Affiliations
- My free time I'm an avid outdoor enthusiast fishing hiking nature watching. Also I grow a garden every year and enjoy working with plants. Have been a hobbyist hydroponic technique developer creating a hydroponic system then operates outside with sunlight and utilizes the ground to keep ebb and flow and flood and drain liquids cool while giving plants full benefit of direct sun. Have a future gardening Project based on those techniques to be hybridized with aquaponics with the use of fish emulsion for fertilizer and the fish as another product.
