Hello from Tiffin, Ohio

[vkirchner]

My name in Vince Kirchner, I have been studying permaculture design for a few years. This year I obtained a certification which during the class we spoke about aquaculture and aquaponics. I was very interested to learn more about the subject, so hear I am.

2. Married with 3 boys over 21, all living at home.(Tough Economy)
3. My permaculture work in in it's infancy, but I hope to do more of that in the future. (http://www.greatlakespermaculture.com)

Hi Vince,

I'm glad to see more Ohioans on the forum. I'm in Smithville (out side Wooster). I've been reading on permaculture for years, and very interested. We just bought 8.5 A. next to our 1.5A. We'll talk.
Welcome aboard and if I can help just yell.

Hello and welcome!

[vkirchner]

Thanks for the warm welcome. It is nice to see a few Ohioans here. I hope to learn enough to be able to provide plans for a small aquaponic system as part of my permaculture reports for clients. They will have to satisfy two main criteria, first they have to be simple so they can be built with minimal skills, the second is that it has to be packaged attractively. We were taught that we could have the best system in the world but if it did not look "pretty", then no one would be interested.

Web site is still sparse at this time. I have plenty of material to put up there but I have been fighting the Wordpress theme a little bit, still wrapping my head around it so to speak.

Thanks again.

yeah, quite a few buckeyes on this forum.. it's nice when we can commiserate over this crazy weather... in the 40's today with a bunch of snow on the ground, it's going to be raining till the sun goes down, then it'll be a nice snow blanket on top of the ice.. glad i got new tires last weekend! but it meant i couldn't buy anything for my basement system
i got a camera though, (actually my online shopping wife did) and if it;'s not destined to be a gift for someone else, i'll see if i can get some pic's
