We'll get some more pics then to…"

Jesse Hull commented on Vlad Jovanovic's group Fish-less Systems"Vlad - Great group idea . I've been using mechanical and biological filters in my hydro-organic system for several years now (it's actually how I got into AP).

Fish-less Systems
This is a group for people who have any kinds of fish-less systems, but yet are not doing classical hydroponics. Where we can share what we have come to find about making-home made nutrients, oganic-hydro, pee-ponics, worm tea hydro, bio-ponics, home-made buffers, water chemistry or anything else that is perhaps inappropriate for fish. As well as experimenting and sharing results for things that might be alright for our aquatic critters.See More

- I work with my partner, Molly Stanek, focusing on urban farming and aquaponic food production systems as 'Imagine Aquaponics'. Together we endeavor to establish commercial sites in strategic areas of the US, with the goal of strengthening and revitalizing communities, and doing our part to make urban food deserts a thing of the past.
I also hold the Vice Chair position in the US Chapter of the Aquaponics Association.
I've been practicing horticulture for nearly 19 years, during which time I performed extensive beta-testing for the hydroponic, greenhouse, & horticultural lighting industries. I love seeing plants grow (really -sometimes I'll just sit there and watch), and will always consider R&D/product testing as a mainstay in my work.
My introduction to aquaponics came as a result of experiments with hydro-organics and bio-filtration methods, during which time I combined the filtered waste from fish, rabbits, kelp, and rock powders to supply a natural nutrient source for hydroponic plant systems.
From 2009-2011, I held the position of Director of Horticulture, Research and Development at Sweet Water Organics in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
My other background is in ceramic chemistry (www.wisemanmariestudios.com), and I worked as a ceramic artist/chemist, creating wheel-thrown & altered porcelain for 14 years.
The parallels that can be drawn between ceramic and horticultural chemistry are many, and I love to push the limits of both.

While pulling the holiday decor off our windows, we caught a strong smell of gas in our front yard. So we called the gas company and they sent a woman to check it out. She ends up needing to look at our furnace, and on the way down the stairs she hears the water running and sees the light blasting out of our R&D garden room. She pauses and looks at me out of the…

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded."

Bas de Groot said… Hi Jesse,
Their is much going on we are working hard to open our first Urban Farm in Rotterdam (target 20 locations in 5 cities in 5 year) Great, but a very bumpy road that took 2,5 years. The Netherlands is a bit more difficult to get things done in the states. The quality of your produce have to be from a high quality, prices are low, reculations are very strikt etc etc. (and employees get more money)
But as I said we are going to start and that is a great feeling.
Our fist location will be including field crop in selfcreated, soffruit in semi-hydro, doublegoal chicken and Aquaponics. Selling threw baskets, restaurants and our own retail and restaurant. The money is fixed and the builders are starting on the location. in november we have our first jobintervieuws .
to see some pictures go to www.uitjeeigenstad.nl / www.fromyourowntown.com
How are you and moly doing I see that you have start your own Aquaponics business.
A nice thing to know is that we work with charlie and a dutch aquaculture organisation on a new AP system wher we can work with different tempatures (fish/plan) and different flows. to get a more ideal environment for the llettuce / herb that are our main focus (fish is hard to sell over here)

TCLynx said… - I'm glad you were able to stop by. Haven't had too much time for rest though. Got home and started working on the plumbing for adding in the expansion of the tower system. Finally got that all glued together today. Was hoping the tower delivery would be today but there is still tomorrow. Hopefully will have that going full tilt come mid October. Spent an hour in the tree tonight cutting down more lufa and will be washing them tomorrow as I wait to see if the towers are going to come in.

Thanks,

Rick Garcia said… Hey Jesse,
My name is Rick Garcia i'm from Denver, I was checking out your page and saw a picture of Emanuelle. I met him at Growing Power during the CUA workshops, he took us to Sweetwater. Cool real cool. Im working on small home size systems, of course everyplace has its challenges, but with much collaboration with folks like JD Sawyer and others in our area we are working towards making this a viable means of food production in our area. I am also looking at the larger more established producers such as SweetWater, Growing Power and Friendly Aquaponics as model of what we can become.
Your input and advice can go along way.
Thanks Rick

pass this on to Emanuelle too Right on
