hello from maryland

Hey brand new to this aquaponics world, but I'm very interested. I'm wondering how to keep this alive through the winter if I were to make one?

A water heater and a greenhouse works for me. Where abouts in MD?

Welcome to the forum klewi.... :D

Some of the other guys do it in their basements.

if you can't do a greenhouse, you could do it indoors - i'm in northeast ohio and building in my basement..
i just ordered 3 yards of gravel to be delivered wednesday! yay!

Essex/Baltimore. Yea I have just a crawl space so it eliminates the basement ideas. Outside is really my only option. Im definetly thinking a green house I'm just concerned about the electric bill in the winter. If possible I would like to be able to make it powered solar or something. I'm concerned about an economic collapse and want to be as self sufficient as possible

[klewi]

Yea looks like your doing good. Looks better than my dirt garden lol. Oh and thanks everyone for your advice. I'm new with the forum thing too so bare with me

That's a geodesic dome greenhouse. I love those things, most efficient I have found. What are your thoughts? I find either people like em or hate em.
