it, and that’s terrible for fuel economy.

In conclusion, the fuel economy is excellent (you don’t use gasoline,) the emissions are okay (state smog machines don’t expect flaming nitrous fireballs to be rolling out of your exhaust, and will pass them,) you can’t beat the responsiveness, and the power is okay. Really, I’ve mastered the art of fuel management, which is why I just got a job offer in my inbox from Chrysler. They like my style, and want me to take another whack at this whole Lean Burn system.

Defoamers in Wastewater Treatment - Mitigating Foam and Improving Processes

In the realm of wastewater treatment, foam can be a persistent nuisance, hindering efficiency and complicating operations.  From excessive foaming in aeration tanks to foam buildup in clarifiers and digesters, foam-related issues can lead to process disruptions, increased maintenance costs, and compromised treatment performance.  Fortunately, defoamers offer a practical solution for mitigating foam and improving processes in wastewater treatment plants.  In this comprehensive guide, we explore the role of defoamers in wastewater treatment, their benefits, and the different types available from leading manufacturers in India.

Understanding Foam Formation in Wastewater Treatment

Foam formation in wastewater treatment processes can occur due to various factors, including:

Organic Matter:  The presence of organic compounds in wastewater, such as proteins, fats, and surfactants, can contribute to foam formation by stabilizing air bubbles and increasing surface tension.

Microbial Activity:  Microorganisms present in wastewater can produce extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) that promote foam stability and persistence.

Mechanical Agitation:  Agitation caused by aeration, mixing, or pumping can introduce air into the wastewater, leading to foam formation.

Chemical Reactions:  Certain chemical reactions, such as the release of gases during anaerobic digestion, can result in foam generation.

The Role of Defoamers in Wastewater Treatment

Defoamers, also known as antifoaming agents, are chemical additives designed to disrupt foam formation and promote foam collapse in wastewater treatment processes.  By reducing surface tension and destabilizing foam bubbles, defoamers help prevent foam buildup and facilitate the smooth operation of treatment units.  Some common applications of defoamers in wastewater treatment include:

Papa, sir, your Sea Monkeys - I know they don't need much but I did some research and it said they'd need a bigger enclosure than a pickle jar. So I might have gotten you a small tank for them. It's intended for Betta fish but I thought it would be good, since you can attach a heater to it. And the aerator would fit too! - Brother Nico

@from-the-pinnacle

Sorprendente! Thank you very much, Fratello. I was thinking the same thing... The jar was a bit of a temporary solution.

I will let the babies grow in the jar for now. They are so fragile, even moving them to the jar was a risk. When they start getting bigger, I will put them in this. For now, I am keeping the jar in a window for warmth and giving it oxygen with a little pipette that came with the kit.

I have heard that not all of them will live— it's simply the law of numbers. I am doing the best I can, so I hope that most of them make it to adulthood. They are tough little creatures, I have been told, so I have faith they will be alright.

Did you get this just for me? You did not have to... This is very generous.

Transform Your Yard: The Ultimate Guide to Building a Serene Soaking Pond

The Power of a Soaking Pond

Imagine stepping into your backyard after a long, stressful day. Instead of the usual hustle and bustle, you're greeted by the gentle sound of water cascading over smooth rocks. The air is filled with the soothing scent of nature, and a sense of calm washes over you. This is the magic of a soaking pond—a sanctuary of serenity right in your own yard.

Where to Begin

Selecting the Perfect Spot

Before you grab your shovel and start digging, take some time to carefully choose the location for your soaking pond. Look for an area of your yard that receives partial shade to prevent excessive algae growth and maintain a comfortable water temperature. Additionally, consider the landscape and ensure that the spot you choose complements the overall aesthetics of your outdoor space.

Gathering Your Materials

Building a soaking pond requires a few essential materials, including a pond liner, rocks or gravel, a water pump, and aquatic plants. These elements not only create a beautiful visual but also contribute to the health and balance of your pond ecosystem. Be sure to invest in high-quality materials to ensure the longevity of your pond.

