<p>Today on the podcast Kelly and I head to a unique homesteading supply shop called the <a href="http://kingsroost.com/">King’s Roost</a> to talk to the owner, Roe Sie, about aquaponics. During the show we discuss:</p>
<ul>
<li>What kind of growing medium to use</li>
<li>Types of fish</li>
<li>Water quality</li>
<li>What female fish look like</li>
<li>How to get an aquaponics system going</li>
<li>How much it&#8217;s going to cost</li>
<li>Troubleshooting</li>
</ul>
<p>Roe gives a tour of his aquaponic system in this video:</p>
