Picking from "the patch"

I have been investing a considerable amount of time into researching aquaponics over the last six weeks. While there is hardly any information about the topic in traditional media, there are a number of great resources on the internet. Generally they fall into two categories: aquaponic supply businesses and individuals blogging about their own experiences.
It seems that there are more aquaponic gardeners in Australia than anywhere else. I am guessing that this might be because of water limitations for outside gardens, where in Europe and the US, water usage is generally less restricted. There are a number of good resources in the US as well, but it seems like it is more "experimental", although I am not sure if Australians would describe aquaponics as "mainstream".
The above blog, Picking from "the patch" is an excellent blog by an Australian family documenting their harvest from their backyard aquaponics garden. I have learned a bunch from this site and have enjoyed reading the daily progress of their garden.
