Aquaponics Plans for Free
How many times did you not want to grow
your own vegetables, without chemicals or preservatives, just organic food that
you, your children and your entire family can eat safely? How many times did
you not think for purchasing a land that will offer you the organic crops you
long for? How many times did you not wish to go out and pick your veggies
without thinking of their rising price? If for all of these questions the
answer is “many” then read on and find out how all you wishes may come true.
So, let’s start with the beginning. The
first invention which made gardening far easier was hydroponics, which involved
growing your veggies in special pots with water. However, the hydroponic system
involves using many chemicals and fertilizers, thus the plants growing in there
are not quite organic. Yet, the use of fertilizers and chemical substances is
not necessary when building your aquaponic system.
Aquaponics or aquaponic farming involves
growing fish and plants in a natural and useful interdependence. So, you grow
fish in a normal fish tank and after a certain period you “plant” the seeds.
Then you just take care of the fish and the plants will grow and develop
naturally without any further help from you.
The aquaponic principle is simple: the
fish provide food and fertilizer for the plants (their excrements), while the
plants clean the fishes’ water, creating great conditions for them to develop.
If you take good care of your fishes and make sure that their water is always
oxygenated properly, then your plants will not need any other type of care. So,
as long as your fishes are happy, so will be your plants.
There are plenty of advantages such a
system can offer you. First of all independence from the market as you will
grow your own vegetables in the comfort of your own home, secondly great use of
your space, as you will only need a place inside the house or the garage where
you can place the fish tank. Then there is the comfort issue, as you no longer
have to dig the ground and plant the seeds outside, bend over and over again to
clear the land from weeds and harvest the crops. In fact you do not need land
at all.
