Aquaponics in schools
Hi Murray
Murray I have been asked by 2 schools (1 in Brisbane and 1 on the Sunshine Coast) about aquaponics and one of the questions they have is how many other schools have a system in SEQ.and could they have a look at one ?
A person from the school has seen a aquaponic system already but I think they would like to talk to someone at the school about how they went about it.
If anyone else has an idea on this I will pass the information back to them.

Ok Friends That should do for now. Just a clarification The Aquaponics area of the web is fairly saturated with Aquaponics 4U which you will have noticed I have steered well clear of. This is causing me some concern as it means that my sources are being filled with the one thing. with no doubt as many trying to sell it as there is people to buy it. If Im right that is not profitable except...well I;m sure you can figure that one out. The other thing worth mentioning is You may notice that Im introducing areas related to A/P that should be benificial to our blog members and visitors. O.K. Thats a WrapTake Care
