It was my understanding that it would be ok to grow veggies here, and they wont dry out as long as they are regularly watered, which obv. aquaponics does. Can anyone help? thanks!
Put a large tub of water outside and check the temperatures throughout the day. This will give you SOME idea of what your system will do because the larger the volume of water the less the temperature will move.
