Hi, I'm Candy.... My journey started 15 years ago...
When I began to get sick from all the pesticides from the 'food' I was buying. I knew I needed to find a healthy alternative which would be easy and accessible. I was also driven by my dream of becoming self-sufficient and reducing my carbon footprint.
BUT I believed the only way to do this was to live on acreage or own my own large home. Both of these options were out of the question, so I had to find another way. We had to find a solution that would work in any small space, even if renting.
This is where I discovered the wonders of aquaponics!
I could see how it was the perfect solution and could not only change my life, but the lives of others and the planet too.
But the first time I tried it, it totally tanked and I almost gave up ~ I just didn't know, what I didn't know, which caused everything to die.
This is when I decided to delve deeper.
So I went to Tafe and Uni to learn everything I could about aquatic husbandry. I knew that if I could look after the fish, then everything else would look after itself.
By creating a sustainable ecosystem in this way, everything started to work.
I became passionate about sharing this new possibility. I had to help others achieve their right to sustainable, healthy food, regardless of space. Regardless of renting and landlords. I had to make it simple and understandable even for beginners.
This is what has led me to create - Simple Courtyard Aquaponics.
The first course of it’s kind that will show you how to easily and quickly have your system up and running even with no DIY experience.
I will take you by the hand and help you learn to build a thriving system in as little as 1 afternoon.

"I thought I was too old to garden.
Candy introduced me to a new way of gardening where I didn't have to bend, it was easy to care for and provided hours of entertainment watching the fish.
Even in my golden years, I could grow healthy food and the other residents enjoyed being able to watch the fish". Marg R
"Who knew that even renting in this tiny unit that my partner and I could grow our own food.
Candy broke down into simple steps and taught us how to build and look after a small aquaponics system.
We had heard of aquaponics in our permaculture course, and as we only saw large aquaponics setups we didn't think it was possible.
Now, thanks to Candy making it easy, we have healthy vegetables growing in the tiny, cement area". Rachel L
“I hate the smell of fish and was worried that this is what our food would taste like. After tasting the veg from Candy’s system we gave it a go.
There is such a difference in taste between the food grown in our little aquaponics system and the veg at the store.
It tastes real again. Like my grandma veg from the garden. You just don’t realise the taste difference with food now.
We are going bigger and never going back to the store veg”. Alice L

In May 2021, I came across Colleen and instantly knew that she was doing things that I didn’t know how to do.
Her social media presence was incredible, her marketing was spot on and she was mastering ClickFunnels and other platforms that I too wanted to learn how to master.
If you want to have growth, you need to seek out those people who are doing and achieving what you want to achieve.
There is no point going it alone. Why go through pain and take twice as long to get something done when you can have someone show you the way.🥰💪
Anyway, I entered Colleen’s world and although I wanted to book onto her mastermind I couldn’t afford it.
My business was not yet in a space to justify spending that much money on coaching. But I knew I needed it.
So I booked a strategy session in with her. That one strategy session helped me fix problems with my funnel of a product I was about to launch but it did more than that...
It confirmed to me that I needed her help and I needed to step up and make it happen.
I continued to have strategy sessions with Colleen but I knew I needed more and so after attending a mini-workshop, I decided I needed to join her Mastermind. (This was just 3 weeks ago, by the way!)
Again, I wasn’t sure my business was ready, but every time I back myself, the universe responds with sending me more clients.
So I share this with you now because, every time I invest in myself, every time I say universe I’m backing myself with getting the support and training I need, the universe responds with an acceleration and growth of both myself personally and my business.🥰
I’m so happy I took the leap of faith and booked with Colleen.

“I tried building aquaponics system from YouTube. It lasted 6 months and everything died.
Candy’s right, you don’t know what you don’t know. So many opinions, and how do you know if they are right?
Candy teaches easy ways to understand.
Not just telling you to do something, but why.
This made the difference as now I can pre-empt issues. I know why I need things”. Lochlan J
“I couldn’t get anything to grow in the soil.
Everything died. Learning about aquaponics from Candy made it so much easier, and I no longer consider myself a black thumb.
I am growing food. Me.
My parents couldn’t believe it."
Rosy T
.
“We’ve been wanting to start aquaponics for years but didn’t have the money to waste if we got it wrong.
Having built Candy’s little courtyard, we now have the confidence that we can add onto this one and go bigger.
It seems so complicated and I’m glad we started small and now the whole family has the confidence we can do this”.

It's for anyone who wants to take control of their life and grow healthy food. It is perfect for those in small spaces, as well as those who want to start small and 'kick the tyres'. Everything you need to know, is included to ensure you have the best opportunity.
This is the best question, as to be good with DIY, you have to start somewhere. This eBook shows you the instructions on what to do, but the course (and bonuses) have been designed for people with NO DIY experience, walking you through everything step by step
That's the best part about this design, it is small and easy to build in an afternoon. No need to wait weeks trying to build this. Simple, easy and Low Maintenance.
This will depend a little bit on what you do for the stand, however if you follow my deign, it is 1.5m wide, 0.6m deep and the system itself is 1m high ~ plus the height of the veggies.
This is perfect for small spaces. I have mine right outside my backdoor and it is the perfect way to start a herb garden easily.
When we start anything new, there is always a set-up cost involved.
I encourage you to source your parts second hand, and recycle where possible. This will reduce the cost of the aquaponics system.
With second hand parts and time, I have been able to build this aquaponics system for under $100AUD.
Ultimately the question needs to be, is it worth it ~ paying for the parts to build it.
How much do you spend on your herbs? Greens? Food? Your food bill each week? What does your health mean to you, to grow healthy food?
Unlike container gardening where you have to keep buying fertiliser, compost, and soil ~ the only only cost is the water pump, and I show you how to work that out. I run mine for $20AUD per year.
For this, I have healthy herbs year round in this system as well as the occasional broccoli, corn, tomato, zucchini, and capsicums.
That's the best part. The water pump in my Courtyard Aquaponics System costs $10-$20 per year to run. When you go to bigger systems, the costs get more expensive, but this small system is very economical.
That depends really. Are you the type of person who does the research and goes out and gets what you need AND builds it? Then yes, this is for you. If the answer is no, then you will be disappointed. Only you can get the results you are looking for, you have to take the next steps.
A common mis-conception is that YouTube gives you all the answers. It doesn't, and you never know who you are getting the information from. Will it last, and is it right.
I have formal training in aquaculture as well as work in commercial aquaculture and aquaponics, plus 17 years backyard aquaponics experience.
I don't know everything, but I do know a lot.
Building an aquaponics system is fairly easy and yes, you can pick that up on YouTube with enough research.
BUT, understanding how it runs, how to interpret the water quality results, prevent fish stress and disease, understanding the balance of the system, and learning from someone who understands that every climate is different, every system is different, and how people look after things are different.
This is the knowledge you are paying for. How to get it right, the first time.
Aquaponics can be for anyone who wants to do it. Often the issue is 'how do I learn this', and if you are willing to learn, aquaponics is a great way to garden, or to ADD to your current garden. It is the best solution for those in small spaces, with terrible soil, or water restrictions ~ and it is something everyone can learn.
Absolutely. Everything in life is a learned skill, including looking after fish.
One of the most common questions! Aquaponics doesn't smell 'fishy', that is a saltwater smell. Aquaponics is freshwater. A healthy aquaponics system, smells healthy. Ideally what you will be smelling is the herbs and veggies that you have growing.
