We started building the system in early March 2009, using as much recycled material as possible.
The blue drums used for the grow beds are recycled plastic drums used for transporting food. These were cut in half, end to end, and supported on a wooden frame. The green tank is a 500 litre tank (not recommended for potable water, but I didn't know that at the time) that we used for the fish - we have two of these lined up in series.

That is really cool. I love getting new ideas about growing food. Where can I get those blue drums. Do any stores give them away after using?

does the water need to be potable water? I wouldn't think it would have to be?
