- If you are in a group, do you feel like each group member is contributing? If yes, what has each member been responsible for? If not, what is your plan to make your group work more effectively?

We worked together to go get the water and set the pump and everything up in the tank.
- Describe your growing technique. Do you feel your understanding is strong enough to present your ideas to a community group? If not, what do you need to find out? Do that research now! We are doing aquaponics and yes I feel I have a strong concept of it to present it to the class. We have done lots of research and have also been and talked to someone who runs a large scale business.
- What is the sustainability goal of your garden project? What practices are you doing to meet your goal? Our sustainability goal for our garden was to grow a few plants and see how this technique worked. We started by potting plants and growing them big enough to then transplant them into the aquaponics system.
