Please tell us something else about yourself.: I have just been introduced to aquaponics and I am already addicted. I have been an organic farmer for twenty years. I love all things relating to sustainability.

Hmm, for beginner books, well, Murray Hallam has great dvd's and Sylvia Bernstein, this site's creator, has an awesome book coming out this September. When you are ready to start considering some commercial training, I could probably make a suggestion or two there! ;)

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 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.

Normally Sylvia Bernstein, the community's founder, would be welcoming you, but she is enjoying a well deserved vacation and I am helping out by welcoming new members in her absence. I am certain she would be excited to have you join and she will be looking forward to getting to know you upon her return. Thanks again for joining us, and I too look forward to getting to know you too. See you around the site!
