This information isn’t the whole story. Aquaponic facilities are subject to 14 food and safety regulations and must be shut down when they test positive for ecoli beyond the threshold. Look up Dr. James Rakocy for more details.

After watching several videos and reading tons of books. I found that there were several methods of growing. I just went out on a limb and spread soil on several old tobacco trays. I seeded them carefully not to over crowd as I went at it by hand. Layed another layer of soil. I then put them on the pond and let them float. I grew tons of butter crunch lettuce.
Hey Greg, thanks for the question – Keep them coming! The real reason for the rounded roof is our budget. The round roof is far cheaper than a pitched greenhouse design. When you’re an upstart farmer, every pinched penny counts!
I have just found you on You Tube. I watched every video on your page. 4 pages of notes and four hours later. So much good info. I love it. One question I have is about the green house it self. Is there a reason for round top verses a pitched roof? Hope this is not a stupid question. I just have never heard anyone talk about it. Thanks for sharing. Can’t wait for the next video.

Your fish water can and usually does have other zoonotic diseases. You really shouldn’t be drinking that.

What smell? Mine doesn’t have any offensive odor. My worm bins a little earthy.
