What is a garden pool you might ask, well according to the founders of Gardenpool.org
“The Garden Pool was a large run-down pool that is now a closed-loop food production system using aquaponics and is powered by solar energy. The GP was designed to feed a family of four with organic eggs, fruit, veggies, herbs, and fish 365 days a year while using 90% less water than conventional farming methods.
