I have recently purchased a "Place in the Country". I am slowly getting it setup to enjoy. I'm very interested in Aquaponics's ability to provide Fruits, Vegetables and Proteins. I'm starting from the ground up and haven't purchased anything yet. I do have some ideas though on a system that...

I've been doing various sorts of hydro now for many years. I enjoy gardening, but keeping pests out of the garden (kids, squirrels, mice, rabbits, deer, bugs etc.) in urban areas is often a pain. And my luck with cold frames has been, well, poor. So regular extended-season gardening hasn't gone...

I'm toying with the idea of trying it small scale,....like maybe a small ag container,....500 gallons,....... thinking Talapia and catfish for here in louisiana ......uncertain about the vegetation,... any experience in here?

aquaponics/hydroponics i downloaded a pdf file today on aquaponics called barrelponics. it was on how to set up a fish tank and vegetable plant system that will self sustain. read the entire file. it did a great job of explaining the system and how it works. however it missed a few details...
