Description

Have you always desired to establish a good plant cultivation practice or improve an existing one, and even combine that with fish farming but you either don't have enough space, you don't have enough time or capacity to maintain both practices -or don't even know where to begin?

 

Then keep reading...


Aquaponics refers to an alternative DIY gardening system that combines traditional aquaculture gardening with hydroponics gardening in a single, symbiotic environment.


In this system, the water byproduct from an existing aquaculture system is processed, firstly, into nitrites, and then into nitrates that are fed to plants as life-sustaining vitamins and minerals. Afterwards, the nutrient-rich water is recycled back to the aquaculture system.



Have you got a strained back or sore knees from bending over to tend your old, soil garden?

 

Or maybe you just long to try something different, something new & exciting?

 

Well then, let me introduce you to a superior way of gardening, Aquaponics.

 

Perhaps you've already got your hands dirty, but then encountered some of these frustratingly common problems?

 

Nutrient deficiencies? Insect infestations? Maybe you're struggling to build your system? All beginners will inevitably face these challenges - and there's so many pitfalls that can easily lead to dying plants and unhealthy fish. With the tried and tested, simple steps laid out in this book, rest assured that you can make Aquaponics work and create a sustainable, easy-to-run, organic fruit & vegetable producing garden.

 

 

Here's what you'll learn:

 

  • The development of modern aquaponics.
  • The sustainability and permaculture of aquaponics.
  • Things to consider when starting an aquaponics system.
  • Important factors to consider when choosing an appropriate grow bed.
  • Efficient techniques used in designing an aquaponics unit.
  • The insects that affect aquaponics.
  • The secret sauce to finding the right fish.
  • How to select and maintain a good aquaponics system, including a comprehensive aquaponics system maintenance checklist.
  • ...And much, much more!


Aquaponics is a sustainable and profitable way to do indoor or outdoor farming. While it's relatively new to the scene compared to other alternative gardening methods, it is one with the most promising results.

 

 

Just imagine having an almost completely self-sufficient crop and fish farming system and still enjoying high quality yield!

 

How would you feel having a beautiful setup right behind your house that your entire family can depend on, without having to worry about the cost of healthy food, all the harmful chemicals that are typically present in the fresh produce stocked in supermarkets and the cost of running a traditional farm?
