How does it work / what is aquaponics ?

Aquaponics is very similar to hydroponics – where you grow your plants only using water.

However the key difference is that the water will contain fish – so you only have to feed the fish and their excrement will nourish the plants.

The advantages of using aquaponics to grow plants are

Same advantages as hydroponics – i.e.

• no soil required,
• easier to grow & manage plants, etc.

.

However, in addition:

• Aquaponics can be cheaper to operate as fish feed is often cheaper than the nutrients added to the water in an hydroponic system
• Once well established (after about 6 months) it can produce even faster growth and better yields than hydroponics.
• Easier to get fully organic plants.
• The fish can be very appealing to households (with big or little children)
