Hi there folks. Have knocked together this Chop & Flip Aquaponic barrel system build which I think is a great way for you to cut your teeth growing your own Aquaponic produce in a small system. The compact nature of this system means that it would easily fit in small courtyards & most balconies/decks.
I’ve included a list of parts I’ve used bellow as well as links to videos mentioned in the clip above.
Would love to know how you go if you decide to have a crack at building your own.
