Reading through info on small farming/food on another site, led to an area on aquafarming written in the early 70s by Kurt Saxon & Organic Gardening. One article is here:
www.kurtsaxon.com/foods007.htm

and a second, more formal set-up (suggests using maggots as additional food)--www.kurtsaxon.com/foods006.htm

The first site has a lot of info links, some free some not but all geared toward small production, cheap. journeytoforever.org/farm_pond.html

Now back to poultry & pastures...

This may sound gross but would maggots work. Road kill in a bucket is easy.

I've seen Tilapia farms in MN and SD. I delivered replacement food to them due to tainted ingredients during the Chinese food poisoning. A self replenishing, natural food supply for them would be a necessity.

Hey Mountain Tracker,

Probably will be to cold, could use the hot tub though.

Chris, I just thought you might want to know this piece of information so you can make some adjustments... Out here, five 1,500 gallon septic systems froze solid that I know of, mine was one of them so unless one had the room in the house to maintain such a large capacity of water for fish, and kept the house from freezing, I'd be frightful to try something outdoors during the winters here.

Enjoyed the article though!

First read about this in CountrySide Mag and thought it was a great idea. I would love to try a system like this in the future, got too many iron in the fire now. Great post.

Another great one for the to-do list. And it seems the Collective Unconscious is at work - just had another similar post in my RSS reader.

Very cool. Great article. I wonder if their is a species that is more suitable for further north? Obviously, they wouldn't grow as fast, but that's ok, if you're harvesting them for meat rather than profit
