since I do not like the pond fish much myself, we so far have not tried out the aquapondic - have looked at it in detail though. great thing you did try it out! Maybe I should give this another thought... Our main prepping point is seeds... and educating all around us on the importance of old seeds, meaning non F1hybrid, non gmo.... prepping for shtf and at the same time just enjoying life every single day is the most important thing for us. When we decided to do it "all the way", we said to ourselves and anyone who asked - no matter if anything happens, this is the life we want to lead.... in many ways the overcome tourmoils of the past could be overcome because of the rural farmers and every rural household having the knowledge and the garden.... gratefull for your post :-) <3
