“The garden stuff is my aquaponic system. There are 100 baby trout growing in the tanks. This whole event has made me think of how precarious out food  system is. I think the responsible thing to do is grow your food if you can. Our setup is pretty small . I would like to double the capacity over the course of this summer. ” OA
