A Lee's Summit man is providing food for himself by growing vegetables and raising fish in his one-car garage.Dave Howe said he started the hydroponic and aquaponic system as a hobby, and it continued to grow.

Howe is growing cherry tomatoes, broccoli, lettuce and cauliflower. He is also raising goldfish and tilapia.Howe said the garden cost him $1,500 to build. Because it's indoors, he can grow vegetables and raise fish year-round.

How can you eat goldfish??

 

[Juxtaroberto]

Is that all he eats, or is he supplementing the food he buys at the grocery store with home grown stuff? I can't imagine eating just that every day.

They're probably just to make sure the plants get enough nitrate. Tilapia is yummy though.

Never tried eating goldfish. I can't stand eating too much fats.

Oh yes! Tilapia is really yummy! So is the clarias.

Very nice but would have been extremely cooler if he has a monster fish set up in the back ground or wearing a MFK shirt or something. We need to get MFK on TV.

I would really like to know how he has that setup....
