What is Aquaponics?
Aquaponics is a method of growing plants and fish together in a symbiotic environment. The waste produced by fish provides nutrients for plants, while plants naturally filter the water for the fish.
How It Works:
- Fish produce waste rich in ammonia.
- Beneficial bacteria convert ammonia into nitrates, which plants use as food.
- Clean water is recirculated back to the fish.
Benefits:
- Saves water compared to traditional farming.
- Produces chemical-free plants and fish.
- Reduces environmental impact by recycling nutrients.
