Adrian Southern,Whelm King Gardening & Landscape Design They take you through the motions, but they really have no understanding of what they are doing. If your looking for a hobby grow, this book is for you, but if your looking for something serious then this is not for you. They don’t even explain the nitrogen cycle, one of the most important parts about any farming. Zero useful information. Nothing but a cookie cutte C- college project. I wish you luck in your journeys

Best Adrian Southern,Whelm King Gardening & Landscape Design Gives good basics to set up a aquaponics greenhouse.Has some formulas to work on volumes and flow rates for growing bedsDiscusses most aspects of growing in fluid and shares problems with systems to watch out/prepare for.Will allow you to set up a green house and succeed at growing hydroponically.This is a great starter and if you follow guidelines will give you a working greenhouse.Like everything else in life doing it is the key.I like the book and will be using this to build a system to grow herbs and types of tomatoes and try strawberries vertically.

Adrian Southern,Whelm King Gardening & Landscape Design Adrian is certainly a pioneer of cold water aquaculture systems. With so many system designs and ways of going about aquaponics, the authors offer a streamlined system with proven success. This college level text got me out of swimming in internet misinformation to deciding this can be a reality. Tilapia systems are typically talked about and studied, but I am in a colder climate and was excited to hear of this book. It is as efficient as the system and process it details. The first 5 chapters take you through the complete build with pictures. The last half describes operations and provides forms. Advancements in algae based feed make this an exciting time to raise trout and would make this the most sustainable cold water operation. Aquaponics offers a solution to the net pen and traditional aquaculture pollution. I am excited to tour the farm as well. Thank you for putting so much thought and organization into this world changing book and process. Considering online courses cost around $1,000, and I recommend these as well, this was the best ~$25 bucks I've ever spent. Use the formulas in the book to scale up or down, or just follow the blueprint and get started!
