Watch later: What is aquaponics, the bare bones basics..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeoYHWLC9Tc
Thought I would do a layman's explanation of what aquaponics is for those that are curious.. Thanks to Edwina for asking the question :) Not a real in depth one but it will give those an idea on how the system works & the relationship between the fish, bacteria & plants.. I have mentioned it in previous clips but not where it is easily found in one spot.. Most of the information I found for helping me to understand aquaponics was first found on You Tube as well a few of the aquaponic forums & sites on the internet.. The YT channels I have found loads of great info on & helped give me some ideas are, (in no particular order) The Urban Farming Guys http://www.youtube.com/user/TheUrbanFarmingGuys Paul from Earthan Group http://www.youtube.com/user/EarthanGroupFilms Bright Agrotech http://www.youtube.com/user/BrightAgrotechLLC Rob from Bigelow Brook Farm http://www.youtube.com/user/web4deb As well as the many clips that I randomly click on while searching "aquaponics" here on YT.. A great site with a few handy DIY ideas & more in depth information on aquaponics & aquaculture is Earthan Group.. Paul has gone out of his way to provide some great information for us novices to take advantage of.. Am also hoping to add a few "Earthan Beds" to our system in the future when time permits :) http://www.earthangroup.com.au The forum I have used the most is the Backyard Aquaponics based here in Australia.. There are loads of members from all around the world on there so the info is relevant to all I think.. http://www.backyardaquaponics.com/forum/ There are loads of good forums on the internet & are only a quick search away.. I have had some excellent help along the way from fellow backyard growers on forums as well as from some very knowledgeable professionals who like to help out when they can.. To all these people I would like to say a big THANKS.. They have helped me sort out a few of my newbie mistakes on more than one occasion & can take some of the credit for us not losing any fish :D **knocks on wood** For more regular updates & pictures from the aquaponics & the patch you can visit us at http://www.facebook.com/Bitsouttheback Have a great one All...
