Hi. I live in rural middle Tennessee. I farm for a living, mostly berries. My wife and I also run a local buying club.

I have a system; some call it aquaponic, some call it vermiponic. I call it aquaculture. Essentially, I feed worms (ensenia fetida) in a gravel bed that floods and drains about once an hour. The bed drains into a sump which is pumped to 5 other beds where I grow various vegetables. This is system is at heart of my interest in BSF.

I look forward to learning and sharing here.

Jim

Hi Jim, we're very happy to have you as a member. I'm looking forward to hearing about your system and sharing ideas about BSF.

Hi Jim, I have seen videos with worms in gravel for aquaponics but it looked like it was for a filter and tied into the loop before returning to the fish tank. I guess I will look for your feed on a aquaponic topic rather than here at the introduction section but your input would be appreciated. Does your system have worms only or is there fish being grown. Welcome. I will try to post a link to the video I saw online. I think there is already a feed for aquaponics on this forum.

Brandon,
