Our Journey back to Homesteading

“Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we instructed you before. Then people who are not Christians will respect the way you live, and you will not need to depend on others."
-- 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12

The beginning of my Aquaponics adventure

I’m officially starting my journey into aquaponics.

I’ve been following a few different people. Such as Friendly Aquaponics, who does a raft based system and commercial farming. However, the investment is just to great for me to get that serious. I do plan on expanding, but for now I just need to get started and learn by doing.

For now I’ll be utilizing Murray Hallam’s method using IBC totes and media beds. I’m pretty excited. I’ll be posting progress updates here on my blog and I hope anyone with questions will just ask.

For now let’s move onto some pictures about my progress.

Cleaning these up worked out well however, once I cut them up I’m definitely going to have to do some more hands on scrubbing. It’s hard to get into the totes in this state and they are going to need some more cleaning.

When I get ready for the next stage I’ll post more pictures.
