Aquaponics For Beginners! - Dorothy Mohl

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing this book.

Could you believe it if I said to you that you can have fish for dinner caught from your backyard? How about if I informed you that this fish was growing vegetables for your dinner? Would you believe it? This is all possible using a new gardening technique called Aquaponics.

Aquaponic gardens are not complicated to set up and run. You can operate an aquaponic garden in home or back yard. All that is required of you is to follow some simple guidelines.

Thank you again for buying this book and I hope you enjoy it.

Chapter 1: What is Aquaponics Gardening?

What is Aquaponics?

Aquaponics is a form of farming where you raise fish and grow plants together using an integrated system. The fish produce waste that is used as organic food by the plants. When the plants suck these nutrients they filtered the water naturally. The waste produced by fish turns into ammonia and nitrates. If the waste builds up excessively this will not be good for the fish. Other important but invisible actors include the composting red worms and beneficial bacteria. They can be viewed as a conversion team. Beneficial bacteria are found on moist surfaces of any aquaponic system. They convert ammonia in the fish waste which is toxic to fish into nitrites and finally to nitrates. Nitrates are not harmful to fish and are great plant food. Worms too convert decaying plant matter and solid waste
