This is a current HOT topic in Galion.
In that this blog is about aquaponic gardening, of course we are going to promote it.
However, we have listed below a few examples of other community efforts in conventional 10' x 20' plots of in-ground gardening. For those thinking in those terms I would like to suggest that they consider planning for raised beds, table-top boxes, other container gardening, and directed self-watering methods. We do want to include youth and seniors and the bend-over impaired (like me = getting down is easy, getting back up is a challenge) don't we?
Larry Hall's videos on self-watering and other clever economical set-ups are available on YouTube and under our Horizontal Rails Tab. Be sure to check out his Kiddie Pool set-up as well for cluster watering.
