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.
It's time to make real effort for Aquaponics do it Yourself. Many benefit you can take.
