Hello from Decatur, GA

[Bevansuits]

Georgia? Not that I know of. Last Thursday I made a presentation at Ft Valley State aquaponics workshop, they have an aquaculture program with a side interest in aquaponics. About 40 people came from all over the southeast, for the most part new to the concept, but otherwise serious about pursuing it on a homestead scale. No one made any mention of larger systems in GA. Nothing to approach Morningstar Fishermen or Travis Hughey.

The workshop could have been much better, but it showed the interest level, those who would drive a few hours on a weekday. You know the passion when you first heard of aquaponics? Made some good contacts.

Welcome to the forum Bevansuits, glad to have you aboard

Thanks Jackalope. Where are you and how's your aquaponics system going?

How big is the system there? I'm about three hours south from there, I would like to come check it out sometime. Maybe the next time you have a presentation.

The system at Ft Valley you mean? It's way too small to drive more than two miles for. I am thinking of hosting the next one at my place in Decatur.

I'm in Montana, and my AP was shut down for the Winter .... we had snow on and off all last week, and in a couple of weeks we'll be going to Tennessee to help my son get his place ready to move in to ..... not enough time to grow anything this year, becuz it starts freezing in September around here . I'm hoping to sell the place and move to Tennessee .... my son bought 20 acres there and wants us to move there so he can take care of us as we get older ..... did I mention that I hate Social (in)Security?

I'm going to sell all of my Mossies before we go so we don't have to worry about having someone take care of them ..... They're 3" to 6", so I'll have to sell locally ..... I might just sell the pool, heater, filters and all ..... that way I can call it a 'turnkey' system

Tennessee can be gorgeous, especially in the mountains.
