Can We Picnic at Home Alone? This is the solution during the pandemic
One of the blessings of the Corona Virus pandemic, among which we have time to stay at home for a long time, because the office is closed, employees can only work for home (WFH) like my experience yesterday. But finally we have plenty of time for other positive activities that can be done at home.
But staying at home for too long ends up being stressed and stuffy and bored, we need refreshment but we can't have a picnic, go to the beach, garden, park that we want.
Then how can we refresh and have a picnic at home? This is the problem
It turns out that the solution is to create a beautiful garden at home with makeshift equipment…
Finally, a plan was made to build an integrated fish pond where the water can be used to irrigate hydroponic plants and the used hydroponic water is channeled back into the fish pond we made and so on, so the water will flow back and forth using a small 12 watt pump, how do you do that?
We make a pond from tarpaulin, then make a hydroponic installation from a 3 inch paralon pipe that is perforated then drained by water from the fish pond below and the fish pond water is pumped back into the hydroponic installation..
This method will be effective because the fish pond water already contains good nutrients for hydroponic plant growth, after being pumped it flows to the hydroponic installation, on the other hand, the remaining flowing water irrigates plants that already contain these nutrients which are also very good for fish growth nutrition. This is very economical. because there is no need to buy nutrient solutions on the market only for fish pond needs and also no need to buy nutrients for hydroponic plant growth because they are mutually supplying nutrients....
And as a result, we have a tilapia fish pond that can be harvested and a hydroponic garden in the form of eggplant, mint and others. More than that, we can have a picnic in our own yard…without complaining about the pandemic season, we can't leave the house…more than that, it means we join and protect the earth by greening the environment itself as much as possible..(mohaba77)

Agree with you.
People started picking up new hobbies - gardening and baking were top choices for a lot of people.

It's crazy that I used to get excited with plants five years ago, but didn't pick up the hobby when the pandemic came. I guess I was busy buying necessities, specially the ones for my grandma.

A lot of people created gardens and some adopted a new pet and started a hobby of some type.
