Nowadays traditional farming is starting to lose
ground in favor of the new ways of growing plants. Most people have directed
their attention towards hydroponic farming which enables them to grow
vegetables in their own house or their garage just using water and some
specially designed pots. Yet, the drawback of the hydroponic farming is the
fact that you will need to use chemical substances to feed the plants and make
them grow normally. This significantly affects the taste and the quality of the
crops.
With aquaponics this does not happen. Aquaponic
relies on the symbiosis between plants and fish. Thus, you can define
aquaponics as a mixture of aquaculture and hydroponics, where you get to grow
both plants and fish in a perfect interdependence. Because of this, you will
never need to use any type of chemical substances, thus resulting tastier and
healthier crops. Only placing a small
amount of chemicals in the water will immediately have serious effects on the
fish, endangering their lives and you do not want that to happen.
You may wonder what type of vegetables are you able
to grow using the aquaponic system. Well, almost any plant you can think of,
excluding, of course, the plants whose fruits grow inside the ground, like
potatoes, sweet potatoes, onions, garlic and so on. Fruity vegetables like
cucumbers, strawberries, tomatoes, squash, okra, pepper, melon; herbs like
basil and oregano; different types of beans and peas as well as green leafy
vegetables grow very well in this type of system.
What will amaze you even more is the great taste
your veggies and legumes will have. You will not believe that something so good
can be grown in your garage or in your living room. They have a far better
taste than the veggies you buy from the market as they are all natural, organic
and have no other chemical “improvements”. Just what is best of the plant! Your
meals will be healthier and tastier!
