aquaponic organic

Aquaponics systems are a great breakthrough in organic gardening. One can grow up to five times the amount of plants which are cultivated in normal soil, faster than the normal growth rate, and then harvest a healthy natural organic vegetable or fruit.

The fish that you raise in Aquaponics System do everything. They supply the plants with nutrients they need, therefore it is symbiotic systems. This means that the fish and the plants enjoy an interdependent relationship, thus promoting each other, and allowing each to thrive.

Aquaponics advantages:

1. It is a clean green way in which there is no more soil, pets or harmful weeds to damage your plants. In addition, you do not need to add fertilizer or any other additives.

2. Aquaponics outcome is several times more productive than plants that are planted in normal soil in the same area. The end result is fish produce which is healthy and natural, saving on energy, effort and time; as Aquaponics System requires just 15 minutes at most every day to take care of. Try and imagine the hard work that has to be done every day; and if you have a small area of land, you need to work hard in planting, watering the plants, buying fertilizers, (which have several negative side effects) plus weeding that must be done every single day. An enormous task indeed!

3. The fish excrement is a valuable source of natural organic nutrients for the plants so, in this way, the plants in Aquaponics system grow faster than the normal rate. In some situations, cultivation rates reduce and decreases to half of the original time.

4. It is a super organic system in which the plants receive natural organic nutrients for 24 hours per day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year.

5. You can get four pounds of organic healthy food for each 3 square foot per month and this is about ten times the normal rate.

6. After a specific point in which one can meet their family needs of organic and healthy fish, the next level is one that enables you to market products and become a lucrative business. Organic food is very expensive; the amount of organic plants output doesn't meet the markets need, and the fish market is also the same.

7. It's completely automatic. All you need is just one hour per-day to sustain Aquaponics project that produces 4000 pounds of plants every month. On the other hand, you don't need anything less than 3-4 hours of labor per-day for a normal farm that produces the same amount of plants. But Aquaponics systems only requires a one time effort in which you can setup your system, and then plant your vegetable or fruit seedlings. Afterwards you can leave it on autopilot.
