By Alex Green Garden

Do you want to learn how to use aquaponics for building an incredible garden at home? Then keep reading...

Aquaponics is the combination of more traditional food production methods and uses both aquaculture and hydroponics in order to grow food naturally for personal consumption. Aquaculture uses tanks and ponds for raising aquatic animals mainly for the purpose of human consumption, while hydroponics refers to the system of growing plants in water instead using the more traditional method of soil-based gardening.

Aquaculture is based on raising fish while hydroponics is based on raising vegetables in water. Aquaponics uses both methods to provide the essential elements for each to be successful.

One of the best features of aquaponics is the inherent benefits it contains in providing protein and vegetables for a well-balanced food source - all at the same time. Not just an excellent way to grow food, but aquaponics is a perfect example of the ultimate recycling program as well

This book is a handy guide that provides you with the following content:

The process of aquaponics starts with a water tank containing live fish which are fed as often as needed or recommended. The water from the fish tank is then periodically directed to the vegetable growing beds. The water then filters through the plants that are growing and drains slowly from the bottom of the growing beds and is re-directed to the fish tanks.

This works so well because the water from the fish tank contains bacteria from fish waste products combined with uneaten fish food which supplies the growing plants with the nutrients, they need in order to grow well. As the fish tank water drains through the growing plants, it is purified and oxygenated and then returned to the fish holding tanks.
