John Plants has a degree in Agricultural Economics from the University of California and an MBA from the University of Chicago. He has a large, thriving aquaponic setup in their backyard greenhouse in Boulder powered by tilapia, catfish, bluegill and other creatures-that-swim. He also writes for the Aquaponic Gardening Blog, Maximum Yield Magazine and other publications about aquaponics and its exciting potential. Much of the food on his dinner table is homegrown. He likes to experiment with various gardening methods and find new ways to grow bountiful crops year-round. He wants to share his knowledge showing how easy and rewarding it is to set up your own prosperous garden. In his opinion, you do not need a huge budget to get started. When you do get started, you will soon feel, and taste, the benefits of growing your own food. He is always looking for new experiments about cultivation and he decided to write his own books to share with other people his experience and his secrets about this world.
