Aquaponics 4 You REVIEW

Aquaponics 4 You is a system where fish are fed a balance diet and the effluent from the fish tank is pumped into grow beds where plants thrive on the nutrient rich water. It is developed by John Fay, a certified organic farmer or aquaponics expert.
 
This product contains:
 
-A Video with Step-by-Step Instructions on how to build a scaleable Aquaponics System, which could be a small home setup to a multi-acre system.
-A 62-page manual containing concise information on everything that one should need to setup, build and run an aquaponics venture.
I was actually pleased with the obvious detailed approach the author and aquaponics expert John Fay used when compiling the information for his guide. He obviously took the time to correctly identify and explain the important aspects of the aquaponics process and he covers all the areas where you might have some difficulty if you were to attempt to build your own system without a guide. The ebook is easy to read and understand. 



I read a couple of other reviews of this ebook online before I decided to get my own and my one concern (after reading those reviews) was that this guide would be lacking in content. The other reviews continually preached how “easy to read and understand” this book was and focused on selling me the book in the review rather than clarifying the actual content.

I know from experience that any quality manual/guidebook for a do it yourself system that requires building and assembly needs to be detailed with figures and measurements, not something I would usually associate with easy to read. I certainly didn’t want some guidebook full of pretty aquaponic garden photos and just a basic explanation leaving me guessing as to the proper calculations for the required amount, quantity, area, length, height, depth, and width of the various components of my system.
 
Well the Aquaponics 4 You guide isn’t necessarily “hard” to read (and I want to be honest in this Aquaponics 4 You Review) but it is written for someone who is serious about building their own system and includes professional detailed diagrams and instructions outlining the proper design placements and measurements of all the different parts required for the system to function optimally.
What I really liked about this guide was the fact that John doesn’t just tell you “what” you need but he also tells you “where” to find the parts and components and includes links to online retailers for the more “aquaponic” specific parts that might be hard to find if you are not located close to a specialty organic farming aquaponics shop.
 
Anyone who has ever spent time gardening in soil is aware of how much time and energy can be consumed in tending soil, weed control, watering, and nutrient supply.
 
The only drawback to this guide is that it can’t actually build the aquaponics system for you. I mean just having the guide isn’t enough to make the whole setup come together. You do require the proper tools (the tools required are pretty much outlined in the guide though) and you need to have some mechanical aptitude to build any aquaponics system no matter what guide or instructions you might use.

So don’t be under the impression that once you buy the guide that you can run out to home depot for the parts and just snap them together like an erector set or a box of legos. It will require effort and some concentration on your part.

Of course if you’re a real do it yourself type person you knew that already and you also know there is no greater satisfaction than building something from the ground up with your own two hands.

If you are into gardening and have always aspired to attempt aquaponic gardening, you should really give this guide a try. Even if, for whatever reason, you decide after reading the guide book that aquaponics is not for you personally, you will still find multitudes of gardening tips that you will be able to use in regular gardening. All in all, Aquaponics 4 You can never be a waste of your money or time.
