Mods, hope this is okay. Figured it might be a good idea for anons to grow their own food.
With shortages in stores and more likely coming, just thought I'd share this link on aquaponics. I plan to get my husband to buy a few IBC totes so we can get started. You can grow plants and raise fish for your family in a 45" x 45" space. The link is to an Australian site but is an excellent resource. I want a couple to grow bunches of vegetables in one and lots of fruit in the other. As long as we're investing the time, I'm buying heirloom seeds to get the most nutrition and no GMO's. You can purchase used totes. Of course, just use those that have carried food grade liquid.

Please share any information or links you have!
My husband was a farmer for decades and I had a salt water aquarium for about 6 years, so we have a little experience. While I understand the difficulty, aquaponics is something I've studied since about 2012. The uncertainty we all face right now has encouraged me to give it a try. Luckily, it's not a super expensive experiment. Thanks for your advice though, it is appreciated.
