Aquaponics

                            

Vegetables and Fish in your backyard?

   Aquaponics refers to any system that combines conventional aquaculture with hydroponics in a symbiotic environment. In normal aquaculture, excretions from the animals being raised can accumulate in the water, increasing toxicity. Source: Wikipedia

         If you have enough space at home and you want to have fish and vegetables home grown then Aquaponics is right for you. This is entirely different from the topic about gardening, this type of growing produce needs to have vegetables that are hydroponic where they grow without soil but on watery environment with enough nutrition to make the plant grow, However, instead of just growing plants, you can also grow fish.

      From the image above shows that the water from the fish tank supplies nutrients to the plants as it cycles upward. The plants benefits from the fish waste as nutrients. From the plants water cycles being filtered going back to the fish tank. The only key to this setup is that fish should be feed and plants should be monitored, water pump should be used to make the water cycle from the plant to the fish tank.
