    Aquaponics/hydroponics anyone?

    I have a hydroponic setup. I'm also thinking about converting it to an aquaponics system. My issue is sourcing the fish.

    Solar Array as Goat and Sheep Shelter?

    I'd say that the space underneath is about 20' -ish at the highest point, 3' at the lowest. There's about 2 1/2' between the ground and the panels, at the lowest point of the day.

I also have a tiny hydroponics system that grows lettuce currently. I want to expand to aquaponics, but that's for the spring.

    Hello! I'm a chicken-raiser from eastern Canada. I enjoy gardening (30ft x 60ft), canning, and trying to be self-sufficent (eventually!) I've got 13 and a half acres of goodness and laughter, with plenty of woodland and swamp, as well as a solar array. I don't know much, but I'm here and eager...
