Please tell us something else about yourself.
I've experimented with aquaponics for the past 4 years. The systems that I feature here are the most successful I have been with this marvelous way of farming. My projects usually involve cost effective methods as I search for the lowest cost way of getting a workable system together. I strive for more attractive presentations, but often fail in that regard as my hillbilly roots begin to show themselves. For instance, the current ponds are to be a celebration of duct tape!
