Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Hi guys and Girls , i have been thinking about doing an Aquaponics system for a few years but have never been able to convince SWMBO that it is a good idea , we have moved into a house that no dirt has ever had an ounce of organic matter or nutrient in it , and water is so expensive , this summer i have tried toms and chillies in various containers and have used way to much water just to keep them alive , i just scored an ibc for some chillies , have the "if you grow what we eat and it doesnt cost a fortune " go ahead from Swmbo so i will now read the mountain of info on here and hopefully get a system running well enough to prove to her it was worth it , look forward to learning heaps

Welcome to the forum Buddha. If you haven't checked out the IBC's of Aquaponics, it's a good read and might give you some ideas. The link is at the top of the page but I've put it here as well -
