    So Don, what nationality are you....I don't know why but when you mentioned your daughter...I pictured her short with Blonde hair...not the case...tall and slim with dark hair and eyes...like you would expect in the islands

    Tell her she gets an A+ from me for a great presentation in contrent and presense of mind while delivering it...I see a great female spokesperson in the making here.

    David, sometimes we all feel like that.
    At what point did our government cease to be of the people, by the people, and for the people?

    Re: Are You Passing on your knowledge to the next generation

    Good tips here. I'm kind of in the planning stage on my first setup. I just got a 10G aquarium off craigslist, went to lowes and spent way more than I wanted to on a shelf, more space than I need but looked at expanding when I can. I know my kids will be into it, but the points on getting them involved in the planning stage hit home. We home school our kids and I was going to use this kind of like a science project, but after reading this thread I'm changing my approach. I think I'll incorporate it more like a course. I'm gonna have them watch videos and do some research on AP then we'll do a "lab"
    They are 7&9 so I know they will really get into it [thumbs up]!!!

    Re: Are You Passing on your knowledge to the next generation

    I had three mentors when it comes to growing things. My mom who would go on these hard core gardening binges where she would dig everyting up - make raise beds, create compost. And basically she had us doing French Intensive gardening.

    My nextdoor neighbor on the the other hand had a perfectly landscaped house, a green house and the kind of knowledge that came from being married to the former head grounds keeper of Golden Gate Park - which her son took over during the 80-90's. From her I learned about pruning, splicing and caring for orchids.

    Lastly was my grandfather - who survived the Bataan Death March and had a Silver Star - taught me about intensive permaculture (though he would have never called it that. He had a 120 sq foot garden in the center of San Francisco and in the middle of it he had an apple tree. Some how he had something harvestable all year long and he grew enough stuff to share with others. From him I learned his water saving techniques which included using un-soaped rinse water and compost to feed all his plants.

    So I had great mentors and I try to do the same with the young folks I've come across during my life. These day I drag my 2 and 5 year old to the community garden I'm designing and building. I've been reading and dreaming about aquaponics for 5 years now and am finally really getting my feet wet. I'm building a 512 sq foot system and plan to keep my young ones and many other around for the whole project.

    Re: Are You Passing on your knowledge to the next generation

    Good topic. Glad to see I am not the only one who thinks this way. I am actually laying flat on my back due to back procedure. I just got finished explaining to my 8 and 10 year old that we were not doing much, both were disappointed and asked if I would just come out and watch them work on the lettuce system. Might well do that in a bit. I include them in everything I do.
