Are you an aquaponic gardener already?
No
If so, what type of system? (pick all that apply)
I do not yet have one, but will in the next couple of months. I am researching different systems. I already have Friendly Aquaponics Micro System Manual and just ordered Murray Hallam's two videos.
Please tell us something else about yourself.
Believe it or not, I actually don't like gardening very much, but love growing plants and have always loved animals. Among other things, I am licensed falconer in the state of Louisiana, but not practicing at the moment. I am trying to retire and have a bunch of property for sale. I would like to be an Aquapon for hobby and to derive income. OK, so it's a pipe dream.

    Well once an Aquaponic system is set up, it is definitely easier than a "Garden" where you have to dig and weed and water and weed and get muddy shoes etc.

    I actually rather like gardening but the aquaponics keeps me happy too though once things are running well there is little to do so I still have the garden to keep me busy so I don't mess around too much changing the aquaponic systems.
