This year I helped build an aquaponics system at my community,
Sunflower River. We live in the desert southwest of the United
States, and I found that our aquaponics system had some unique
challenges and created some unique opportunities: We worked
very hard to minimize evaporation and water loss, and discovered
that the system was outstanding for starts, transplants, and
root cuttings. A use I hadn't imagined when I started.
My co-designer Rev Tsolwizar and friend Mattie Greenman made
a short video giving an overview of the system:

Have a look and tell me what you think!
