Aquaponics in a Barrel

I recently started looking at options to supplement our food and income. Seeing the Economical situation around the world is worsening. So in my search I discovered "Aquaponics" it is the combination of raising food fish and growing vegetables from the waste water of the fish. the gravel grow beds filter the water for the fish as the plants feed off the nutrients provided by the fish waste. all natural and organic.

As a result I found a simple small scale Aquaponics system called "BarrelPonics" by the inventor Travis Hugey a missionary to Africa.

This system is perfect for those first starting out and want to understand the in's and out's of Aquaponics. below are some pictures and you can see my videos on YouTube.

After getting it all set up I realized this will be a good ministry for others who need to supplement their incomes and food. it is a low maintenance system. I will be holding seminars starting in September.

I was invited by one of the chief guards at the Penal Farm to teach this to the prisoners so they could learn how to make a larger one to help supplement the food and funds for the prisoners and the penal farm.

more on that as it develops
