Hello there from inside the states. I wish for your future success and congratulate you on your adventure. I am planning to travel and live in Hawaii in the near future and taking the course with Friendly Aquaponics (If you have any experience with them I would appreciate the information). After training or possibly during I will be looking for other adventures and experience with other farms. I believe that I can bring a lot the the community and am in search of prospective positions that can further me along in life. If you have the desire for a hard working and green-loving employee or partner please keep me in mind and do not hesitate to ask questions as I am an open book and open minded individual. I want to succeed in this venture just the same as you, so please, if ever needed, contact me. Thank you much.

Sylvia Bernstein said… - Hi Giorgio,
I loved your dog story. I have a Tibetan terrier who has made it her life mission to catch a tilapia. I have a couple purging right now, and she is going nuts trying to get at them.
Thanks for joining the Aquaponic Gardening community! I hope you find it a fun place to explore aquaponics. There is a real blend of experienced and new aquapons in this community, so please don’t hesitate to join in. Always thrilled to have experienced growers join us – please post some photos of your system!
We have just one rule - keep it cordial (no flaming!).
Thanks again for joining us, and I look forward to getting to know you.
Sylvia
