Confessions of an Aquaholic - The Past Year in Review (A Reflection)
Aquaponics is an addiction and I get my daily fix every time I harvest a tomato, cucumber, head of lettuce, or catch out a full grown trout. I haven't found a cure (nor am I looking for one). I suppose crop failures, fish deaths, bug infestations or job relocations could prove fatal.

New seedlings are placed in clean empty raft boards at one end of the system and harvest ready boards are removed and emptied of plants at the other.
