Come joins us for our half-day Aquaponics Basics Classes, hosted by Paradigm Gardens. Learn to build a cold-climate aquaponics greenhouse using recycled materials that produces $4000 of fish and greens per year using only $200 of electricity, in a space smaller than your bedroom.
Walk through the basics of aquaponics design, greenhouse design, fish care and selection, water quality, heating, and where to find materials on the cheap.
Learn hands-on with our portable aquaponics trailer.
