OK,
Now that @Seamaiden and I have got our first veggies planted, I thought I might share with y'all a little of what we've been up to. We thought we might try our hand out at aquaponics given the drought out here an all, right? Apparently, even though we're using water to move nutrients through the media beds, this type of system will actually require less water to deliver said nutrients vs. conventional soil farming.
The main pond (~1500 gallons)...
The media bed platform...
Construction of Swirl Filter...
Swirl Filter in action...
Filling the media beds w/ rock....
First planting...
