The wind is blowing and its going down to about 10 degrees tonight. Tomorrow it is only going to be in the 20's with a strong NW wind. It looks like winter has hit. It will be a few nights of keeping the fires stoked up.
The pumps arrived this evening. They look to be in good shape, I will unpack them tomorrow.
What is Aquaponics? Aquaponics is the cultivation of fish and plants together in a constructed, recirculating ecosystem utilizing natural bacterial cycles to convert fish waste to plant nutrients. This is an environmentally friendly, natural food-growing method that harnesses the best attributes of aquaculture and hydroponics without the need to discard any water or filtrate or add chemical fertilizers.

It's been a few days since the last post. I have changed the flue on the big furnace, it wasn't drawing right. I have most of the ground cloth down. There are two tanks set up with the next two in the process of being installed. I will have to put a support beam in to hold the ends of the grow beds, as I have changed the basic design again. Tomorrow is a ride to the big city with a neighbor. He is going to get some material for his house, and I am going to pick up the greenhouse supplies I have on order. Here are a couple pics of the progress so far.
Here is the back up heater, that will double as a water heater if need be.
just so you know, the heater is the brownish thing in the middle with the fan on top :)
