Greetings Everyone,
Introducing myself, straight out i think ive always disliked gardening in general - until i heard about AP at the grain and fodder store one day. the symbiosis of the fish and produce got me interested and the fact that my daughter has shown a keen interest in growing strawberries and my mother in law loves fish
Im a rigger and tech guy so i love building things and tinkering. id like one day to have the system im building with pretty graphs to monitor and fish to eat!
I currently got a hole filled with two IBC's and a frame over the top to support the grow beds and walk around it completely. Ive since added a bench to the space behind the shed to hold up to 7 tubs for strawberries and herbs, with the bulk of the greens to go in the main 4 beds.
We would like to eventually grow some trout/silver perch with the plan to add some marron in separate tubs at a later date. If i can get the wife on board - and she is providing it doesn't look like a failed science experiment then i might be able to expand further
Currently we have the infrastructure complete and the next phases are:
Irrigation (pipe sizes? in/out)
Design of biofilter
Data monitoring (temps/pH)
Air pump (air rocks?)
Rocks and growing media
Goldfish to cycle
could be some other stuff im missing in there, its all a learning curve
-Nathan
