Sup ladies and gents!
Been awhile since i've been active on this forum.... first off... How have you guys been ^_^ me myself is doing alright... To all new members... WELCOME! =)
Now to the point... My family and I are on the process of moving once we do find a house that we can buy... with that said, my wife gave me the permission to finally let me build a pond on the back yard when the time comes... its not going to be a huge pond due to the fact that I want to keep some turtles in there... reason being is, i want spotted turtles... I've done my fair share of gathering infos on the little guys and im super excited about it! I've raised and breed Greek Tortoise (T.G. Graecas) so im fairly knowledgeable on the DOs and DONTs...
With that in mind, I wanted my pond to be part of an aquaponic system where i can grow food... Any of you guys have ever done this? Since turtle waste are a lot more compaired to fishes, i figure its not really a good idea... Also due to the salmonella... For the mean time, I do plan to grow some food on the aquaponic system for my tortoises just so i can cut down on the cost...
Would love to hear you guys opinion...
