Description

Are you desiring sustainability within your life. If you want to learn how to cheaply and effectively grow the most organic, tasteful, high yielding vegetables, fruit, and greens of your life with the addition of fresh fish anytime, then you should consider Aquaponics. Aquaponics is a new take on hydroponics, where the sole source of nutrients (besides fish feed which can also be grown in the garden) comes from fish wastes. It is a completely closed system, which transfers when the ammonia saturated fish waste are broken down to usable nitrates and nitrites by the cyanobacteria within the developing root system of plants within the hydroponic grow bed. The plants absorb the nutrients, filtering the water in the process, which is then pumped back to the fish tank reservoir.Murray Hallam is a leading authority on DIY Aquaponics for the family or small farm.
