Aquaponics

Aquaponics, the co-cultivation of plants and fish in a recirculating environment, is a combination of hydroponics and aquaculture. The growth of fish produces natural plant nutrients. Water from the fish tank circulates through the growing trays for the plants. The plants use the nutrients, and the refreshed water is returned to the fish. Aquaponic systems take advantage of the natural relationship between the fish and plants to maintain a healthy environment for both. The aquaponic system duplicates what nature has been doing for millions of years.

Aquaponic systems are an economical, efficient, and environmentally friendly way to harvest large amounts of vegetables and high-protein fish for healthy dining and nutrition.

If you decide to put your farm outdoors, you will probably want to provide an enclosure of some kind. In a cold climate, your farm will require a structure such as a greenhouse, enclosed porch, or outbuilding that has adequate insulation, lighting, and a heat source to maintain maximum production year round. In warmer locales, simpler structures such as hoop houses will often suffice. If you have a basement, you can put your farm there. Warm, tropical climates require shading to protect young plants.
