In this video I talk about aquaponic systems and where, when and if they make sense. I specifically address the most common questions that I get which include:


Do Aquaponics Systems make sense? 
What are some of the design and decision metrics that I use to determine if  the system makes sense?
What climates to Aquaponic systems work in?
What are some of the challenges with them?
What do I love about these systems?
What do I think is less than great about them?
How do these systems rate when compared to soil based gardening systems?
Do they increase food security?
