Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Hi

I am new to this forum & this is my first post.

We are building a new home & want to incorporate a highly productive garden which will include an aquaponics system.

If there's a consultant in the Newcastle area who can help us get started we'd love to use your services.

Thanks

Amanda

Welcome and sincere good luck with the project..

I would suggest that seeing is believing and understanding..

YOU know your yard and what you want.. so do you want a highly ornamental "Pond" system or a proper Aquaponics System

Check out threads under member systems and you may get some ideas..

There is just so much material available, but I think that you need to INPUT what you aspire to to start with..

Were I starting again, with an empty yard, then I would go for ornamental fish like KOI, and make that a closed system, where all the solids were collected and these were (ultimately) used in a hydroponic/wicking crop system.. IMHO

and PS - http://aquaponics.net.au/master-classes.html
you can PAY and do a formal course like this one and get a good grounding in AP and then understand WHY things may be better done another way..
