"Great Hassena, I will make up a little sheet for people to copy :-)"

thanks bunches"
"Hassena, slightly off subject - are you selling worms too? I get a question, seems more and more, about where to buy worms. Would love to send people your way. If so - through Root Phoenix?"
"Oh my gosh I love this plant. I use mostly for tea. It has a cooling effect on the body, great for the summer time sipping. Mine already died back with the frost. Root is where I've seen them selling.
Thanks for the creative ideas. "

"That's very interesting site. I hope to try more methods of preservation. Still haven't taking the canning leap. some day, some day..."
"the tanks would be used for a vermiculture system. It don't have to be pretty to be wormy :) The IBC is not quite the right size. something in the 4x3 up to 4x6 with a depth of about a foot is ideal. Seen alot of different tanks online and would…"
"Hassena, we used "Tank n Barrel" in Apache Junction and were very happy with the 275 gal tank/frames we got. We are using for water storage, but they should work for aquaponics. I've seen pictures of set ups were the have cut the top off for ponds…"
"The IBC totes work very well for Aquaponics. If you are not to concerned with the looks they are great. You can also paint the tanks to help with UV protection and make them last a bit longer. If you need a hand with pumps or plumbing kits, can…"
"Depending on sizes people use free spas from craigslist, 55 gallon food grade barrels or 275 gallon food grade IBCs. There are some tanks made for aquaponics available on different internet sites, but I'm sure you've already seen the high prices on…"

I posted a while back about natural pools. There seems to be a few posts about this, but they are now several years old. I am in Central Phoenix; I have an old Master Pool from the 80s, is a 9' diving pool. Is there something really cheap that can be done to convert this pool to a natural pool? Has anyone converted a pool in the Phoenix area who is willing to share their experience? I would love to hear from them and to find out their ideas, distresses, successes, etc. I am sick of the pool just sitting there taking up electricity and water. I want to grow tilapia and other plants in it, if possible, without a lot of expenses, since I will be on SSA.
Welcome to the Edible Desert Committee group page. We don't have much action going on right now but we'll work on it!
Best wishes,
