As part of this process, I am creating a document-based case study for my students to complete which requires "documents" (text, email, web sites, etc) from which students must glean relevant information and make decisions. I was wondering if you could provide me with a sort of "pro's" and "con's" list comparing tilapia, bluegill, catfish, yellow perch, walleye, and trout for this type of culture. This is the choice I plan to give them in the case study, so please make any comparisons you feel are relevant!.</p> Unusual produce growntag:aquaponicgardening.ning.com,2013-03-13:4778851:Topic:4491682013-03-13T19:12:53.941ZGary Phttps://aquaponicgardening.ning.com/profile/GaryP
<p>Hello everyone,</p>
<p>Anyone grow something unusual/not traditional in their AP set ups? As in, "Wow! I can't believe that actually grew!" What have you grown and what type of set up was it in? (Personally, I'm interested in lemon grass, ginger and rhubarb in my grow beds and maybe a patio sized citrus tree or two.) (You know, something fun to mix in the usual veggie assortment). Below is a borrowed pic from Affnan's AP showing his lemongrass. …</p>

<p>I am looking to see if there are any AP people in southern Missouri that are members of this group. I am just getting started, and have questions about our growing weather, how and what kind of fish you grow, what veggies do you grow, how do you deal with the temp swings in our area, and a bunch more. I do hope to be able to add something to this group. </p>

<p>Hi midwesterners! </p>

<p> I'm in Wisconsin looking for ideas to develop a system in our small barn. I'm afraid the cold and dark of winter will keep us from proceeding year-round.

<p> I'm in Wisconsin looking for ideas to develop a system in our small barn. I'm afraid the cold and dark of winter will keep us from proceeding year-round. I noticed that some cold water systems are using bluegills. I'm also interested in yellow perch, or other species of cold water fish or shellfish and wonder what your experience has been. I just don't think I can keep our outbuilding warmer than 55 degrees without breaking the energy bank. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Does artificial lighting provide some heat to help warm things up? Other than lettuces and greens, any other cold weather crops work out for you? Will be doing media beds with purhaps DWC if we expand to commercial.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Has anyone made use of geo-thermal? I've seen it at Growing Power with sunking fish troughs. Also, solar water heating , which I've heard could be fairly efficient even up here in the cold.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Would appreciate any comments.</p>

<p>My name is Elyse and I am a student at Allegheny College in Pennsylvania - I have done a lot of research on aquaponics and even worked on a system that was very successful. My job this summer is to continue my research with market analysis and commercial aquaponics systems. I am going on a road trip throughout the Midwest and I am in need of some help for locations to stop. I am looking for successful aquaponics commercial companies to take guided tours and talk with the people there about their innovations as well as how they got started and other questions along those lines. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>So far my destinations include: Sweet Water Organic, (Milwaukee, WI), Growing Power (Milwaukee, WI) and The Plant (Chicago, IL). I am considering stoping at Nelson Pade, but that is to be decided by my Professor. Please let me know if you have any suggestions!! Thanks!</p>

<pre>My apologies! I intended to start a discussion but originally sent it as an e-mail.<br/><br/>While researching AP I find myself longing for constant sunshine! I am wondering if AP is really <br/>sustainable in the midwest and financially feasable. I am working on setting up a small basement <br/>system to get started.

Im going to need to order my first batch of fish in about a month. Im am growing to grow tilapia. Where have yall been ordering your fish from? Im interested to see the sources out there; it doesnt have to be just tilapia, it can be any type of fish.
