I am currently doing Distance learning with ACS Distance Learning to learn more about the Chemistry of Aquaponics. I've owned and operated Wholesale greenhouses. Heirloom Tomato, Pepper, Scented geranium & carniverous plants where our specialty. I would like to switch over my operation to raise crawfish, golden perch & greens.

    Welcome Rose!

     

    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 left corner, “Start Here” section of the Home page.  You might also find the “Aquaponic Gardening Rules of Thumb” guidelines helpful.

     

    Please 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.

    Rose,

    I don't have a system going...yet! I attended a workshop last year and became interested. 

    I would recommend Ernest Rando as a (somewhat) local resource. He used to live in Chesterton. Is now in Illinois, but makes frequent trips back. I think he is a member on this site. If not, message me again and I'll send you his contact info privately.
