Decided to harvest some of the fish today. We took out around 60-70 and invited some friends around to help us catch them. The kids had a ball.

I had the good fortune to stumble across a fellow blogger who is a photographer. He and his family came out and spent a few hours with us looking at the system. We hooked a few trout and he took some AMAZING photos.

See the blog post here. http://daybookexchange.com/2010/12/13/urban-oasis-aquaponics/

I've seen an old Weber lid on top of a old 220 litre drum, just Google "ugly drum smoker".

I blame the crap weather we have had the last 6 months.
