We are going to be up in the Denver area in the Beginning of April, we were hoping to visit some working AP systems. Is anyone open to sharing what they have going??
We live down in the Durango area, and don't have anyone here locally that is currently doing a AP system. We have a farm, and I would really like to have this become a major part of our farming project.

Awesome, Tawnya. Thanks!

I'll send them the request and let you know what they say.

I'm thinking we will have better luck getting folks involve if it is on a weekend. Would you be up for checking with the Westenhavers on their willingness to do this, and see what Saturdays in January work might for them? Then we can broadcast a message out to see who is interested and what days work best. I'm excited!

You're right. We both have pretty packed January schedules, but could possibly make a weekend or monday work throughout the month. Otherwise Feb is a little more open for us. Let's see what other's have to say about wanting to go and obviously we will have to find out what is good for the Westenhavers.

thanks, Tawnya! I these were probably the folks you were talking about. I'm wondering if Dec. might be too ambitious given the holidays. How about January?

We visited them in May and there facility and UVI style systems are WONDERFUL. We exchange email with Ken Westenhaver, his son Matt and Marcia every so often. I would love to see the place in full production and would be more than happy to coordinate a visit sometime in Dec.

Did you guys see the new commercial AP setup in Ft. Collins? Anyone want to try and organize a tour? http://www.quatrix.us/Home_Page.html

Linda, what kind of water tank is it? An IBC tote? Here is a link to Travis Hughey's barrelponics manual that might be helpful - http://www.fastonline.org/content/view/15/29
