Guys I go to market...
On Thursdays we pick, on Friday we go to market and pick, same for saturday, sunday we go to market. Monday we pick for tuesday...
I Wil do my best to get a nice how to for those who want to produce for themselves cheaply. It will take a bit tho. My real passion is helping folks who wish to prep. Being able to have fresh production regardless of adversity is very important.
P.S. thanks for the encouragement.
Hydroponics with fish I wonder?
I have a fairly large pond about 50ft from the south side of my greenhouse and it does have fish so I'm always wondering how I could incorporate water, plants, fish, etc. It would be nice to have both but I can understand the nutrient preferences. Thanks!
I think the best way to combine hydroponics and fish is to use the water from the fish tanks for watering (lots of nutrients from their waste), but to otherwise keep them separate.
Vicki... we've seen some neat displays by FRA members on both various methods of hydroponics and fish farming... But darn it, I can't remember if it was at the NY State fair, or the Erie County fair in Hamburg N.Y.. Erie County will be starting in about 2 weeks, although they're still cleaning up from the tornado that trashed the fairgrounds last week.

So you're using drip irrigation? Your plants are in soil?
From www.epicgardening.com/hydroponic-systems/:
There are six main types of hydroponic systems to choose from:
Wick Systems.
Deep Water Culture (DWC)
Nutrient Film Technique (NFT).
Ebb and Flow (Flood and Drain)
Aeroponics.
Drip Systems.

My only caution is don't allow the water to contact any part of the plant you intend to eat. It will likely contain high levels of bacteria that could make you sick. So use drip irrigation.
I was trying to eat Stan. lol That turned my stomach, thanks! lol
