Aquaponics Garden Build with Rainbow trout and leafy vegetables, Part 1.

Hey everyone. I am really passionate about 'off gridding' part of this a rather large part actually includes aquaponics. I always tell anyone that is keen to get involved with aquaponics to start small. Get to know your way around the system, the functioning thereof the nutrients needed, water temps, fish-plants symbiosis etc.

This was one of my first systems setup in my garden behind my house. Not only was it very good exercise to build it was very rewarding from start to finish, watching the fish and plants grow and thrive, that satisfaction is hard to mimic.

Just finished digging the main fish tank lining it with plastic. Now for the NFT pipe installation..
