A quick hello,
Having eye'd off the aquaponics system's at the Royal Show for the last couple of years, my partner has decided that for my big birthday this year that he's actually giving me a system (one from the suburban farmer). Just a 1500L tank and one grow bed at the moment, but definitely room for expansion.
So now I'm trying to learn all I can as fast as I can before it actually arrives! I've kept a variety of fish tanks over the year (including my fav- which was a 2m long marine tank). Now no fish, but we've been making moves towards self sufficiency and have chickens, Jap quails, a worm bath and a nice solar system on the roof. We've also planted quite a few fruit tree's which are now starting to bare fruit (hmm at this point I should probably mention that our suburban block is only around 750m2 - so I'm running out of room to expand)
Anyway, looking forward to getting started. The anticipation will probably kill me, and I expect I'll have many frustration's along the way. But it is a lovely present

Mike already provides us with organic chicken feed. If I was down the southern side I'd be heading into BYAP. But being on the northern side, and unfortunately having two special needs kids + working part time, well I always seem to run out of time. So being able to get things delivered was pretty much our reason for going with Mike. Well that and he's a nice guy lol.
