I built a tiny house to reduce my monthly housing expenses, but I also wanted to reduce my monthly grocery bill by growing my own food. One of those goals was that I wanted to grow my own source of fish.
Aquaponics seemed like it could be the answer. The premise behind aquaponics is awesome; The waste from the fish is used to fertilize the plants, and the roots of the plants filter out the water for the fish. It creates a closed loop system in which you can grow your own fish and produce.
I was sold on the concept.
I spent thousands of dollars building a system in a greenhouse, and converted my dining room area into a fish breeding operation. See the rest of the story in the link below.
