Hello all,
My name's Kyle, and I've been bitten by the AP bug. (I think that's the first step)
I've been reading and watching all I can find on this amazing endeavor. I want to be a part of it.
Haven't purchased anything, but drawing up all kinds of plans and ideas. The bad thing is, I keep finding something that seems would work better, so I re-design my layout. Figured I'd rather do it right the first time.
I live just outside of Brunswick, GA, and would love to eventually meet up with others nearby to learn even more. And, of course, once I get something set up, I'd welcome visitors as well. (Anyone want to offer up the first invite?) lol
The current incarnation of my design includes:
1000 gal tank - http://www.plastic-mart.com/product/520 ... -op1060-86
Grow beds - http://www.tractorsupply.com/en/store/g ... er-10-ft-l
(not sure how many I'll start with)
Sump Tanks - Haven't decided on this yet, but I believe it should be large enough to hold all the drained water from the grow beds ???
Of course, nothing is set in stone, and I may change one or more items over the course of the design.
I plan on using one pump from the sump to FT with gravity feed from FT to GB's. I don't have all the particulars planned yet, still in design phase, but I'm getting anxious to get started.
I would also like to eventually construct a hoop house over everything. Thinking 20'-30' wide by about 75'-100'. Of course, it won't start out this big, as I plan a small start up with the ability to expand. Go big or go home, right?
Whew, that should be good for an intro that probably won't see a lot of attention. Once I begin the actual construction, I'll be taking my share of photos and sharing my experiences here.
Thanks for a great forum, and looking forward to reading any and all comments. Hope to make some great contacts and friends here.
Kyle
