media-based aquaponic garden of your own!
Class Description
Imagine growing vegetables and fish together in your backyard this summer. Now imagine that the only work you need to do after your garden is set up is to feed the fish once a day. No weeds, no watering, no heavy, dirty labor---and the plants are growing at table height for easy access. Aquaponics is a new way of growing plants organically and dirt-free using fish waste as plant food. In this class, you will learn how to set up and operate your own Backyard Aquaponics system, including where to locally source food fish and supplies. An optional field trip will take place on a Saturday to visit an operating aquaponics garden.
Please read: Class will meet on Thursdays March 8th & 15th and then on Saturday, March 17th.
Thursday 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm; 3 sessions starting March 8, 2012, ending March 17, 2012
Tuition: $89.00
Instructor: Bernstein
