Tré Foster
Tré is a Maconite who has worked in construction for 35-plus years. He has always had a passion for reduce, reuse, recycle and other sustainability projects. Afer reading an article that mentioned aquaponics didn’t require watering
or weeding, he was sold. He bought his first system about six years ago and
has been a hobbyist since. He quickly realized that he enjoyed building, expanding and improving the system. The fish and garden are a gauge of system performance and a bonus when you harvest.
