In article, we talk about aquaponics how to make it work for you. But before we get into that, let us go over this few questions first. How many times did you not want to grow your own vegetables, without chemicals or preservatives, just organic food that you, your children and your entire family can eat safely?
How many times did you not think for purchasing a land that will offer you the organic crops you long for? How many times did you not wish to go out and pick your veggies without thinking of their rising price?
If for all of these questions the answer is “many” then read on and find out how all you wishes may come true.
Before talking about aquaponics how to …
So, let’s start with the beginning. The first invention which made gardening far easier was hydroponics, which involved growing your veggies in special pots with water. However, the hydroponic system involves using many chemicals and fertilizers, thus the plants growing in there are not quite organic. Yet, the use of fertilizers and chemical substances is not necessary when building your aquaponic system.
Aquaponics or aquaponic farming involves growing fish and plants in a natural and useful interdependence. So, you grow fish in a normal fish tank and after a certain period you “plant” the seeds. Then you just take care of the fish and the plants will grow and develop naturally without any further help from you.
Principle of aquaponic system
The aquaponic principle is simple: the fish provide food and fertilizer for the plants (their excrements), while the plants clean the fishes’ water, creating great conditions for them to develop. If you take good care of your fishes and make sure that their water is always oxygenated properly, then your plants will not need any other type of care. So, as long as your fishes are happy, so will be your plants.
There are plenty of advantages such a system can offer you.
First of all independence from the market as you will grow your own vegetables in the comfort of your own home, secondly great use of your space, as you will only need a place inside the house or the garage where you can place the fish tank. Then there is the comfort issue, as you no longer have to dig the ground and plant the seeds outside, bend over and over again to clear the land from weeds and harvest the crops. In fact you do not need land at all.
This is by far the easiest, safest and most convenient type of gardening that has ever existed. Try it now and convince yourself that aquaponics is the future of gardening!
Perfect plants, ZERO weeds
If you’re like me, you love the idea of an immaculate garden with no weeds.
With aquaponic system, you don’t have this problem anymore. In addition, you can grow exceptionally healthy plants on AUTOPILOT. You can grow 10 times as many plants as an ordinary garden… in half the time.
In a nutshell, fish “grow” together with plants in the unit.
The reason it works so well is that the fish provide the exact nutrients that the plants need. And in turn the plants filter the water for the fish.
