Aquaponics in a Community Garden

Note: This blog is a companion to Galion Garden Group 
GGG is Aquaponics oriented, yet many of the
 topics there may be of value to you.

*****

An aquaponic system is compatible to other methods of gardening and the fish solid waste (fish emulsion), when diluted can be used to fertilize plot or container in-soil gardens.

Due to the seasonal changes here in Galion a year-round system needs to be built inside a building or greenhouse. Establishing a small system first and then expanding on that system to become a commercial and/or charitable operation is highly recommended. This would hold true for an aquaponics division of the Galion Community Garden as well.

In the following videos watch Gina Cavaliero of Green Acres Aquaponics introduce her steps to developing her commercial system and take note of the possibilities for the development of a large-scale aquaponics system within the community garden to produce local fresh healthy year-round harvests for distribution to the general public.
