Hi,
I am beginning to start the work on making my home a model of
low-tech sustainability in an urban (San Francisco) environment. What I am
starting may be good for students to also do. Its incorporating fish farming
with vegetable growing inside a low-cost greenhouse.

We are digging a long trench about 3 feet deep 3feet wide for the fish and a
separation for the fingerlings. A solar pump will pump the fish water to
tubes that will soak the root balls of the plants suspended in cups held by
vertical structures and back to the fish (oxygenated and cleaned). I hope to
feed the fish worms from the composting toilet, which I also hope to build
soon.

I have no experience doing this, though I have talked to Anna Edey who has
seen this in N. Carolina and has experience with greenhouses (see book
Solviva), and others. Wish me luck and feel free to send me any advise you
may have, thanks.
