    Hi Ande

    I will keep these trout in the system at least until some of my other fish grow. (Weather and temperatures permitting) I would like to get to a stage where I can harvest 2 to 4 fish a week and still maintain a good stocking level.

    Cheers

    Thanks Pugo

    We are getting a lot of enjoyment as well as food from this garden. Maybe half a dozen chickens would complete the picture.

    Cheers

    I like Quail myself. You can keep many more quail in a small area that you can keep chickens. Quail eggs are more healthy for you and meat is good too.. If you use battery cages you can keep a 1000 quail in 4x8 foot area. If you compost the quail poop you can use it in the garden..
