Aquaponics

With the weather cooling down there are a lot of things to think about. A big one around here is what to do with the fish in our aquaponics setup out side.

This is something we had been mulling over all summer. Well, the temperatures are now in the single digits which means fish need to come in, now. So this afternoon we have transplanted the fish to our living room, pond and all.

There is a bit of a concern about the animals' reaction. Maybe we'll create a self-serve cat grass station.

This past May we went to visit the urban farm Growing Power. Growing Power specializes in vermicomposting and aquaponics. Vermicomposting is composting with worms and aquaponics is a hybrid between aquaculture and hydroponics. They are pioneers in this area and Will Allen, the founder of Growing Power has been at this for 18 years. The farm is 3 acres smack in the middle of the city. It now has many satellite farms all over the region that employ many people. Growing Power has a number of programs to help revitalize the inner city.
