Greetings from the heat of Texas

Howdy there, my name's Brandon, but most people call me Shimmy. I just recently discovered this site while attending Zest Fest 2009 in Ft. Worth. I only managed to blow around a C-note on sauces there... As most here I would assume, I have what some would call an unnatural fascination with peppers. I like watching the plants grow, I like seeing the pods develop, I like burnin the f#%$ out of myself time and time again. I purchased a live Jolokia plant of the Internets and now have a beautiful bush with buds and flowers hanging all over it [no peppers as yet, but I can smell them starting...:lol:]. The Ghost shares the back yard with 16 other pepper plants. This year is a bit scattered with plants grounded in various places in the yard and the majority in containers strewn about the yard as I am still working out the best spots and determining if I want to go all container or all dirt. My user name comes from what I plan on naming my pepper company once I get my s*%^ together. My dream is to have aquaponic (using dirty fish water to supply nutrients) peppers for harvest and make bonzai pepper plants with a hydroponic system.
 
Gday and welcome, I too am currently setting up a small permacultre farm here in Oz ;)
Good luck ! We may be able to bounce some ideas.

Hey Shimmy! Welcome from Fremantle Western Australia! Drop me a line if you need a hand with anything! Im In the midst of building an aqua ponic system actually....Fremantle as a town is one of the leading areas in Aus for that style of growing (fish and Plants respectively) good stuff!
 
Greetings from sunny Queensland, Australia.

I'm going to give aquaponics a go as well, a mate of mine has a good setup and has offered to help me to set one up.
 
Aquaponics... Shimmy has joined the fray aswell.

Good luck Shimmy!

I am sure we all will have good and bad ideas during the setup process.
 
Welcome from Fort Worth neighbor...
