Please tell us something else about yourself.: My wife and I live in Tomball, TX. just north of Houston. We recently decided to start growing some of our own food. We've got nothing more than a raised bed and some potted tomatoes at this point and bugs are getting more enjoyment out of the tomatoes than we are. I was researching gardening techniques, came across worm farming and worm tea, and eventually aquaponics. We're pretty excited about both the ideas and are eager to start. In fact we're so eager, we're about half ready to go commercial already, but we haven't quite lost our minds yet, so I'll be going to work in the morning. I'm enjoying the book thus far. Started reading it yesterday and I'm about halfway through it. Very informative and well put together. I just hope our homeowners organization doesn't take our legs out from under us before we get rolling, or we're going to have to look into getting a small piece of land somewhere and I'd rather not do that.

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 Home page. You might also find the “Aquaponic Gardening Rules of Thumb” guidelines helpful.

Please 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.
