Growing food in an aquaponics garden can be much easier than growing food in a soil based garden. Aquaponics is less labour intensive and you can produce a greater amount of food in a shorter amount of time. With this type of system you are provided with two food sources. The plants you grow in the hydroponics component will give you fresh organic vegetables. The aquaculture component of this system will provide you with fresh fish to eat. This system is easier because you get more food with less work, when compared to soil based gardening.
Another thing to consider is the food you produce will be nutritious and organic. To achieve this you must understand that the process will take some time. However it will take less time than growing food in a regular garden. If you construct your aquaponics garden properly you see a yield of healthy food within three weeks. There are a number of ways to speed up the process. This can be done by inserting nitrates into the water before the fish excrements can transform. Be sure to monitor the amount of ammonia, nitrites and nitrates from the water, so that you can always know the quality of your water for the fish and plants you are growing
The process of growing food with an aquaponics system will take some planing. The work you put into your aquaponics garden will be much less than a soil based garden and your yield will be greater. Selecting a proven guide to help you construct your garden would also be of great benefit.
