Please tell us something else about yourself.: I run a small automotive business and want to get out of the hazzard chemicals. My great uncle was a tomato farmer in Iowa, and now I want to get into farming as well. I want to go commerical, and make a living at farming. But most if all, I want to benefit our local food shelf with fresh veggies and fish.

Mainly, it's because of how busy we are, but also because Sylvia has proven herself to be extremely adversarial to us, sadly enough. Wish there were not so much ego involved in this tiny community, but there certainly seems to be. This is HER site, and I do not wish to tread upon her territory. Odd, since she and Murray attended our training in Florida (for no fee whatsoever), but whatever. And overall, the discussion on this site regarding Friendly Aquaponics is far from friendly. It's hard to want to hang out in a place where people are mean, and have lots of spare time to gossip....and I see no point whatsoever in responding to their attacks when there is far more important work to be done!

Much respect,

**Susanne**

Thanks for joining the Aquaponic Gardening community! I hope you find it a fun place to explore aquaponics. There is a real blend of experienced and new aquapons in this community, so please don’t hesitate to get in there and start asking questions. Everyone is quite happy to help out new members – no question is too basic.

A great place to start is to read the “How to Use This Site” link on the upper right corner, “Start Here” section of the Main page. You might also find the “Aquaponic Gardening Rules of Thumb” guidelines helpful, and given your thoughts about going commercial you might want to join the Commercial Aquaponics group (see tabs above).

Please add a profile image, participate and check in with us every day! We are constantly posting news about aquaponics and the good food movement.

Thanks again for joining us, and I look forward to getting to know you.

Sylvia
