This Blog is Over

Well, we sold our house and moved finally! Good news for us, but not such good news for this blog. Since it's pretty location-specific, I'm going to end it. I'm going to see if there's a way to archive this, as there might be some useful info on it for others, but there won't be any new content.

I will be starting from scratch with aquaponics at some point this late winter/early spring. We're renting as of this moment, so I probably won't be doing anything permanent. But, I can't see myself going through a growing season without some sort of aquaponic system set up!

You can follow my new exploits when they happen at my website http://www.briannaess.com

There's pretty much nothing there right now, but I'll be working on getting it up and running with content as time permits.

Landscape Aquaponics

I've been thinking about how aquaponics is done in the backyard, and if there's any money in setting up systems for other folks. To me, if more people were growing their own food, we wouldn't have as many food issues as we do now. One of the potential barriers to people putting in their own aquaponics systems (in addition to time, lack of expertise in construction, plumbing, etc.) is that some people may not like the way they look.

That got me to thinking about "landscape aquaponics". Playing to more of a water garden crowd. Something that not only provides food, but also looks great.
