Bill Carlson is co-owner of Mountainside Lavender Farm outside Portland Oregon and is expanding into aquaponics. In this episode of the podcast we talk about: CHOP (Constant Height One Pump) systems, growing in colder climates, non muddy tasting catfish, pollinating aquaponics plants, subscription farming, Meet up Groups, and a great tip on finding cheap hydroton.

And here is a video (http://video-embed.oregonlive.com/services/player/bcpid1949055967001?bctid=3857195443001&bckey=AQ~~,AAAAPLpuSqE~,a1DdoZJH5WQo4iWaJj1w_CktvJfhQVVG) from the article website.
