As we’re getting close to having all the parts of our system in place I thought it’d be fun to have a look back at how our plans have turned into reality. It’s quite an interesting story in images:
We started off with the first plans for our large Aquaponics system
These went through lots of refinements to maximize the use of space and got to the current “final design” for our Aquaponic system
Then we got into the Eco-House and could finally start measuring up for the polytunnel
And then after one great weekend the frame of our Aquaponic polytunnel was up:
And then, after a weekend away and a bit of dithering, the Aquaponic fish tanks and Growbeds arrived at it started to look a lot like the Large Aquaponic System Plans.
Getting pretty close now! Just got to get the stands and plumbing done!
OK, there’s no going back now – we’ve ordered the polytunnel – 14′ x 28′ of growing space for the aquaponics. Now I have to get my act together and order all the other bits!
We’re getting our polytunnel through First Tunnels – they’ve been great, really helpful, a good price, and a really easy-to-use website. Plus they’re relatively local (Lancashire).
It could be here by Friday, so I’ve been busy marking out where it’s going to go – very exciting!
In case you’ve forgotten what it’s going to look like – here’s the latest design for the interior!
