Thank you! I just got a call back from Doug, the local distributor (Colorado Lining) for Raven Industries; the minimum he can order is 50 linear feet 6' wide, for $388,00 (plus shipping). That's about twice what I need, but at least it's not thousands time what I need -- but I'd love to know if you can help me for cheaper . . . .
On another note, have you heard anything from the Friendly Aquaponics people lately? Are they all ok?
:)

Thank you Michelle. My wife gets all the credit for the site. She spent many hours learning how to design a page and putting it all together. I spend all my time working on the systems!

Aloha Rafters. I hope the new year is starting out well for all of you. I must apologize for lack of participation for the last month or so. My farm and business are growing faster than I can keep up with. I have just finished with some major projects and will have more time for this forum.

One inch foam might be a little weak when loaded with mature plants. I use 2" net pots and they are 2" deep as well as 2" in diameter. The bottom of the net pot just touches the water with 2" foam. With 1" foam half of the pot would be submerged. Give it a try and see how it works. If the foam is too weak or you have other issues you can always double up the sheets.

Chris, . I located a 1inch Dow Blue board at a very good price. Will this thickness work, or is the 2 inch needed for plant health as well as ease of handling.Paul

I too am in the process of designing either a web site or a Word Press forum type web presence as well as a Facebook page. Your web presence is really informative and one that I will refer to in my design :-)
Well done once again ;-)
