Well, its mostly finished. Those of you who have been to my place know I have an AP system in my front yard, based on a jacuzzi and a converted raised bed. Its been working for about a year and a half. So the new system is in the backyard, based on the 8x2 stock tank that I had for my micro livestock. The water is very green, in part from the duck poop. Since I am running a pump in there anyway, seemed like the perfect place to experiment. It still needs more lava rock and an electrician to remove the neck height hanging extension cords, and plants. I will be trying different plants to reduce the feed bill for the goats. Have bamboo cuttings in, will try pre-sprouting barley and wheat seeds and growing them out in the bed. Visitors are welcome.

Nice Liz!! I'd definitely like to visit. What are the best days/times for you?? I'm pretty open, my 'job' is my urban farm. Though I've been doing some volunteering at various places. FYI..we 'aquapons' have a good forum-type group called Arizona Aquaponics that you'd like...it's on http://www.aquaponicscommunity.com, click on groups to find us.
