The Hunger Games Election
The Hunger Games Election
This obviously isn’t a politics blog, and I haven’t written about politics here before.
But we just witnessed the most striking American political moment of my lifetime, and it occurred to me to me that the readership of this blog probably splits about half-and-half between urban liberals and rural conservatives, the split that defined this election. Feeling humbled and awed by the moment, I…

Predatory Insects For Indoor Aquaponics
Contrary to popular belief, pest control is still an issue for the indoor gardener. In fact, dealing with insects can be more difficult for indoor growers than it is for outdoor growers.

5 Tricks To Reducing Fish Stress
5 Tricks To Reducing Fish Stress
It’s the little things in life that will kill you.
Many fish can tolerate a few improper conditions in the fish tank, but just because your fish are alive, don’t think they aren’t being affected. Improper tank conditions often result in fish stress. And when fish are exposed to several seemingly small improprieties, that stress can end up compounding and weakening the fish’s ability to deal with…

It’s one of my favorite ways to stay grounded to nature; here’s nothing that connects me to the world like composting. Decomposition is nature’s method of waste disposal and bio-remediation, condensing, purifying, and recycling through the power of microorganisms. Compost is a great way to get…

It’s time to get into the how-to behind one of my all time favorite gardening tools: compost tea.
If you’re not familiar with compost tea, the particular method of tea we’re making here is known as ACT (Aerated Compost Tea). ACT is created by soaking quality compost in a container of water and then extracting the water soluble nutrients and beneficial microorganisms from the compost and into the…

Review: United Nations Aquaponics Manual
Review: United Nations Aquaponics Manual
Since I published the Zero to Hero Aquaponics Construction Manual, I’ve gotten numerous requests for an operations manual. I’ve been resistant to writing one, largely because it would take hundreds of pages and still fail to cover many situations.
Well, now there’s a manual out there – for free.
The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization recently put out this documentwhich…

Merry Christmas from Frosty Fish!
Merry Christmas from Frosty Fish!
Diamonds are the purest expression of love.
… or so a jeweler once told my friend Steve.

For some people, fish is the purest expression of love. I’m one of these.*
How would you like to be able to say to the do-it-yourselfer you love:
Dude, here’s some stuff for that fish hobby of yours.
This Christmas, give from the…

Aquaponic Economics ~ Fish Selection
Aquaponic Economics ~ Fish Selection
In my last post, I discussed some options for raising fish in a cold climate. This post discusses which fish to raise, based on the economics.
