Hurray

This site is finally up and running !

In my backyard is an aquaponic system that holds about 30 pounds of fish and 260
vegetable plants. All of this takes up about half the space of an average one car garage.

There are two 100 gallon fish tanks and two 4'x8' troughs of vegetables.  This system can easily
provide most of the vegetables a family of 3 or 4 people can consume. I grow beans, peas, herbs, celery. cucumbers, tomatoes , green onions, and a wide variety of greens such as water cress, swiss chard, kale  and more.

The water from the fish tanks is run through the troughs and roots of the vegetables
The vegetables 'clean' the water before it runs back into the fish tank.
