WEI Aquaponics Workshop Sept 15-16th

Will Allen of Growing Power, at WEI

Wanna learn more about aquaponics and meet Will Allen of Growing Power, but can't make it to Milwaukee? Every year WEI (Women's Environmental Institute) hosts an aquaponics (and so much more!) training weekend a bit outside of North Branch, a less than an north of the Twin Cities.

I attended two years ago, and I may be talking briefly this year. We're also working on including a tour of my greenhouse, probably on Sunday afternoon, after everything else is over.

• Hoophouse Building
• Composting and Vermiculture
• Four Season Growing in Minnesota

New video tour of greenhouse

Hi all!

I know I seriously owe a thorough update on what's been happening at the greenhouse. But until I get that written, watch a video!

Includes progress on the mostly-constructed 2nd greenhouse, starting around 3:00, and a quick view of the catfish, at 4:45. Full video is 7:30 long.

I also went out (with my new intern, Jack) to Bossy Acres last Thursday to help harvest, and to pick up some selling and marketing tips.

Holy cabbage, Bossy!
