Join us for a hands-on aquaponics intensive workshop providing valuable information and skills to grow food for your family and friends. Grow lettuce and greens, or strawberries and herbs in your DWC rafts and tomatoes, peppers, cukes and radishes in your flood and drain media bed in this integrated miniature of the successful Green Acre commercial system. The course fee includes the printed assembly manual with all of the plans and materials to build the system at home. The backyard system is both simple and economical to build. With completely new materials, this system can be built for approximately $500 or less depending on use of recycled materials. Complete kit systems with comparable grow space can cost thousands!

Only a dozen basic tools are needed such as a drill or screw gun, hammer, razor knife, 2 hole saws, a caulk gun, straight edge, staple gun, level and skill or jig saw!
