<b>In the past when we've sent out newsletters on Fridays, we've missed people somehow. So, we're sending out the exact same newsletter we posted last Friday to give everyone a chance to purchase our new book at the discounted pre-sale price. That's why this
looks familiar! (Then we'll get back to finishing our series on "Energy-Efficient Greenhouses" in the next newsletter).<br>
<br>
We are tremendously excited to announce our brand new, practical book, <i>Aquaponics - The Easy Way!</i> is ready for sale. </b>It's<b> very</b> different from any of the other aquaponic gardening books; it does not just give you a list of how many different
ways you can do aquaponics, which leaves you wondering what to do next. Instead we show you
<b>how to actually build and operate three differently-sized, fully-functional aquaponics systems!</b><br>
<br>
<b>If you're interested in learning more about aquaponics, or would like to introduce someone else to Aquaponics, there is simply no better book.
</b>We cover the chemistry, biology, and technology of aquaponics in a clear yet scientific manner, based on six years of practical experience operating a large commercial aquaponics farm, with 100% practical applications.
<br>
<br>
<b>But you don't need to understand these things</b> in order to be <b>successful</b> with your aquaponic garden. This is because our book explains the "nuts and bolts" of aquaponic gardening in clear, concise language so that
<b>you understand how it works, and what to do</b>, and you can <b>all</b> duplicate our success with it.<br>
<br>
This is not a "look how much we know" book; it's a <b>"look how easily you can do it"</b> book. It's a book designed for
<b>your personal success</b> building and operating a small aquaponic garden. We also detail easy "next steps" you can take if your ambition leads
<b>you</b> beyond your first small garden. <br>
<br>
<b>What's most important</b> to the newcomer on a budget, it contains complete plans, materials lists, and instructions for building 3 different sized aquaponics systems (3.5, 12, and 18 square feet) from common materials purchased at your local Home Depot
or Lowes, plus a couple items from PetCo. <b><i>An additional benefit is that our economical systems work better than others costing hundreds or thousands of dollars more.</i></b><br>
<br>
While our publishing wizard Susanne wraps up the final formatting on the last few chapters, we're offering a presale
<b>discount of 33%</b> on the book if you <b>purchase now</b>. Although it will be $29.95 when finished, you can purchase now for only $19.95, and it will download automatically to you when finished.<br>

old refrigerators and door frames; this makes aquaponics <u>much more</u> economical to get started in, and fun too!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

get an earlier start; or we’d have twenty five now instead of just four. Susanne was 37 and I was 48 when we met in 2000. We didn’t so much “decide” to have a family as ignore all the fears and social conditioning we heard all our lives that said: “Women have
kids when they’re under 30, and couples have families when they’re in their ‘20’s and ‘30s”. I’m glad we did!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:white">We were in our first “real” house when Susanne gave birth to Lucky; we’d had Jack (a year and a half older) while living in a rented studio apartment on the second
floor of an old warehouse (how we got Susanne’s “birth tub” up the stairs and filled it without collapsing the old warehouse’s creaky floor is another story!).

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:white">Susanne had liked the tub idea with Jack, so I put in a jacuzzi tub on the back porch of our new house. Our “new” house had been built in 1938, but that’s yet another
story; we’d fixed it up quite nicely, and at ages 39 and 50, respectively, were just another young married couple in their first home, having their second child.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:white">Lucky came along, and our friend and midwife Nina attended the birth. Everything went well, and soon we had a new baby boy, ten pounds one ounce, right out where
we could see him. We oohed and aahed, and held Baby Jack up so he could see the new baby.

look, and we went “what?”.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:white">She'd heard a sound that indicated Lucky’s lungs weren’t functioning very well. She said: “we need to get your baby to the hospital to be checked!”, and explained
that Lucky had “meconium aspiration syndrome”. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:white">It means Lucky had pooped and breathed some of it in while in the birth canal. Babies normally breathe the amniotic fluid of their mother’s womb in and out during
their development, and are born with some of this fluid in their lungs; it doesn’t harm them at all.

syndrome and aren’t affected much because they have a slight case of it. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:white">Lucky had an extremely severe case of it, and his life was in danger. Without spoiling the story, I can say that Nina’s training and professionalism allowed her
to correctly diagnose this situation; and things would have turned out very differently without her.
