I've been really interested lately in finding ways to integrate aquaponic cultivation with soil-based cultivation.  This video details some experimentation I have been doing along those lines employing ollas, which are a simple but effective water-saving irrigation device that is thought to have been developed 4,000 years ago in Africa.
