Im a 4H advisor and teach folks about the benefits of keeping backyard poultry. Also the founder of Southwestern Ohio Backyard poultry. I'm an urban farmer raising meat chickens layers ,quail and rabbits along with raised beds and regular good old dirt farming. I'm in the process of trying to get an aquaponic system started at my kids school they have a nice green house that hasn't been used for 10 years and is in need of some help but working on that now. My goal is to have one 750 gal tank with perch and several grow beds to get started. Since I have to fund this project myself its going to take a little while to get it going but I see it happening this year.

    Welcome Nick,

     

    Thanks for joining the Aquaponic Gardening community!  I hope you find it a fun place to explore aquaponics.  There is a real blend of experienced and new aquapons in this community, so please don’t hesitate to get in there and start asking questions.  Everyone is quite happy to help out new members – no question is too basic. 

     

    A great place to start is to read the “How to Use This Site” link on the upper right corner, “Start Here” section of the Main page.  You might also find the “Aquaponic Gardening Rules of Thumb” guidelines helpful.

     

    Please participate and check in with us every day!  Weare constantly posting news about aquaponics and the good food movement.

     

    Thanks again for joining us, and I look forward to gettingto know you and hearing about the progress on your school project.  Many of us think there are true synergies between backyard chickens and raising fish through aquaponics.
