Hey new to the forum, new to aquaponics, and fairly new to growin sTuff. It all started about 2 years ago we moved to ky with intentions of raising some meat. We got a few chickens then a duck then last year rabbits and a garden. I have tried to grow some tomatos and a pepper here and there but never thought of a actual garden. Last year we were planning on moving just not sure where so I planted my garden in buckets I got off freecycle and we ended up moving back to Georgia and I took my rabbits and peppers with me. This year I am planning on a bigger garden. I just tilled ( the old fashion way( with a shovel)) a 10x12 area for the garden. Also mixed in some wood ash and rabbit poo. I am currently working on a simple barrelponics system. I fould a guy locally selling blue tialpia that I plan to use. The barrelponics setup is the wife's idea but I all in it. If it works out as expected I have a bigger setup i want to build but going to see how it works out first befor I make the investment. I bought the 2 drums, PVC pipe a 300gph pump and cut the first drum in half last weekend. I hope to use this site to learn from and help anyone I can. Wondering if anyone has any pics of there setup similar to mine and also some do's and donts. I would like to learn from others mistakes expecially if it can save me a dollar in the long run. Thanks for any info. And happy growin!
