The final week of 2011 is here and it is almost time to start singing Auld Lang Syne. What started out as a Scottish poem in 1788 has become the anthem of New Years Eve. Ever wondered what the heck we sing about every year at midnight of December 31st? Well, apparently the song begins by asking whether or not old times should be forgotten and is also a reminder to remember long-standing and important friendships. At Green Acre, we certainly do not want to forget old times and definitely…

Integrating a media bed with a DWC or raft type system has a multitude of benefits. One mustn’t only consider the increased growing diversity, but the additional nutrient availability, the addition of a tremendous biofilter, the reduction of labor from not removing solids and the benefit of utilizing those solids. Of course if this is to be considered for a commercial application, the additional cost of…

This is the first in my new Green Acre Organics blog series at http://www.greenacreorganics.biz/blog/ However, as I was posting it here, it occurred to me that I missed a huge thank you. I am incredibly grateful for the folks and friends I have met and made here. There are those that keep me thinking and questioning like Kobus, Rupert and Raychel and those that almost always have something kind and supportive to say like Sahib or there…

In my last blog about Green Acre's breaking news, I announced that we had moved on from our former affiliation and explained a couple of the reasons for our change in direction. Most importantly though, it was time to expand upon our own aquaponic experience and share it with others that were eager to learn. Since last month, we have even more great news to share and more details about our new and exciting direction and partners and its fall and any Florida farmer knows Fall means…

Michael Stuart Askew said… Hi, Gina, Thanks for the acceptance and welcome. I will load a picture when I can get my wife's help as I am officially a computer idiot. I am looking forward to lots of good reading here on the site. Thanks again, Michael
Ronald Wickline said… Hello Gina,
Thank you for your kind welcome. I've studied aquaponics for some time now along with my degree in wildlife and fisheries. I'm retired now and in the planning stages of building a greenhouse for aquaponics. I've tried several different systems in the past and have my plans fairly well in place for my larger scale system. After eating marron and red claws many years ago in Australia I believe thats what I will raise as I love to eat them and believe after inquiring the local resteraunts that I can easily sale all surplus but I'm not familiar with their specific culture. So 'm interested in any and all help and knowledge anyone is willing to share with me. So I'm looking forward to learning your site and meeting many of the members.
Thanks Dale
Chris said… Thanks for the welcome. The system featured in your photos is of particular interest of mine as I am currently researching the feasibility of a similar sized operation as an early retirement project. The big twist/challenge however is that it would be implemented in Southern Vietnam. I don't see much discussion of similar topic here (and minimally on other AP forums) so it should make for an interesting thread :) Coming Soon™ I still have some more digging and thinking to do.
