Someone contacted me through the contact form on here,their message

Aquaponics: Vegetables and fish, family level

During several months, I researched aquaponics for my daughter and

selected a great deal of information from sometimes contradictory

sources. By comparing and logical selection, I prepared 40 pages of links

to many selected sources of outstanding information. This free document

with many, many links (one link provides over 900 YouTube videos)

could be valuable for helping people start aquaponics projects. Obviously,

most of these videos have not been viewed personally and common sense

will determine if there is value in each presentation.

For preppers, survival is important, but having products to barter in a

‘last case’ scenario is also important. A low cost system is fairly easy to

learn and expand in modular form. A new grower may be considering a

commercial operation, but do so only after several years of careful study

and practical experience at the family level.

There is no cost for this information, so there is no further support by

me. From the links to hundreds of sources, you will find many willing

to take your money for consulting.

This Preliminary research has hundreds of open source links for anyone’s

use, especially for free distribution to beginners. This resource is based on

the experience of dozens around the world. A mistake from ignorance

means dead fish! Using these references could save a beginner a lot of

sweat, tears, and money. Most aquaponics gurus (except commercial firms

selling kits) do not believe anyone should buy a commercial kit but should

DIY with barrels, flat side-IBCs, wood and plastic tanks, and use gravity,

pool pumps, and simple filters, worms, and pea gravel for their project.

Aquaponics spamming is exceedingly annoying, yet a Google search for

“Aquaponics” produced over 3 million hits – people are interested.

Many of us believe aquaponics is the agriculture system of the 21st

Century. Growth has been slow since 900 A.D., or maybe 3,000 BC.

This information will save a lot of time for beginners. This is a no-cost,

open source document for anyone, but not for commercial use. There is a PowerPoint presentation providing pictures instead of many thousands

of words.

Please reply with an email address that can receive 10 MB of files for the free information. I have no commercial connections.

Sounds like a scam.

With the free and easily accessible file hosting these days I see no reason to not upload, and then create a post on the forum linking to the content if distribution was the main goal. The content would also be web searchable if it was hosted, furthering its distribution.
