Do you know what is aquaponics?
Aquaponics is a very good way of producing 100% healthy, tasty and sustainable food at home. Furthermore, it is a branch of permaculture. Also, it can be integrated with a classic garden to boost the production of the whole system.
Aquaponics is a poly-culture
Aquaponics consist of producing crop in poly-culture which means that the crops are grown in an ecosystem. The 3 evident groups of leaving creatures in the ecosystem are the fish, the plants and the bacteria. The fish are fed and reject some nitrogen into the water under the form of Ammonia. Then, the ammonia is transformed by some bacteria into nitrite and then nitrate. As a result the nitrate are consumed by the plants. Finally, the plants purify the water returned to the fish. This ecosystem is actually more complex as it evolve a multitude of other animals such as worms, insects, birds… In consequence, those living creatures help to break down the organic matters generated. Hence, they offer a very wide range of nutrients to the plants.
