Hi all. Can anyone tell me when the freshbynature website will b working. Read they are the nsw distributor for Byap
Cheers bills

The freshbynature website has been down for over a year I think. The business owner, John (Rupertofoz) isnt a member here anymore and no he isnt a distributor for BYAP systems.

That's great news!
No wonder there is no more hostility or misbehave on the forum!

Huh.... We'll see....

Rupert might have pushed peoples buttons, but i think he was a good resource for the community...

Yeah, he could be blunt, but he was always honest, I liked the guy

Here's where I firmly bite my tongue.....

Hahaha!

I'm on the "love side" for Rupe as well. Don't have the history that some of you old timers have, but he has benn nothing but a straight shooter and very helpful. I've never had an issue with blunt and direct people...being one myself. Sometimes, having "filters" is needed, but mostly it's from people who just don't like hearing the truth.lol Thinking of Jack Nicholson saying "You can't handle the truth!" as I write this.

Rupe, if you read this...a very non homo love.lol Sorry if I upset any LBGT folks. hetero and boring

I think a lot of us are Eb.

speaking of freshbynature and RoZ, etc... are BYAP ever going to stock NFT channels? are you guys ever going to open a shop in victoria? how goes the sale joel?

Who's Rupert??

Nup and nup...

We are concentrating on the simple side of things for the newbies, rather than having lots of possibilities for AP in stock. When most people come in here looking at systems and they're interested in starting, they have little idea of how things work. We've found that the simplest idea is the best, if you have too many options this only confuses people... Focus on the product we know works well..

And this works, we had someone come in a couple of days ago, they had a friend with one of our systems and now they wanted 2 systems installed, they loved their friends system, it worked well for them, they want a 2 bed and a 1 bed system.

NFT can be bought at all hydroponic shops for the DIY people...

Victoria, not likely, one shop is enough to manage at the moment...

The business sale has been on hold for a while, well not so much on hold, just not actively pursued and pushed. Faye retired to her garden a bit over 6 months ago (I'm sure she was planning on telling people here, hint, hint.. ), so my workload has increased a bit here at the shop. This is enough to keep me pretty busy and unless someone comes and makes me an offer , I don't really have the time to actively chase it at the moment.. Why you want to buy..?

Rupert isn't a member anymore! bummer, he always answered my questions and to the point liked that about him.. and the occasional blow out I read was funny... maybe I missed something but I certainly saw posts from some others who pushed buttons too and knew a fraction of what Rupert did
