Geodesic Dome Aquaponics on a Tiny Allotment in Cornwall

[Paul]

Hi All

I have been wanting to build an aquaponics system for many years but being NFA we have never had somewhere to build it.

Recently we took over a tiny allotment in Cornwall in the far SW of the UK and we have just built a Geodesic Dome Greenhouse to house our AP system.

I am trying to get hold of a couple of IBC but I am finding it difficult to find them at a reasonable price but I will get there.

I will start building soon

After spending some time in Cornwall a couple of years ago, I'm very interested in your progress.  What part of Cornwall are you in?  I have a small ap garden because I wanted to see if I could do it and it is working  Check out my page.

Please keep me up on how you are doing.

If you want you can email me at [e-mail]   thanks and good luck

Thanks Shirley

We are in Truro

How do I check out your page?

I am having trouble finding IBCs  so I think I might just build from scratch

I was in Truro. HILLY BUT VERY NICE.  Well if you click on my icon it should take you to my page. As far as IBC's go you can really use anything.  My first grow beds are cat litter bins and a cement mixing ben.   They have been good starters but we are going to change over to 55 gal food barrels cut in half they would work nice in you green house.

The book they offer on this site is very helpful.

and even the second time. It's pretty good guide.