Building Your Soaking Pond

Digging the Foundation

Once you've chosen the perfect location and gathered your materials, it's time to start digging. Use a shovel or excavator to carefully excavate the area, creating a shallow basin for your pond. Aim for a depth of around 18 to 24 inches to ensure ample soaking space without the risk of water overflow.

Installing the Pond Liner

With your foundation dug, it's time to lay down the pond liner. This waterproof barrier will prevent leaks and ensure that your soaking pond retains water effectively. Take care to smooth out any wrinkles or folds in the liner to create a seamless surface.

Adding Natural Elements

Now comes the fun part—adding natural elements to enhance the beauty and functionality of your soaking pond. Start by arranging rocks or gravel along the edges of the pond to create a natural border. These elements not only provide visual interest but also serve as a habitat for beneficial bacteria and aquatic organisms.

Mushroom Tamale

Prep: 80 mins Cook: 2 hrs 15 mins Soak: 5 mins Total: 3 hrs 40 mins Yield: 24 tamales

Ingredients

For the Filling    1 pound large oyster mushrooms, or other flavorful mushrooms    1 tablespoon grapeseed oil, or olive oil, or other neutral vegetable oil    1/2 yellow onion, thinly sliced    1/2 teaspoon salt

For the Salsa    1/4 cup grapeseed oil, or olive oil, or other neutral vegetable oil    1 head garlic, cloves separated and peeled, divided    1 1/2 ounces (36 grams) dried guajillo peppers (about 5 peppers) or other dried peppers    1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds    1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns    1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds    4 whole cloves    1 cup hot water    1/4 cup apple cider vinegar    2 teaspoons sea salt or other high-quality salt    1/2 yellow onion, coarsely chopped

For the Masa    3 cups masa harina    1 tablespoon baking powder    1 tablespoon sea salt    1 cup grapeseed oil, or olive oil, or other neutral vegetable oil    3 to 4 cups vegetable stock, or water, divided    50 corn husks

Steps to Make It

Make the Filling    Clean the mushrooms. Tear or cut them into 1-inch-sized pieces.    Heat grapeseed oil in a large saucepan on medium heat. Add sliced onions and salt and cook until the onions are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add the mushrooms and continue cooking on medium-low heat until softened, about 5 minutes. If not using right away, store cooked mushrooms and onions in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Make the Sauce    Confit the garlic: In a small saucepan on medium-low heat, heat 1/4 cup grapeseed oil. Add half of the peeled garlic cloves. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cloves of garlic turn light golden brown, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat immediately and allow garlic to cool.    Stem and deseed the guajillo chiles. Hold the end of a chile with one hand, use a very sharp knife, and cut off the stem and calyx (the part that connects the stem to the chile). Pour out any remaining seeds. Set aside.    In another pan on medium-high heat, toast the dried peppers on each side until the skin darkens and their fragrance is released, about 1 1/2 minutes. Do this in batches if necessary to avoid crowding the pan.    Remove and add the chiles to a blender. Set aside.    Toast the coriander, black peppercorns, cumin seeds, and cloves in the same pan over medium heat until they release their fragrance, about 30 to 45 seconds. Remove spices from heat immediately and set aside in a small bowl to cool.    Add hot water, vinegar, and salt to the toasted chiles in the blender. This is an acidic saline solution that will soften the peppers. Cover with the lid and allow to steep until the chiles are soft, about 2 to 3 minutes.    Once the peppers are soft, add the toasted spices, the remaining garlic cloves, and the chopped onion, and blend until smooth. Slowly drizzle in the garlic confit (the garlic and the oil it cooked in) and continue to blend to create a smooth, emulsified base.    Pour half of the sauce and the mushrooms into a saucepan and cook over medium-low heat for about 5 to 6 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the filling to cool before using. If not using right away, store filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator.    Add the other half of the sauce to a saucepan and simmer over low heat for an additional 10 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, so it does not stick to the bottom. The longer the sauce cooks, the more fully developed the flavors will be. If not using right away, store sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Make the Dough    In a large bowl, mix together the masa harina, baking powder, and salt. Slowly drizzle the grapeseed oil into the flour, mixing with an electric mixer as you pour.    Do the same with the vegetable stock, whipping at a higher speed. Continue whipping until the dough is light and fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes. If it looks dry, add more vegetable stock. Whipping aerates the dough for a fluffy texture. Your consistency should feel smooth, thick, and creamy, like ricotta. Taste for seasoning. Store in an airtight container and refrigerate until ready for use.

