Have you ever wondered what it would be like to grow your own garden and farm your own protein? Maybe you have considered starting a garden but felt like it would take too much time, or you felt like farming your own protein is just too much maintenance. Maybe you tell yourself that you do not have enough land, or that you do not want to deal with the constant upkeep.

When it comes right down to it, there are ways that you can make the best of both worlds, and the aquaponic garden setup is the way to do so.

With an aquaponic build, you are not only growing your own plants in your own hydroponic environment, you are also creating the nutrients that your plants need--with fish! These fish, if you choose them wisely, can also become valuable sources of protein for you to consume. Many popular and edible fish, such as tilapia and catfish, can be grown within an aquaponic setting, enabling you to grow your salad with your protein, all in one place!

In an aquaponic system, you make use of the fact that nature has a special way of recycling nutrients. It uses the nitrogen cycle to involve the fish, their waste, the bacteria that break down their waste in the wild, and the plants. The fish eat food and produce ammonia. Bacteria break down ammonia into nitrite, and then nitrate, which your plants need to thrive. The nitrate gets absorbed by the plants, who then purify the water and ensure that the fish have a habitable environment to continue living in and the cycle goes on!

When you make use of this, you are harnessing the power of nature and the processes that have evolved over the course of life on earth, and that is highly powerful. This book will teach you how to begin with your own aquaponic environment, ensuring that you, too, can make use of these methods.
