My name is Jennifer, and I'm the flock tender here (site updater and tweaker, feeder and waterer of content, helper of Cornelia). I love it that you’ve just joined the HOMEGROWN crew and you’re already such a part of the community. Thanks for sharing that fantastic video. Anything else you want to share, please do! We’ve got a new photo gallery for gardening bragging rights called Hey, I Grew That! and we’d love it if you kept us updated on your adventures in aquaponics by posting to our member blog, The Stew. It’s A-OK to re-post here if you’ve got an existing blog elsewhere.
