Hello
We are very excited to be a part of this group.
In December 2014, we moved down to Anguilla to start our Aquaponic garden. The first of its kind here on the Island, we cant wait to showcase this project.
The garden is 30feet by 34 feet sitting on an arid piece of land overlooking the Caribbean Ocean. It has been designed to fit perfectly into the space right on the side of a cliff full of limestone rock. The garden is completely off grid and hosts 4 solar pannels and 1 wind turbine to power a 4000 gallon/ hr pump. We will be using volcanic rock in our garden and we will not be using any floating rafts in our growbeds.
The garden consists of 2 fish tanks, totaling 3000 gallons, 4 16X4 and 4 14X4 grow beds. we plan to grow a variet of veggies and fruits including dabbling in strawberrys, guatalupe melon and kiwi. Although this is our first attempt I am sure we will quickly learn what grows well and what doesnt work out so well.
We look forward to hearing your suggestions as we post our progress.
Talk soon!
Tom and Molly
