"Please explain...fish safe paint?"
"This is awesome! I now regret giving away my stock tank. I was told that galvanized tanks were not conducive to aquaponics."
"I read this post with great interest as I too live in a county island. Just a couple of thoughts came to mind. One remark was that the code doesn't say you can or can not have the hens. That leads me to think that it is the county's problem to prove…"
