Any time you want to discuss peppers.  I am new to Aquaponics, but have a background in aquaculture and fish and wildlife management.  Just recently started bottling our own hot pepper products and I have been growing hot peppers most of my life.  Always good to share tips and stories with others.

Hey Bobby, good to hear from you. I have used several different types of rabbit food, most made from alfalfa and Timothy hay, an somewhat local. I've never positively got an answer about pesticides or fertilizers, but my inlaws who grow hay nearby simply plant and harvest. Get the regular pellets, not the "gourmet" loose stuff with dried fruit and such.

Hi Bobby,

Thanks for friending me!

My project is coming along. It is something I'm doing on the side and is not a commercial operation, but it is the biggest backyard setup I have seen.

Here is a link to some photos if you would like to see it: http://homesteadaquaponics.com/pictures.php


Thanks,

Josiah
