Start Growing Your Own Food Now
As things really start to degrade across the USA, one thing becomes apparent; people need to make sure they have their own healthy food supplies readily available.
How can this be? The way Monsanto creates seeds makes the very protein inside of the seed toxic to everything, including the human gut.
If you haven't seen Dr Thierry Vrain's video on this subject about gene mutation I suggest you watch it. He should know about seeds because he was once a scientist himself who studied nemotodes in the soil and the genetics of seeds. The video is about an hour long but well worth the eye opening education he teaches.
The only way people can really make sure their family are eating better foods is to grow their own. No matter what you see labelled in the stores, USDA Organic labels can mean just about anything now. I'm not trying to scare anyone but rather give people the facts.
Just because you hear something from an official representative, doesn't mean it's true. How many times have we been told something from our local, state and federal representatives only to find out we have been lied to? Think about what is being told to you, do some of your own research and then draw upon a conclusion you feel is right for your family.

So what can a person do to make sure their food is safe?
Aquaponics is a fantastic method of growing, where a person can feel safe in knowing they are eating healthy foods. There are some things upfront you should know before spending money.
I would strongly encourage people to educate themselves first about the biology and technology needed to maintain a succesful system. Too many times people jump in head first and quickly become frustrated with the process of aquaponics.
It's not hard to manage aquaponics but don't spend wasted money, you may need later for purchasing kits and fish. You don't need to spend a fortune to have a successful system either. Aquaponics can be interesting and educational for everyone. For the most part you can make the set up process fun for you and the kids.
Figure out where you are going to be keeping the system first like a greenhouse, basement or garage. Then ask yourself some of these questions before setting up any system:
- How many people in the family will you need to feed?
- How many grow beds and fish tanks will you need to sustain the family?
- What are the average temperatures in your area?
- Does it get really cold or hot where you live?
- What fish species will you be raising?
- Can you get a healthy supply of local fish?
- Do you understand the science, biology and basic health care for fish?
- What is the right sized water pump needed?
- Will you be using PVC or HDPE and what's the difference?
If you haven't already read the Essential Fish Care In Aquaponics I suggest you take a look. The book gives readers a good understanding of the basic science and biology needed to raise healthy fish. It also goes over subjects like natural feeding, ammonia, nitrates, nitrites, water and oxygen which are also important. There are 13 good reviews and many people have found it to be a very useful guide to have around. With about 65 pages it's not a long read but a rather a worthwhile one.
We also encourage people to sign up to receive the ASC Magazine each month. We will send you a great online E-Magazine filled with information and stories from people who are growing food in the aquaponics industry.
We also have a regular staff of people who are teaching others about natural products, permaculture, technology and other ways to grow food.
The ASC Magazine is dedicated to teaching people how to become more sustainable. It is a good deal at $2.97 a month. The cost alone, makes this magazine an awesome price. It will cost you less than one cup of coffee at Starbucks.
