    Hi Michelle,

    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 by checking out the forums, blogs and groups - I see you have already found the vertical growers. If you are interested in a forum or blog topic, but don’t want to join in right away, just check the “follow” box to be notified whenever there is activity on that subject.

    We have just one rule: keep it cordial (no flaming!).

    Thanks again for joining us, and I look forward to getting to know you. Also, you might want to look up Nate Storey who got his masters in vertical growing and has a cool product he is about to start selling for vertical gardening.

    Sylvia
