Aquaponics is not a new way of growing food, but it is newly developing. Nature has been been using this type of method long before humans have been around. But we are now just discovering the advantages of this type of system and just how effective this form of growing both plants and fish really is. The interdependence between the fish and plants creates a win win for everybody.

The plants grow with spectacular results, because the fish provide them with all the rich organic nutrients that they need. And the plants are a great natural filtration system that keeps the water clean for the fish. And you as the grower, get endless amounts of fresh organic produce and fish. All with less expense and less work than traditional methods.

Aquaponics makes growing your own food practical for just about anyone. Not everyone has a plot of fertile soil to grow a garden, but with aquaponics, you don't need that. Even city dwellers can grow vegetables in their own homes indoors or in their yards or patio. Imagine being able to pick fresh organic tomatoes, cucumbers, basil or whatever you are growing, right from your living room or back yard, as soon as you are ready to prepare it. Or to be able to catch and prepare a fresh fish right out of your own tank.

If you don't want to eat your fish, a lot of people just keep them as decoration or to breed and sell to aquarium owners, aquaculturists, or for stocking fish ponds.

Aquaponic systems are very easy to assemble. Even those who are not very handy can usually manage, and if not, it is usually easy to find people who are so fascinated with the idea that they are more than eager to help. The materials are also simple and usually can be found for little money. Not only easy to set up, but also easy to disassemble and move. This makes this an ideal growing method for those who rent a house or apartment and are more likely to move.

This type of gardening can more than pay for itself. Instead of giving your money away every time you buy food, you can grow your own and contribute to a system that will produce food for for you indefinitely. You can start small and scale up a little at a time, until you can produce most if not all of your own food. And if that is not enough, there are are many profitable opportunities for commercial growing with this kind of system.

With aquaponics, the possibilities are endless. You have a system that mostly takes care of itself, and can produce as much fresh organic produce and fish as you want it to. You can start with very little investment in time and money, and onging maintenance is minimal. So you might as well give it a try and see for yourself how well it works.
