Backyard aquaponics as self-sustained farm in (sub)urban LA

Scott Henley wanted to prove he could turn the backyard of his modest Pasadena (Los Angeles) home into a working farm. “Part of the experiment was could you potentially have your typical family- 2 working adults, children-, could you make a small lot like this- this is 8,000 square feet- produce enough to eliminate the need for one of the parents to go to work someplace.”
