Hello people! Aquaponics hey. well its week 1 of a new interest and im very impressed by the wealth of accumulated info here, and on other fora Im living in a shoebox in Townsville, but hope to get a proper backyard in the next 6 months till then ill be assembling the components about my experience thus far I studied the diploma of aquaculture at central west college of Tafe back in 1996-1998. working with some recirc systems, some pond systems and a seacage the biggest problem with aquaculture in WA and the rest of the country is lack of water and secondly but as severe- bureaucracy lesser pronlems that seem to be sorted now are the avilability of feed, fingerlings esp of new species like the barcoo grunter, BSF etc etc seems i was 10 years too early. im enamored by this AP model. small modular unlicense backyard/private systems re-using water and solving multiple problems for our society all at once such as; a new industry with new jobs increasing scientific literacy amongs the adult population making cheaper fresh fish and vegetables making them more convenient for our population to eat systems that the elderly and infirm can run, and even gain some income from produce that is BETTER than organic, because you can even use derris or pyrethrum on them! im very excited about the prospect of people having backyard systems and bartering/selling over the back fence. Microeconomies that circulate money instead of us all flushing 100 dollar bills out to sea and offshore by shopping at supermarkets. so ive orderd a book and a dvd ill have to spend a bit of time UTSE and reading but there are a few things i can contribute on immediatley good to be here thanks to all the people whove built up this great resource |

You can be charged for being drunk in charge of a bicycle.. or a horse for that matter... Mind you... it's a lot harder to ride a bike when you're pissed... |
