Ferrocement Educational Forum

I was looking up different aquaponics systems on their forum when I ran across one member's post concerning the construction of his ferrocement system. I'd never heard of ferrocement but was immediately intrigued. Poking around on the internet, looking up ferrocement, I found another forum that I'm providing a link for.

This looks so interesting to me as a building medium, not just for aquaponics, but also for other garden structures.

An Aussie Aquaponics Forum

You can get there from the IBC link. But I wanted a more direct route from here.

Back Yard Aquaponics Forum

I'm particularly interested in Nat's Blue Barrel System.

The IBC's are coolio. But the blue barrels look like a better 'starter'  system for total newbies. If I were to ever actually 'do' aquaponics, I'd probably have to start with the blue barrels.

Fish Tank Aquaponics

We have a small fish tank that I was thinking of experimenting with. I may or may not. But I still find this youtube video to be very interesting.

Squash Links

I'm wanting to plant squash today. I've already planted pumpkin, butternut, and spaghetti squash. I bought a few more packets of seeds of both summer and winter squash and would like to get them into the ground today or tomorrow.

This has been recommended as a helpful website for those interested in aquaponics.

Malamalama story on Aquaponics

I'm including this because they have a link to instructions for building automatic bell siphons which seem to be very important to aquaponic systems.

This guy goes step by step. Even though I don't plan to build a desktop, indoor system, I appreciate how patient he is to thoroughly explain things.
