Aquaponics and Microgreens for Beginners 2021: Two Guides to Building Your Own Garden System

by Jack Carr

Aquaponics is a revolutionary system for growing plants by fertilizing them with the waste water from fish in a sustainable closed system. A combination of aquaculture and hydroponics, aquaponic gardening is an amazingly productive way to grow organic vegetables, greens, herbs, and fruits, while providing the added benefits of fresh fish as a safe, healthy source of protein. On a larger scale, it is a key solution to mitigating food insecurity, climate change, groundwater pollution, and the impacts of overfishing on our oceans.

Starting with an overview of the theory, benefits, and potential of aquaponics, the book goes on to explain: -System location considerations and hardware components The living elements fish, plants, bacteria, and worms Putting it all together starting and maintaining a healthy systemAquaponics systems are completely organic. They are four to six times more productive and use ninety percent less water than conventional gardens. Other advantages include no weeds, fewer pests, and no watering, fertilizing, bending, digging, or heavy lifting-in fact, there really is no downside!
