I will be returning to China in April. I would like to meet with you then, if that would be possible. I am thinking I will be in Beijing on the 12th. I don't have a set agenda yet.The place where we would be setting up the system would be on a mountain in Shandong Province about 50 KM west of Rizhao. I look forward to meeting you.

I am still in development. I spent 10 months experimenting on a small scale (100 fish). I have finalized my plans for sizing in the 40ft hoop greenhouse we are currently building. I am developing some alternative energy pumps and aeration devices. I will post them when they are "out of the oven". I need to do some more tests yet.

You might be interested in seeing the website of the group I am part of

http://www.sustainlife.org We teach homesteading and sustainability. There are at least 4 aquaponics systems being built currently with several more families considering.

They are in the process of determining what the demand will be for organic, non-gmo fish food.

I will mention to him that if it is non-gmo then he needs to include that in his description.

And yes, the company is one of those terrible capitalist companies that want to make the dreaded "M" word.

Ever since I started with the AP, it has been my intention to integrate it as completely as possible into a much more durable living arrangement than what we now have. Have you considered a TEG type power source for aeration, etc?

Go to the website" alcohol can be a gas.com"

Purchase the book, it will give you the best advise about how to do it. Obviously you will need a good plummer to do it

At 11:57am on October 10, 2011, Teresa N Florida said…: Carey, Glad to hear you will be stateside for a bit.

Will you be able to take some heirloom seeds back to Beijing with you??

I do hope so.

At 9:22am on September 13, 2011, Teresa N Florida said…: Hi Carey, I sent you a message rather than trying to put the whole comment here.

Talk to you soon.

At 6:22am on September 13, 2011, David Waite said…: Carey I am currently playing with a fodder system this fall. I am very interested in aeroponics. I have used this in hydro for cloning. What do you have in mind. Will send friend request.

At 12:00am on September 13, 2011, Lonny Harper said…: good reading. I'm cycling my new system so far. Each step I take, I learn that I have so much more to learn. Thanks for the warm welcome.

At 9:55pm on September 12, 2011, Teresa N Florida said…: Carey, I'd love to give aeroponics a try for potatoes and maybe carrots if possible, (hope to tie it into an AP system). The article I initially read was at this link:
Potato Pro

I am dreaming big I suppose, but I have lots of room (4 acres in the country, lol). Will have some chickens and perhaps a few goats. Waiting for my sister to move up here from Largo.

Do you have any pics of your aero system?? Did you determine Aero was more costly than AP?

At 8:31pm on September 4, 2011, Terri Mikkola said…: Carey, thank you for accepting my "friend" request. I've enjoyed reading your thoughtful posts.

Janaia Donaldson of Peak Moment TV is scaling back on her library and is interested in helping you out with your info shortage, but she needs your email address. You can find her at www.peakmoment.tv or I can pass it along if you prefer.

At 1:56am on August 27, 2011, Vlad Jovanovic said…: Thanks a bunch Carey...Appreciate it.

Yeah, I'm probably already overdoing it with the "just in case" factor on the electrical side, but better now than later...looking forward to those new blogs you mentioned...
