Description
The majority of the lectures in this Aquaponic Tutorial are what Udemy refers to as a Video / Presentation Mashup. That is, on the left, you will see a video of myself or Alan (my husband and partner) talking and demonstrating, and on the right, you will see PowerPoint slides with details to help you understand the concepts. But you don't have to do anything; the slides will simply appear at the appropriate time!
At the end of this aquaponic gardening course, I've written a series of articles and blog posts that I think are especially relevant to new aquaponic gardeners who are smitten with this growing technique (and I hope that's you!) and want to delve deeper. The first article, titled "Aquaponic Gardening Rules of Thumb," is a summary of many of the concepts, principles, and ratios discussed in the course.
