Build Your Own Aquaponics Garden

I love growing plants. I have vegetable gardens, flower gardens and various bushes and trees I care for. It is so satisfying starting from a fragile seed, watching it sprout and hopefully thrive as it grows to full maturity.

Everyone has their own area of gardening they enjoy. For some it

may be growing from that seed, others may enjoy the harvest of their labor. Still others enjoy the beauty of flowers they grew themselves, or eating the delicious berries from their own yard.

Traditional gardening can be difficult, and there are countless people who have tried the various traditional methods of gardening, only to give up due to the hard work that it requires. Outdoor gardening generally requires a lot of space, and uses many resources. The garden must be watered, fed, soil amended, weeding, insect control, disease control. The list goes on. Aquaponics solves many of these issues.

I have created this Aquaponics guide to share my knowledge (and others who have contributed) with you. For now I am offering it free of charge, though I would appreciate your feedback so I may improve it.

What is this aqua-ponics thing all about?

It's About Giving The Plants What They Really Need...

While most people are familiar with growing plants in the ground, in raised beds outside, or even container gardening using soil, few are familiar with other alternative methods such as hydroponics or aquaponics.

All that work you put in to a traditional soil garden is to give the plants what they need - space, air, water, food, light, temperature and so on.

Hydroponics is a method of gardening that attempts to give the plant all those things, but with a lot less work. In many areas it succeeds and is in fact a great way to garden - for some people. However, some issues aquaponics can solve for the hydroponic gardener are having to deal with all the different chemicals, nutrients ($$) and even diseases. Hydroponics is sort of like an unbalanced aquaponics, thus requiring a extra work to keep the garden in balance. Additionally some may argue that hydroponics does produce good looking plants or fruit, but they are inferior in quality and taste.

Aquaponics is my latest gardening journey, I hope you will check it out and come with me. Who knows, maybe you will find a renewed (or new) passion for growing! If not, at least you will have learned something new and interesting.

Are you already an experienced gardener, whether hydro or aqua? I would love to have you check out my guide and give me feedback, so I may improve it.

What about cost? Complexity?

It's not as hard as you think, you can do it too!

You can do-it-yourself on a budget, and build a small mini-home system, or scale it and build an entire large commercial/professional multi-acre system (farm?), it's up to you! Later in the guide, I will give ideas and examples of systems. I have built systems using mostly items I had around my shed and garage. With a good start using this guide you should be able to get started too.

Here are a few possible benefits of building an aquaponics garden (I will try to address each of these and more throughout the guide):

• Plants grow faster (up to twice as fast in some cases)
• It is possible to grow up to 10 times the number of plants in the same space (depending on the plant of course)
• Watering, weeding, fertilizer and many other resources are greatly reduced.
• Now that you have all these plants, what to do? Consider selling them! Your plants are organic, the best of the best.
• Uses less time (and expenses) than traditional gardening, yet does not use much energy. In most cases aquaponics is considered to use less energy, and is more eco-friendly.
• Depending on the setup of your system, you may have a secondary source of food - fish!
• There are many other potential benefits that I will cover in the guide. If you have a specific question, you can ask by replying to the thank you e-mail you receive when you sign up for the free guide.
