Came across this whilst looking for information on ferrocement aquariums for aquaponics...

"Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gets understanding. (Proverbs 3:13)"
...and thought it might bring a smile to the face of some my fellow FReepers in the Garden section... like it did to me.
Dear #40 and gardening freepers,
I’m a long-time FReeper, (short and lousy-time gardener).
Got a great fence to keep deer out, raised beds with brand new soil, showed me where the food comes from off the plants. The next year weaker soil and then huge drought and extreme heat wave. No harvest this year in Central Texas.
Found out about Aquaponics and have given that a try, had the beds, fish & tank set up and as soon as the heat wave got below 100 degrees (in October) the plants started growing.
The leaves are HUGH & series. (Freeper talk from long ago)
Just waiting for cooler weather to give me tighter sprouts, lettuce etc. But for the LOUSY gardener, the Aquaponics WORKS!!!
