Posted on Feb 15, 2012 in - Food & Recipes, Emergency Preparedness & Survival, Urban Gardening, Farming & HomesteadingKevin Hayden – TruthisTreason.net
Source: Doom and Bloom, by Dr. Bones & Nurse AmyI recently added a vegetable grow bed to my existing fish and water lily pond. Good, healthy bacteria grow within a balanced fish pond in order to help break down fish waste. This bacteria is important to the entire aquaponics system.
If you are starting a new pond or system, add “pond starter” to help boost the bacteria population. It is a good idea to add more bacteria every few weeks

Aquaponics Systems – Ship it!
“When you ship things change. Your project interacts with the world and the market changes. You change. There is a mark in the calendar – there were days before you shipped and then there are the days after you shipped”
Seth Godin, “Ship It”
Anyone who has ever read much of Seth Godin’s work knows that he uses the term “ship it” in a unique way. In Seth’s world shipping means that you have stopped planning, testing, evaluating and primping, and you are now officially taking action. Once a product is shipped it leaves your control and is “out there” for critique. “Ship it” in this sense can be both scary and exhilarating, but it is an inevitable milestone in a product’s success.This past week we shipped our first two customer-ordered large AquaBundance Modular aquaponics systems. Doing so was the culmination of about a year of hard work. For this week’s blog post, I thought you might find it interesting to read just a bit about what we did to prepare and launch our Modular aquaponics system.

Aquaponics in Vietnam
Aquaponics reduces water consumption, yields quality produce, and provides healthy protein for communities.
Communities along the Mekong Delta do not have high incomes to afford protein and grow rice with polluted water from the delta. To feed their families a nutritious meal without using their reserved rain water, and creating a business to increase their income, aquaponics is the solution to go.

- You would probably need to make a raft and contain the seed in little net pots with some media like gravel or clay balls or something similar.
You might need to run some water tests to see if your pond has enough left over nutrients to....

Sahib Aquaponics Farm Tour Feb 2012
The February Free Farm Tour was the first opportunity for Central Florida members of IDEAS For Us to come and discover the wonderful world of Aquaponics. We certainly had a full house. We had over 60 visitors, 50 of them via IDEAS For Us. We had to arrange 4 tours, starting at 10.00am and lasting well past 4.00pm. A very busy day!
You should have seen the starry glaze in the eyes of all who attended. Was this really true? A sustainable urban food jungle in waste space! We felt so good that we could capture their imagination and open up a whole new world for them
