We read a comment that you made to Jeff G. about fish for his aquaponics system and you mentioned getting 70 lbs of tomatoes. Are your barrel and fish tank in a greenhouse? We are having trouble getting more than a couple tomatoes.
Linda, do you have the email address for your friends whose farm we visited before the meeting? Could you send it to me in a private message? Some of the photos I took turned out well and I'd like to share them with them (could you tell me their names again too?). They were so great and I enjoyed seeing all their happy animals. I'm want to put the pictures up on my blog, but I'd like to get the woman's permission to put photos of her up (I think the photos of the animals are ok for now!).
It would be great to make a plan to go distillery tasting! I would also love to come over some time and I am sure Jeremy would be into either plan. Don't worry about the money! I am grateful that I could go along with you. I had a lot of fun. I am also going to go to the InFarmation talk at the Holocene next Tuesday from 5:30-8:30. (http://www.friendsoffamilyfarmers.org/?page_id=601) Maybe you'd like to go to that also. Either way- the distillery is in our future!
So great to meet you! I had a wonderful time touring farms with you. Let me know if you ever need a hand with your bees or other aspects of your farm!

Hi! What part of Portland do you live? I live in N.E. just off Alberta on 19th. Just going from hydroponic to aquaponic. Just got a 60 gal aquarium today and will hook it up to the existing gutter systems. We are only in town here during the week and leave Friday afternoon to go out to our cabin on the White Salmon River, in Wa. for the week ends.
It's amazing how fast this whole reality of aquaponics is happening, isn't it?
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 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.

Sorry it took so long for me to accept your friend request. I'm still learning how to use this forum.

Welcome, glad to have you as a friend.
