Publisher's Synopsis
Have you ever wished that you could garden and farm, but found that you didn't have the space to do so? Did you ever feel like you wanted to be able to grow your own food, but felt like the climate that you lived in was all wrong? Did you think that maybe, you didn't have the time to keep everything alive? Well, think again--you can not only grow your own garden, but you can also farm your own fish, and you can do it all within a single system.
Aquaponics is the cultivation of fish and plants using symbiosis to keep them both alive. The fish produce waste, which gets converted by bacteria into the nutrients that plants need to survive. Those nutrients get taken in by the plants, giving them everything that they will need to grow while also cleaning out the water that the fish are living in. It works both ways--the fish's home stays clean, and the plant is kept well-nourished. This symbiotic relationship is used heavily in the aquaponic setting.
In these setups, the fish are in one system, usually grown to farm as food as well. They are kept in what is known as a rearing tank, which keeps them all together and away from damaging the roots. The plants are then kept in a hydroponic build--a setup that allows them to grow entirely soil-free. You can grow this with ease, and doing so will help create larger yields than you thought was possible.
Within this book, you will be introduced to this concept and how to make it your own. You will learn how to balance the needs of your fish and plants to keep them both alive and healthy, and you will be guided through how to begin farming your own with ease. In particular, you will find:
