BARREL AQUAPONICS WORKSHOP

Aquaculture International will be conducting this practical workshop to be held at Camp Living Water near Bryson City, N.C., March 10 & 11, 2008. Instruction will focus on small-scale aquaponics, which is the combining of aquaculture and hydroponics for mutual benefit. Included in presentations will be barrel system construction, selecting fish and plants to produce, management practices, maintaining water quality, system balance, day-by-day operation, producing your own feed and considerations for expansion in various environments.

Each attendee will learn to construct a variety of highly productive, small-scale system from barrels and buckets, capable of producing fish and a large variety of vegetables, greens & herbs. This will serve as an innovative educational facility for students, an effective “helps ministry” outreach or a pilot learning facility before expanding to a larger operation.

This pre-conference workshop will lay a good foundation for getting the maximum benefit from attending the Aquaponics Conference. Note the discount for attending both.
