We are planning our greenhouse and aquaponics setup now, and hoping to being the build by early fall. I am planning to have a "red neck" geo-thermal setup in the slab of the greenhouse, to help with the winter heating. I will likely have a wood burning stove also.
I am planning to power the Aquaponics with Solar, although we do have power available, I plan not to use it if I can manage it. We also have water available. Do you have any pointers or suggestions that I should keep in mind before building this out, or during the startup of the system?
Not sure where you are located but if its north of me, have a barrel stove installed in you greenhouse. It worked great and was cheap.
A rocket mass heater works even better. I considered Aquaponics but living off grid as you pointed out does not make this a viable option. For us it was simply a matter of power for the pumps. We could not guarantee we would ahve consistant power to run the system.
