Thanks for the welcome.
My main planting area is 6x28', which I've usually planted in three 4x8' sections.

I'd like to get the veggies going before getting any fish, if that's possible.
I'm a little confused about the sequence, and how long it takes a system to get functioning.
My idea is to get a small reservoir and grow bed to start, then expand to a larger stock tank and grow beds.

Would it help to grow clover in the beds, to help get nitrogen fixing bacteria established?
