Dear Aquaponic Friends,
I am so happy to say I have joined the ranks of those who have begun this exciting journey of aquaponics! My husband and I heard about aquaponics from our Brother-in-law, who has begun and runs a fish hatchery along with doing consulting for other companies. He told us about how he had done some consulting for a company who were going to market a home aquaponic system in the U.S.A. My husband said to him, "Don't tell my wife about this, she will jump right on it!" Well, he did anyway, like any good Brother-in-law and I did go nuts! I love the whole idea of growing food let alone in such a cool way! I couldn't read enough about it which led me to BYAP and the wonderful downloadable guide on IBC aquaponics. We set up the system this weekend in our courtyard so it is just a baby but I look forward to many years of doing this!
If I can figure out how to add a picture, you will see I cut it wrong, that was our first and biggest mistake so far! Haha! But we jimmied with it and got it working anyway.
Your Friend,
Pioneer Lady
