Why Aquaponics?

Well I had taken a Agricultural Economics class in college and I was introduced to hydroponics. I was fascinated by the idea of growing plants without soil, so I start to google and youtube to find out more. Then I came over aquaponics, bringing the fish side of it in. I decide that I just had to make a system of my own.

I think aquaponics is going to be developed more all over the world as more information is shared and people see the many benefits of a close loop system of fish and plants growing together. And what better time to start making my own aquaponics system to help feed my family and share this valuable information in these hard economic time.

Any Questions? I'll try my best to answer!

  1. Agriculture has a hard time keeping going in the Bahamas I think because many of the methods are imported from more temperate zones where the soil is deeper and richer. It also takes some adjustment of methods because the growing cycle has to account for the dryer time from March to May and the scorching heat from July to October. I wonder if some of the methods the Israelis use could be adapted from their desert planting methods.
