I dabbled in hydroponics when I was a teenager, but decided the chemicals needed weren’t the way I wanted to go.

After my house and greenhouse are built, I’m planning to try my hand at aquaponics. It’s similar to hydroponics, except that instead of synthetic fertilizers, you use the water from fish tanks. And instead of normal filters for the fish tanks, you send the water through your grow beds. If done right, both the fish and the vegetables flourish.

Thanks, sounds intetesting.

Fish crap fertilizer..

I have a spring fed pond full of fish. Maybe I should try it.

But that’s in the North on my farm and I’m looking at doing this in North Carolina, my winter home.

I now have a large greenhouse, but need new plastic. I need an outside winter hobby. Since my wife retired, my retirement ended! It’s my escape.
