Hi,
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Robbie Olson. I am new to the Steem community so please bear with me as I learn the ropes.
In 2008 I walked away from a home building career and have been on a journey of discovery ever since.
This Journey started with my fascination with tesla and his electrical physics. I began doing experiments, soon those experiments led to quantum physics, electrical magnetic experimentation, biological interactions with electromagnetics, energy generation, and more.
Then, while looking for ways to be more self-reliant, I found myself delving into processed food, pharmaceuticals, and related subjects. This ultimately led to years of study and hands on experience with aquaponics.
I became very frustrated during those years because much of the information I was finding left me woefully uninformed. I built system after system and had crashes with everything lost many times. I read books, and took multiple online courses, yet there was nothing out there that was actually SOLVING any of my problems. Nearly everything was just rearrangement of the same old things that failed once before, or was attempts at patching up a failing system. The underlying causes of these failures were never directly addressed.
I eventually DID find the answers I needed, but not in any aquaponics book, video, or course.
Done correctly aquaponics can give us explosive growth of plants and fish, WITHOUT ALL OF THE PITFALLS seen with many systems common on the web. Once I had learned the machinery of how and why aquaponics works in certain ways and doesn’t work in other ways, I felt compelled to write a book of my own. I am astonished, even to this day, how little of the essential information is actually taught, even at college levels on aquaponics.
Aquaponics offers us the opportunity to begin the process of reversing some of the damage being done to our food supply through modern farming methods. We can become less dependent on the food trucks that run just in time to keep the shelves at the supermarket full. We can have nutrient rich food, grown organically with no harmful pesticides. I have even seen food allergy reversals from eating home grown organic food.
Nature has some beautiful machinery for us to work with. All we have to do is KNOW how to use it to our advantage.
I am currently in the middle of moving my operation to a 40 acre farm where I can expand out with as many systems as I want. When I rebuild in early 2019 I will be offering classes and hands on training. If you think you may be interested in taking the classes or purchasing my book, please contact me, I will put you on a list and notify you when they are available.
Anyways, I will post more in the near future. In the mean time here are some pics of my actual system in use.
