Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

I am New to Aquaponics, although I have been researching as much as possible for the last 3 years, I bought myself 40 odd acres 3 years ago in the hope of dedicating at least a couple of acres to setting up business in Aquaponics and some sustainable farming practices, 3 years later and I have finally convinced the Missus that my Job of working away really, really, really SUX, but as I am not prepared to fork out hundreds of thousands of dollars to do this so I am going to set up a small one at home first, Iron out some bugs etc, I started the work on the side of the house today, I have a long way to go yet, I have cut down some invasive trees, now for some levelling, etc, am ordering my fish (Jade Perch) and some Yabbies tomorrow, have got an IBC and blue barrels to start me off, long way to go but the sooner I get started the sooner I can send my boss a nice song.
