OK, commercial Aquaponics has been cussed and discussed many times here and there on this forum so I thought it was time to put out the challenge to all the members.![]()
Let's say you have the money to purchase 20 acres of land for this project.
Here are the questions at hand:-
1) How important is the location of the Com/AP sys. geographically relative to success?
2) What style of greenhouse is best suited for a truly large Com/AP sys.?
3) What sort of heating/cooling system to be used?
4) Where do you house the fish...inside/outside or a combination of both?
5) What fish/crustaceans do you raise?
6) What veggie/s to grow to produce the most profit?
7) How do you market your products?
8) Do you shift crops for winter/summer?
9) How much capitol is needed for an initial start up?
10) What time frame from start up to first product/s ready for sale?
11) How many persons needed to accomplish success?
Please feel free to chime in with more questions but please number them in sequence.
When you answer a question, please list the number of the question that you are responding to. I know it's being a little restrictive however I am in hopes it will give the discussion more structure.
As for responses to responses, well we'll just have to do the best we can do to keep it all together.![]()
I realize some of these question are very general in content but that's where the challenge comes in. It is up to us to figure this out piece by piece.![]()
