My Experience at Growing Power One of the green houses there used for plant production…

Aquaponics SystemGrowing Power uses this type of aquaponics system because it is easy to build and only needs a small pump and heat to get the system running.

The SystemThe water flowing from the growing beds back into the tank of fish..

Growing Power.. And Fish?• Originally found in Africa, Tilapia has

been farmed for more than 2,500 years. Tilapia is a perfect fish for aquaponics because of its rapid growth, large size, and because it tastes great.

• Perch is a species of perch found in the United States and Canada and is a glacial lakes species. They prefer cooler water which makes them ideal to raise in hoop houses at Growing Power.

Animals I Worked With (G.P.) currently has 350 living chickens that lay 16 dozen eggs a day.. (G.P.) has 20 Alpine and Saanen goats on

our urban farm here in Milwaukee.
