Earlier in this year I was working with a couple of large aquaponic raft systems with two 5' x 12' x 1' raft beds. I enjoyed every day of it and learned a lot. Because the system was properly designed and I'd been trained/taken classes on aquaponic production it seemed very simple to produce in the systems. But, I had to grow what my boss wanted to grow. And that was always lettuce. I like trying new things and I really couldn't wait to try out new vegetables in aquaponics. Now I have a couple of systems at home that are about the size I imagine most homeowners would want when getting into aquaponic food production at home.
It's been a terribly hot summer, and not much is growing other than mint and lemon balm right now. But as we get closer to the end of summer I'm looking forward to my options for plant selection to open up. Right now I'm trying to grow pole beans, bush beans, cucumbers, and bell peppers mostly. I'd like to share my learning process with you. I'll surely make mistakes, and quickly learn from them. Other times I'll learn from what does work (I prefer it that way). And I hope that through this blog you can learn from my experiences, as well.
