Hi, aquaponoids,
I am gearing up to install an aquaponics system in an existing greenhouse. My husband is great with the construction end of things, and I am searching for knowledge about how to do it, best fish and plants, and so on. I am in Oklahoma, which is in the south central US for those of you not familiar with US geography. We are in USDA Zone 7, last frost date is around April 15, and we can grow vegetables well into October and November.
I am especially concerned with choosing fish with a good ration of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids because of health concerns. I hope there's a discussion going about that and will look for it.
Looks like there are many experienced people on this forum and I am looking forward to learning from you. Thanks!
Donna
