Hello all Aquaponaholics,

I live in central South Carolina (Columbia) and have been reading the forum for about a year now. I live,eat and breath this stuff. My Girlfriend and I are trying to find a couple of acres to do AP and have a edible yard consisting of fruit trees, nut trees and many fruiting vines. I have read about every thing on this site. I feel like I know most of you allready.

When I saw a catalogue from Jaderloon Greenhouse with CountryBoy in it, and saw him here, just thought what a small world. And when I saw BigWorm from South Carolina sign on, I thought it was about time to log in and say hello to all my new buddies.

Anyway we are planning a 30ft greenhouse for our AP system. I plan on a CHIFT PIST system. FT and GB size to be determined as I want to start small enough to gry up and running but with room to expand. We are planning on doing a trip around South Carolina ina few months to see other peoples AP systems to get ideas while we are on the way to Georgia to get our Fruit and nut trees for our property. I would like to see CountryBoys setup and how Big Worm is doing, then off to see Travis Hulglys F.A.ST. AP system.

I will still have questions now and then so please bear with me and I will still participating on the forum, this place is like my new home "GROUP HUG"!

Sustainability IS our FUTURE!

You guys rock! :headbang:

Buddy

All joking aside, let me know when you are in this area and I'll show you what I have and where I am going with it.

Warning: AP systems are never complete. One system will lead to more systems, better, bigger, different, etc...
