A place to discuss aquaponics

i have started a thread with pictures of one of my systems.

Thanks for the warm welcome back guyses!

Gemmell: Sledgehammer strapped to your back, Conan-esque, would be very.. uhh.. interesting, to say the least!

Urbanaquaman (can i call you UAM?), I've PMd you

i thought gemmell was trying to emulate earthbounds avatar! BAM BAM!

Urbanaquaman i also have PMd you.

pah70 - can you point me to your new thread - thanks

underr member systems, pah70 system.

So, we're set for a meeting then, eh? Looking forward to it. Hope you other 2 can make it too..

im there!

You guys having a meeting? Can it be announced here for others, or is it a bit of a private deal? There may be a few keen Canberra people lurking here...

I'm there! Make it public, we'll just get everyone there and have a chat. Maybe if we did it at someones house or looked at a system that is established we'd have something to talk about. Mines not going yet (soon!).

High folks,
Yep - it is at my home address in Belconnen at 3pm today - people need to PM me for details if they wish to attend and bring a plate (nibbles etc).
My home systems are not operating - Tanks etc are still in situ however- but heaps to talk about and will be doing a slide show session and Q&A on our whole project which now in addition to the aquaponic operation also includes a small free range poultry farm and rentachook service, apiairy (bee business) - biodynamic raised bed vegetable production unit and snail farming enterprise all as part of an integrated urban farming model.
5 members of the project team will be in attendance as well as three so far confirmed list members - I will limit this meeting to 12 so first in best dressed. Next meeting may be held at the farm site in six to eight weeks if interest is large.

Have an interesting day folks... and yes Urbanaquaman, please keep all informed as to the farm site visit....

I'd like to come across for that one and have a look around

Don't forget the obligatory pic of members attending - we live for pics

Doh!! I missed it. I was busy all Sunday anyway so I wouldn't have been able to make it. Next time a bit more lead time would be nice so I can schedule it in.

Lead time?! What kind of crazy idea is that?

It was good to meet UAM & pah, as well as the other people in UAM's business team. I'm keen to be involved, even if just at a 'work hand' level.. Obviously, because it's quite a large scale 'thing', there's going to be quite a bit of flux.. nothing wrong with flux, only when it become reflux. ( Oh, i'm such a wit!!)

No piccies were taken & i didn't get the late message on bringing food, sorries! Next time, eh?!
