Better Life with The Aquaponic Farming

Age is not a problem if you start to raise interest Aquaponics you can start even be done with children or grandchildren by creating a pleasant atmosphere. Don't you believe...? We will bring our families in order to understand better life
So many kinds of diseases attacking humans. All of which result less heedless ourselves to the food we eat.
Now many people are beginning to realize, importance of maintaining personal hygiene.Keep intake.
And one solution is to eat organic food. But some people sometimes do not know if the vegetables / fruits look good means clean and safe to eat. Be carefull because some farmer provide  chemical fertilizers at planting. Aquaponics help your life so much easier, healthier and more fun

Nutrition is highly important for a good health. Unfortunately, less healthy food is available on the market, while the fatty, semi-prepared food has taken over the supermarkets and local store. It is getting more and more difficult to find organic food that is not only tastier, but it is also healthier than the crops grown with chemical fertilizers. What is even more alarming is that the price of organic food grows significantly day by day and less people afford to buy fresh fruits and vegetables necessary for a balanced diet. If you are in such a situation, then you should start growing your own vegetables and fish by using the aquaponic farming.

Aquaponics’ principles are simple: you grow fish in a tank, proliferate the plant seeds, care for them during their development period and in less than one year harvest your own crops. It is as simple as it can be to get fresh veggies and herbs, grow fish and have a balanced diet with little money and almost no effort. It may sound unbelievable, but this is the plain truth!
What is even better is that you can place your mini aquaponic farm wherever you want in your house. You can keep it hidden in your garage or you can boast with it by making it the center of your living room. Anywhere you like, there is a little space and appropriate light you can put your small tank and veggies, you can even find them a place them in your flat! This will offer you total independence from the rising prices. You will be able to have whatever veggies you want without spending huge amounts of money on the market.
This way, not only will you save some money for the little pleasures of the life that you have always postponed, but you will also have fresh food on your table and will be able to offer your family a healthy, tasty meal. So, why spend lots of money and let others make fortunes on your behalf when you can have everything you need for your meal with the aquaponicfarming? It has never been so easy!

Basic thing you need to know About Aquaponics

You love gardening but you do not like it when need be dirty. Yeah....same with me...:)
But since the first time I knew about Aquaponic, I should not miss this.
Why do not try to build an Aquaponics System? Is it and how..? Maybe it is in the minds of people who just heard aquaponic. Okay I give a little explanation,
Aquaponic is is a sustainable food production system that combines a traditional aquaculture (raising aquatic animals such as snails, fish, crayfish or prawns in tanks) with hydroponics (Cultivating plants in water) in a symbiotic environment
Way easier planting can be customized with your abilities. Without using soil media but the results are much better. Devastating run in place with land less fertile.


If you are thinking of setting up your own aquaponic system but are still not very aware of what this presupposes, then here are some things which will help you understand better its requirements.
The first thing you will need to know about this system is that it combines the principles of aquaculture with those of hydroponic gardening, thus resulting a new and highly effective way of growing plants and fish at the same time. With a tank of no more than 20 square feet and some netted pots you will be able to grow enough plants to supply your entire family and sometimes even gift some to your neighbors.

 
Because this system heavily relies on fishes (they are the ones providing the food for the plants), you will need to take good care of them in order for the system to give proper results. This means that you will need to make sure that the water has the appropriate temperature, PH level, light as well as the necessary amount of oxygen to accommodate the fish in god conditions. Basically, monitoring the water and feeding the fish is all that you will have to do in order to grow plants in the aquaponic garden. It is quite simple and the results are spectacular.

The great thing about this type of gardening is that you will not need to bend to take care of the plants. Placing the fish tank and the netting pots at the waist level will make all activities you need to do in order to take care of the plants and fish easy as a children’s game. You can say goodbye to digging, bending and stretching to reach as larger surface, and crawling on your knees to take the weeds out of the ground. You will have everything you need at your arms’ reach.

Suitable for any age as well as for people with any type of activity. It requires little time and it gives great results. As long as you take good care of your fish, your plants will grow bigger and bigger, will develop normally and at the end you will harvest the best veggies you have ever tasted! 
It's time to make real effort for Aquaponics do it Yourself. Many benefit you can take.

