We're launching our Fish Garden aquaponics showcase in Lithonia area this month. It's a place for people to find out what aquaponics is about and what is possible. Our first was launched at a hotel in downtown Shanghai in October. I have not been keeping up with the local aquaponics community, other than what Greg is doing and Chris Cadle up in Canton. But the Fish Garden is something like a science museum/presentation forum, featuring some of our design and material innovations. I look forward to hearing from y'all.

I am debating weather to let the walls down on my greenhouse. I might just let it all winter over for the  year. It was a lousy growing season this year with all the rain and overcast skies. It certainly taught us a very valuable lesson in terms of wanting to go commercial. Just imagine how many accounts I would have lost had I signed onto 3 or 4 local restaurants! something to really consider. I think we will stick with the local farmers markets so were non committed to any restaurants. :-)

I'm going. I've been to a couple workshops there for aquaculture  I expect a lot of good information will be presented.

Hi All,
Is anyone going to the workshop?

Hi Chuck,

I do not know Joel.  You might like to join Gina's group Green Acreas Farm they do commercial Aqua Farming.  There is also a group dedicated to commercial Aquaponics.  They may have more answers for you.  Glad to hear from a another GA gardener.

Hi all, I'm in N.Augusta and am researching a commercial venture into aquaponics although have not convinced myself that its feasible as opposed to hydroponics. Glad to find you guys close by. BTW anyone know what happened to the Joel Townsend operation up in Knoxville area?

Hi Charles, thank you for the welcome! I was just looking at going with the steel conduit and bending it. I think that will be a better option for us. I'll definitely look at Johnnys Seeds.

 Johnnys Seeds site on the internet has some great videos on building high tunnel and low tunnel greenhouses. They sell pipe benders for ribs and show how to build simple greenhouses with conduit. The benders were pretty reasonable.  They also have a wide variety of hierloom and open pollinated seeds.
