Good Luck Stuart, and Thanks for all your help!

It's all good.

Just that Don quixote was kind of mad

Oh sorry. I always thought he was fighting a good fight, but then again it was decades ago that I read it

Ummmmm... Aren't you leaving yourself kinda open with that statement Stuart???

Boss is the one that compared me to a crazy guy tilting at wind mills on a donkey.

An update on how things are going.

Short version is not well.

I've got two groups of investors courting me to be part of their projects but they are not making me a solid offer yet. They might run away if they see the link below.

Wow, Stuart... That is quite the heavy load. I hope one of your ventures becomes successful soon and even more so that your little one gets better as quickly as possible. We went through a tough time with a little one that had a bad heart, but after 4 years of in and out of hospitals, sometimes for months at a time, we finally caught a lucky break and got things fixed as best they could be. If I could share some of our luck and strength with you, it's yours.

Thanks Nosliwmas.

I guess you know then what its like.

I'd really really appreciate you sharing the link around.

At the moment a few friends and family are contributing I really need it to hit a wider audience so that the number of people subscribing gets larger (people not so much dollars).

Ok haven't been back in a while because things have been crazy.

So what have I been upto?

Well I have had to move house (sorry I didn't return your call FF). So I am now system less. After having the gravel in my 1m deep beds for 8+ years below the surface and especially towards the bottom it was nearly CLEAN. Which was pretty amazing considering the loading I'd been giving it.

Now in Bendigo but don't know for how long.

Started a Patreon page to try and build some grass roots support which you can find here:

I'm currently talking a bunch of investors again but as always until the money is in the bank and sometimes not even then its all promises.

I have been doing some consulting work which has basically come about because I've started saying to investors "Sure I can do that for you it will cost this much".

My latest project to build support for Fish Farmers, Hedgerow Farm and the Patreon campaign is the Timber Framed Press Project. You can find that on my You Tube Channel the latest video of which you can find here:





Talk soon.

Phew I was beginning to think you had fallen off the perch HA HA
I hope you and family are well
Keep up with the dream it will happen
Cheers FF

Kind of did for a bit.

But we are putting things back together again.

I've been in aquaponics for 5 years. It's been an adventure. A good adventure at that, but I can not grow any thing to really talk about. Some of the pictures that are displayed by some members are remarkable. As far as I know, my fish are healthy and happy. I use clay pellets for my media. I use mail-order seeds. If I'm reading my water test strips correctly, the water should be fine. In testing water would it be best to be on the high side of these readings rather than the low end?

I would certainly appreciate any help you have to offer. If you are confident in a particular product please let me know.

Thank you for your time. I am: Gil Jones, alevee1778@gmail.com Southeast Louisiana
