A lot of people are beginning to take an interest in Aquaponics but are put off by the thought of setting up a system. The truth is it's easy, all the things you need are readily available at any hardware store and the hardest bit is keeping the fish and even that is relatively straight forward.
The best way to start off is to buy the fish tank, fill it up and switch on the filters. Now you need to let the water mature for a few weeks which is ideal because by the time you have put together the rest of your aquaponics system the tank will be ready for the fish.
The great thing about this form of gardening is the sheer amount of extra crops that you can grow in the same space of a normal garden. Let's say you have a square metre of soil, normally this would let you grow 10 cabbages. With an aquaponics system you can grow lots more because the plants are in grow beds which are stacked up on top of each other.
The way the cycle works is simple, the fish produce waste which is sent through a filter to remove lumps but retain the nutrition. This clean but nutritious water is then pumped through the grow beds, giving your plants all the food they need before returning to the tank to start the cycle over again.
If like me you are new to this then this brief aquaponics 4 you review might help. Ok I got the guide six months ago and was very pleased with the overall quality of the product. It comes in the form of an ebook and also has video training included, the videos especially are great because you can just copy what you see.
The best thing about aquaponics 4 you though is that anyone can follow it and get good results. I personally set up a lovely indoor system that is a centre piece in my lounge.
As with every guide there are some bad points as well as good and this is no exception. The book is a bit short and at times gets a little technical, which is fine if you know the lingo but a bit puzzling for a beginner.
