Thank you very much. I will have to check out this certified payback program. Used my gi bill at one "institution" already. I wish they would have just gave me land instead...

Does anyone happen to know if he accepts the gi bill?

I think not, still. Unless something changed.

Found this also, and it makes me smile.

Thank you Jeff

Hugelkultur is from what i understand is burying wood and often times it is done in sporadic planting and even a seed mixture. I planted in rows and i hae seen other do it. In my greenhouse im about to build i plan on using soil mix and some hugel style methods as well. Also wood breaking down gets spongy and sucks up water. Save the clay for cob for a rocket mass heater for greenhouse

And idk yet but im guessing i would keep the numbers down in order to have bigger fish like aquapotics and talapia in barrels or ibc totes or whatever. Everything will be experimental. Too many fish = fertilizer?

Thank you for feedback this community is awesome. I have though of greenhouse over pond and i think it would be pretty easy too. And would work well with rocks being put around and in water all along the north side to retain heat.

I will look into the airrators deeper and now you guys got me thinking of connecting the hoophouse and pond together.

Ive always wanted to do like the Aztecs and asians and grow on a lake or canal by building floating grow beds from earth (i just thought that was the coolest idea). And now you motivated me. Ill be sure to leave some spots on the surface for the fish

Sunfish and bass are also reg fish for se.indiana. And yes i plan on eating the fish but now i will be concentrating on the large aquapontics system with micro link. And ty for the link. Also making the sides of greenhouse roll up and catch water and divert to lake or barrel but prob lake cuz it is going to be just a couple feet.away.

Thank you again for feedback guys.

Thank you very much for your reply. I would get sunlight from sun of course and the north side of greenhouse would have black barrels to retain heat along with a rmh. Bluegill are local here so i dont HAVE to keep them warm but just want to keep the pond warmer so that the oxygen plants can thrive due to smaller pond size. Im unsure of what a minimum pond size has to be in order to keep fish alive and keep pond pump free?

Thanks again for your reply
