This month DFW Aquaponics Meetup will be sponsoring a short hands-on workshop to teach
the techniques necessary to build a "strawberry tower" from common PVC
pipe and a few other components. I will have instructions available ($5)
that will detail the steps to build the tower, or we will provide the
instructions along with the materials to build your own 4' tower ($25) [
Please make a comment in your RSVP if you would like materials to build your own tower.]

These structures are a great place to grow Strawberries (obviously),
but also for all types of herbs, greens, and even certain vining plants.
I will specifically discuss how to integrate these growing vessels into
aquaponics systems and how to calculate their bio-filtration
effectiveness.

While our
monthly gathering is primarily focused on promoting the DFW
aquaponics community, we will spend a portion of our time in informal
discussion of what is / is not working in our individual AP systems. We
will have a short troubleshooting session where we will discuss system
designs and any tweaks that we have discovered.
