Imagine being able to grow fresh fish and organic vegetables with ease in your back yard? Aquaponics is a hybridisation of Aquaculture (fish farming) and Hydroponics (soil less plant culture). Fish live in a large tank where they eat and create fish waste, the water is then pumped out into grow beds which act as a bio filter. Bacteria convert the fish waste elements into nutrients which the plants then take up through their roots.
Much like a hydroponics set up, the water flows into the grow beds until almost full and is then drained using a bell siphon. As the system cycles many times per hour, the plants have plenty of opportunity to extract all of the nutrients, which when in high levels are toxic to the aquatic life.
A huge bonus is that Aquaponics uses a fraction of the water that soil gardening uses!
