<i>Aquaponics Secrets - The DVD - Companion to Aquaponics Made Easy<br />
</i><br />
<br />
The DVD is in PAL Australian/Pacific format and would not play in my DVD players. It does play on my PC. You can convert to North American format if you have the necessary software but I wouldn't call it a simple process. That being said, I enjoyed the DVD - Murray entertains and informs, as usual.

Michael, thanks for the reviews... I really enjoyed the background info and who it works well for (newbie, experienced, etc).<br />
<br />
I'm reading Ecological Aquaculture, a Sustainable Solution by Laurance Hutchinson, 2006. pp 136, British author.<br />
<br />
I'm finding that this book is a good primer for developing a land based system that recreates a healthy ecological system. It's written for the layman but packed with good information which will be useful. I can see that it builds a basis of understanding…

I'm finding that this book is a good primer for developing a land based system that recreates a healthy ecological system. It's written for the layman but packed with good information which will be useful. I can see that it builds a basis of understanding that will transfer well to aqua-ponics. He covers the micro-organisms that flourish in a functioning system and builds on that. While not dealing with the specifics of how to setup an aqua-ponic's system... the material he covers will enhance such a system.<br />
<br />
I was able to order the book on Amazon, Ecological Aquaculture: A Sustainable Solution by Laurence Hutchinson (Hardcover - Jun 30, 2006) & got it quickly.... $102.40. While pricy it's not as expensive as some, and yet it is very readable and useful.<br />

My Review: Olomana Gardens do a lot of Permaculture with many kinds of animals and worms. The DVD is a good watch but not that informative for Aquaponics. I would recommend it as there are lots of tidbits of good tips to stir the imagination on what can be done. Well produced and great photos.<br />

My Review: I just got this DVD a week or so ago. One of the best I have. Very informative on many of the aspects of commercial systems. Maintenance tips - Backup systems. Once again very professionally produced and some good animations. Well worth the money.