Assemble and Cook the Tamales    Remove corn husks from the package and submerge all into a deep bowl of hot water. Soak until soft and pliable, about 5 minutes.    Working with 2 to 4 husks at a time, or 1 at a time, if you are a beginner, shake off excess water before laying the husk out onto a clean work surface area.    Take 2 or 3 of the husks, and tear them lengthwise, following the grain, into quarter-inch-thick strips. You will use these to tie the tamales together; or you can use kitchen twine. Set aside on a small plate.    Set out all of the components of the tamales in an assembly line: Husks, masa, filling, and shredded husks.    Spoon about 2 tablespoons of dough onto the center of each husk, about 1/2 inch away from the widest end. Top with a heaping tablespoons of filling in the center of the dough. If your husks are very narrow, use two overlapping husks.    Now you are ready to fold the tamales. Carefully bring the sides together to meet at the center, enclosing the filling.    Then, fold the narrow tip of the husk over the filled section. Take one of the husk strips and use it to tie the tamale together, crosswise. Set aside.    Set a steamer basket inside a large pot and pour water just until it reaches the basket. Bring the water to a simmer. Begin layering in the tamales, folded-end down. Cover with a lid and cook over medium heat. Steam for 45 minutes.    Once tamales are cooked, remove them from the pot and cool until they can be handled. Eat immediately, drizzled with the reserved salsa.

Warnings    After steaming the tamales, open lid slowly and carefully. The steam released can be hot enough to burn skin.    Take care to wash your hands thoroughly after handling chiles. Some people use gloves or wrap their hands in plastic bags to protect themselves. Oils from the chiles can irritate your eyes and nose if you handle chiles and then absentmindedly touch your face.    Be on guard when toasting the spices and peppers. It is a quick process and your ingredients may easily burn if you are not mindful.

Tips    Save the stems of your mushrooms to make an umami-rich vegetable stock in the future.    Take time to invest in high-quality ingredients for the best-tasting, and most nutrient-rich results.    We recommend Bob’s Red Mill masa harina, available at most grocery stores    Chiles, masa harina, and corn husks may be found in the International section of your grocery store, or at a Latin American market, or via Masienda.com.    We recommend buying spices from Diaspora Co. for the freshest flavors.

Recipe Variation    If mushrooms are not your thing, substitute beans, canned jackfruit, spaghetti squash, or butternut squash.    Make the tamales with banana leaves instead of corn husks. Trim the leaves to 8-inch squares. Use the same method to fold and then tie shut with kitchen string.

How to Store and Freeze    Store cooked and cooled tamales in an airtight container, or in a zip lock or vacuum-sealed bag in the refrigerator.    Keep tamales in the refrigerator for up to one week.    To reheat, steam in husks for 5 to 8 minutes; or reheat in the microwave for 3 to 5 minutes.    To freeze tamales, wrap individually in foil, then place in a freezer bag. They will keep for about a month.    Thaw frozen tamales overnight in the fridge and re-steam for 5 to 8 minutes. Or, skip thawing and re-steam for 15 minutes.

Make Ahead    The filling and sauce can be up to a month in advance if frozen. Simply defrost and reheat in microwave, then cool the filling enough to use.    The dough can be made a day in advance if you are using masa harina; in fact, the dough will be better hydrated if it sits for a day.    If you make the dough from fresh masa (rather than from masa harina) you will need to use it right away. Otherwise, the dough will begin to ferment.    Husks can be soaked in room-temperature water overnight instead of in hot water.
