    Welcome Brian,

    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 add a profile image, participate and check in with us every day!  We are constantly posting news about aquaponics and the good food movement.


    Thanks again for joining us, and I look forward to getting to know you.

    I am a aquaponic researcher and system developer in South Africa.  I am very interested in community-based application for AP, but have had little success in getting the South African government here committed to funding anything as yet.  I'm more than willing to help with your work if you are interested.

    Hi Brian,

     

    I will definately come and visit. I am in Guinea at the moment and will shortly visit Burkina. I will probably be in Abuja early December.

     

    It looks like an interesting project that you are busy with. Who is funding it?

    What is the annual rainfall in Jos? I once travelled from Jos to Kaduna and was amazed to see the beautiful countryside. It seems to me that one can almost farm with anything in that region without having to worry too much about droughts. I might be wrong and maybe it was just the right time of year.
