    Re: workshop

    I think my buddy bought the 'book'...I'll have to check it out.

    Some of these training courses 'seem' to be a high cost....
    Education is never 'free'...some times the school of 'Hardknocks' costs more then a formal education.... ...
    Everyone's time is worth $omething....I think of all the hours I $pent 'online', reading about aquaponics...especially in my 1st year....wow... ... Don't take it wrong....I'm glad for all the help and info I received, in all that time....('Thanks!)

    I was blessed just recently....my buddy paid for me to go to a 3 day 'AP training course'. I got to meet lots of 'friendly' wana-be aquapons... Even though, I'd been studying the 'raft method' for quite some time, and actually doing it in my backyard for a year or so...I still learned some ways to improve it.
    IMO...if someone really wanted a 'jump start' into AP, the costs are worth it.
    If your doing it 'commercially'....what a great tax write off...going to hawaii or FL... :P

    Oh, I didn't see a price. I'm just amazed how quickly aquaponics is growing.

    EDIT: Oh, I see the price now... WHOA! That's about the going rate for these kinds of things.

    I agree, training is the best way to quickly get prepared for a commercial venture in aquaponics. I think the training we attended might be the best thing out there to-date.
