Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

I'm not sure how the rest of your spouses feel about your AP obsession, but my wife has been very encouraging.

At first I was a bit apprehensive about the cost, and when I expected her to put the brakes on, she gladly approved the budget.

Her attitude appears to be that my involvement in my system will give her more time to do the things SHE wants to do. She has even offered to feed the fish (lightly) when I'm out of town.

I always struggled to get her to help me when we were growing our veggies in soil, and she grumbled and complained continuously. I don't know what the problem was, but I can honestly say that AP has greatly improved our relationship. She isn't getting as much exercise, so she has got a bit chubby, but hey, at least she has the energy now to keep the beers coming.

Anyway, thanks guys, AP has changed our lives.

Not Fair Synapto...
This belongs in the funny pictures thread... I had no warning, now my boss wants to know what was so damned funny that I should laugh out loud!
Grrrr :-)

my wife , she died in the field , from too much work .
Its alright , i have new wife , she's VERY NIIIIICE

sorry , couldnt resist

synappy that is a brave statement to make!
I would not even attempt to make such a bold comment if
I wished the tinnies to keep arriving without crushed glass or arsenic
included!!

C1 You get tinnies BROUGHT to you?

i think its a generation thing KP mine dont bring me tinnies ( not that i love her any less ) she will let me pour her a glass of wine though

It helps being an old fart eh Del!
More just a matter of training me thinks

Your going to DIE if she reads that!

That is however one of the funniest photos I've ever seen!

It won't be HER that dies if she reads it...

Well we won't tell her, will we???

I agree with what you're saying S-man. A tip I'd give any budding young AP'er is that if you can win over your spouse, it will be easier to get the permission + money needed to extend or build your next system. (I still can't convince her to convert the swimming pool but I'm working on it).

I won my spouse over! She loves fresh food and not that she has had a taste of tilapia she very supportive. She is even willing to help out. I never could get her to pull the plow.

I'm gonna tell Beej!!!!

now all i need is tips on how to convert the husband!!!

Well that would be telling Ali...
Perhaps lead by example???
Mmm... but not for too long it might be habit forming!LOL

J Beej is very happy today could I ask you tell her soon?
