Aquaponics

Aquaponics is a self sustained ecosystem where crops and fish are raised. The fish waste water, and added bacteria create nutrients for the plants and the water from the plants creates clean water for the fish to live in, always recycling the water. There is no soil in this type of farming.

This type of horticulture is considered vegetable culture because you are raising vegetables. The basic form of aquaponics was believed to be created by the Aztecs and is still improving today.

This is a good type of farming because it is self sustaining and organic. You have fish and produce to live off of. You don't have to have a lot of land and you can even have the whole thing in a building. The most expensive part is the start up cost.

In order to have an aquaponic farm you need to set up the water beds, and the fish pool with the pumps. Then you need to have the water, fish, plants and the bacteria.
