We are here to push the movement of aquaponics in a forward direction. Our primary focus is help you in your adventure with aquaponics by providing you with the highest level of information. Aquaponics is still in its infancy and we predict that it will be the go to method of farming by many families and urban farmers. Our job is to ensure that they are taught correctly.
I used to have a dirt garden. And I always had to hoe weeds, fight insects and water, water water and bend over all the time. When I started doing aquaponics, I stood upright and just picked tomatoes off the vines. It was so easy in comparison. No weeds and no watering with aquaponics. So from that perspective aquaponics is so easy. I think that many people who haven't gardened in dirt, growing aquaponically seems like it's not working efficiently, that it takes too much time and needs more work. I loved your story, you really contributed a lot to the art of aquaponics.
Your videos are extremely informative. Thank you for leaving them up. I have surfed your channel and it is really helping me start my journey into it. I hope that you have success in your future adventures.
Waiting to hear how expensive the hobby was and if he decided there wasn't enough profit in making videos after claiming to be an expert, hence the name "School of Aquaponics". Clearly he was able to grow some food, but I cannot help but wonder about the trace minerals that were likely very low in the produce. A key issue has always been what can be produced in a small growing space vs the common larger scale garden/farm space. The basic fact is when electric and plumbing parts are needed to grow food, it is much harder to break even on the cost of the investment compared to what can be grown and eaten over the years. As if maintenance wasn't a significant issue, growing fish to eat is going to blow any budget to bits. It all adds up really fast and the basic things required to keep an aquaponics system healthy and productive are not getting cheaper. Wondering why he just doesn't say; "The profits are too low, be it growing food, or making videos."
I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings but it’s irritating beyond all belief that I bought into your school and then when I had questions and submitted them it was nothing but crickets that could be heard. Then out of nowhere you post this video. Man, I really had higher expectations and that’s from one DV to another.
this was so insightful, deep and valuable self reflection. just found your channel, the school will continue to be a legacy even if you don't run it anymore
Tilapia is garbage fish. No high-end restaurants will serve tilapia. No Japanese restaurants will use tilapia to make sushi because the fish is garbage.
This guy is such a chode lmao. Comes back after years of absence, only to spout off about how he attained total knowledge of aquaponics and then just decided to leave forever?? Without even explaining what it was? Lmao fuck this dude
You strike me as a really AUTHENTIC individual, who has done a great deal of self-reflection. As someone with a Behavioural Science (Psychology) degree who has experienced a lifetime of complex trauma, I wish you the very best in all your future endeavors. It sounds to me like you've worked exceptionally hard, both practically & psychologically to get there. Good luck bro. As someone with a "curious" interest in aquaponics, may I ask you is it a cost-effective (factoring in setup costs & the complexity/time commitment involved), way of growing your own produce on a very small (micro) scale to feed just one person. Or would traditional (soil) growing techniques be more suitable in such a situation? Climate wise, I live in Melbourne, Australia, close to the CBD. BTW, I REALLY like your spinning globe. May I ask, where you got it?
You are one of the first guys I watched do this and kinda got me into it. Wanted to say thank you for the great info you have shared with me and others. Best of wishes for ya in your future endeavors. Take care buddy
Look, nothing is guaranteed in this life, that is certain. From the comments below you should be proud of the affect you've had on people you will never meet. Kissinger famously said, "who controls the food supply controls the people; who controls the energy can control whole continents; who controls money can control the world." I think entrepreneurs who are farming are basically protecting us from "being controlled", so I enjoyed watching your journey and wish you the best luck in whatever your future brings.
Play close attention to the finishing chapter James 1:6-8 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
Hello sir, kindly don’t remove your content off the RU-vid platform. It is an invaluable knowledge present there. Good luck on whatever you wish to achieve further in life. You are gem of a person. Hope to meet you once in lifetime and thank you in person . Love and regards from me. Country:India, State:Haryana, district: Gurgaon. Thanks a lot sir.
Hello sir, just clicked on this video. But what made Aquaponics not worth it? And would you entertain the thought of coming back to it if this unknown variable changed?
Why not leave website up for us to purchase learning material and keep this going. Do you feel your videos provide enough info for someone to go from zero to hero? I mainly want to copy your system was want to purchase blueprint
So what are you doing instead? Please dont tell me you hired a coach that convinced you that the real money is somewhere else... Reading these comments, it seems like a lot of people have come to depend on you. Are you SURE you can't do both? I mean, c'mon, Elon Musk is building cars AND rockets, AND solar panels...
My comment deleted? Seriously? Why??? What did I write that wasn´t true...???? Sorry, but that's poor behavior. I just tried to help people who are really interested in Aquaponics to prevent them from several problems I ran into, years ago when I started Aquaponics.
Will you be starting a podcast? We all have loved your channel for years and waited for your return. You are a great communicator and so we’d expect you to carry that in your new direction. No?