Aquaponic Not as Hard as You Think

Most farmers or agricultural usually live in rural or suburban areas, but it does not mean in cities they do not exist. Farmers' lives need hard work and  real effort to work on large land to plant gardening vegetables. They had to hoe and dig.
Some farmers have been able to capitalize on the need for high-demand products that they produce, such as organic vegetables and livestock.
Because  they are, we can eat vegetables and fruits everyday  and many many stock in market.
Farmers do not care if he had to wrestle with the soil conditions are muddy and dirty. Have in their minds of farmers certainly how to make working on the land should be able to bring maximum results and when the vegetables and fruits are sold to the market will be able to bring a lot of sustenance for his family life. It's time they should know about aquaponics

Growing your own crops can be a demanding task even for those in loved with gardening. Is a time consuming activity and it requires lots of energy and dedication. In addition to that, a traditional garden requires fertile land which will sustain your efforts of growing some corps. These are the main reasons for which many people give up their dream of growing their own vegetables and switch on organic food. What most people do not know is that there is a way of growing organic food (pesticide and chemical free) in the comfort of your home. Yes, you read it perfectly: inside your house.

This new type of farming is called aquaponics and is the simplest way to become a farmer! The best part is that you will not only grow vegetables, but you will also grow fish, so that you can offer your family a diversified nutrition. It all starts quite simple, with a plain tank filled with water in which you place some fish. You can go for Chinese Catfish, Crappie, Bluegill or Koi, or whatever species of fish you are allowed to grow in your house. Put them in the water, take good care of them and in about a month place the seeds so that they can reach the water and get the nutrients from it. The plants will develop and start growing with the nutrients offered by the fish. In the meantime, the fish will enjoy a clean environment as the plants will act as “maids” for them, cleaning and refreshing their water each and every day. 

As you can see this type of farming does not require any type of land, fertilizers or chemical substances. Just set up the system and make sure that the water has the normal PH so that the fish will live comfortably in there. Then, let nature follow its course!
You can grow almost everything you want in the aquaponic farming. Leafy greens, fruity plants and legumes can all be planted in the aquaponic farming. If you have a piece of land where you cultivate ground-based plants (potatoes, carrots, asparagus, onions, garlic and so on) you can use this water to irrigate it and the results will be spectacular!
Nothing can compare to the easiness, safety and great results of the aquaponic farming! You have everything at the reach of your hand without too much effort and what is even more important, without using any chemical additives to your crops.

Give a Little Time to Care Your Aquaponics Farming

aquaponics



If we are trying to correct it will get the maximum results. As well as those who cultivate Aquaponics.
Much of the information that we can find out on the internet and many people said that it is easy to start aquaponics farming. Really ...?
But for the layman... however, should learn  steps-by- step very carefully because we wanted the plants and fish can get their food in your own aquaponics farming. so that they grow up as expected.
A classic case of symbiosis. The fish's waste offers rich organic manure for the plants provide oxygen for the fish. Small or large areas of land there's ok to grow your vegetables and fish simultaneously.

Aquaponics Farming can give you lots of fresh vegetables and tasty fish, they are great for any type of home as well as for any age and occupation you may have.  However, they will not take care of themselves! It is true that they require very little care, but it is essential that you give them those few minutes a day each and every day in order to obtain very good results and keep the farm producing for a long period of time.
The major process in aquaponics is aeration. If the water is properly aerated, then your fish will be happy and your plants will grow normally. On the other hand, if the water is not properly oxygenized, then there are very few chances that your farm will survive for more than a couple of days.

The reasons why aeration is so important are quite simple and easy to understand for everybody. First of all, the dissolved oxygen is necessary for the fish to breathe. Even though the fish live under water they still need to breathe and just like in case of other animals, they need oxygen to survive. When they lack oxygen they die, thus the balance from your Aquaponic Systems is lost and in a matter of days your plants will start to get yellowish and eventually die out.

As this was not enough, the fish excrements are decomposed and transformed from toxic ammonia into useful nitrates in the presence of oxygen. Thus, if the water is not properly aerated the fish poop will not be transformed, the plants will have nothing to eat, while the fish will die intoxicated with ammonia. This is not a very pleasant perspective, isn’t it? This is why you will have to monitor the quality of your water each and every day and have a back-up plan in case the power gets off and the air pumps will no longer be able to function. This is the only way through which you can save your aquaponic systems and make it work for a long period of time. Your plants and your fish will thank you for that!
