| Hydroponics... |
| |
| Hydroponics is a means of growing plants in nutrient water without the use of soil. Instead of soil a non-reacting medium is used such as perlite, gravel, or the husk of coconuts. It was known as early as the 18 century that plants absorb their minerals in water as ions. The soil in traditional growing acts as a nutrient reservoir but does not actually contribute to plants growth. Water dissolves the minerals in the plants soil enabling the plants to use them. In hydroponics the minerals required for plants growth are artificially dissolved in the water making soil unnecessary. It is possible to grow almost any soil based plant using hydroponics. Hydroponics is such a promising field that there is much research into different methods in the academic community. | |

With the advancement of modern hydroponics along came advances in grow lights. At first the introduction of HPS (high pressure sodium) grow lights allowed plants to be grown indoors. They produced high light output and allowed plants to mature fully. Recently the advances of LED grow lights has begun to revolutionize the field of hydroponics. They completely eliminate the heat issues that come about with HPS lights and can reduce electrical costs by up to two thirds.
There is nothing more delicious than a homegrown strawberry, and did you know that hydroponics is a great way to get the best tasting and most nutritious strawberries possible. Although it was originally believed that growing hydroponic strawberries was impossible because of the plant's aversion to having 'wet feet,' growing strawberries using this method is now becoming more and more common.

| Aquaponics ... |
| |
| Although Aquaponics may sound like a trendy new concept, its roots go back thousands of years. Its origins can be traced back to the Aztecs and very old Egyptian and Far Eastern cultures. This very old way of growing plants works as well as it did in ancient times. | |

The plants absorb the nutrients that they need from the water, which in this case, are the waste chemicals from the fish tank. In doing so, they remove these contaminants, essentially cleansing the water of the toxins. So you can then safely transport the water back to the fish tank. Recycling - pure and simple, as thousands of people are finding out. Because the fish waste acts as a natural fertilizer for the crops, it removes the need for adding fertilizers pesticides, herbicides or fungicides.
Aquaponics uses only about 2% of the amount of water you would use with a home vegetable patch. The fish produce the waste and the plants use the nutrients that are in the water, which is circulated from the tank to the plants and back into the fish tank.. The fish waste produces ammonia and bacteria, which naturally appear in the water, change the ammonia to nitrates and plants thrive on nitrates. As the plants take in the nitrates they are filtering the water and in doing so keep the water suitable for the fish to live in.
And thus with an Aquaponics system you get the most out of your garden. You are not only growing your own fresh vegetables, you are saving water, saving energy, and growing more plants in less space. It is ideal for the backyard. It does not take up a lot of room and once it is established it does not take a lot of time or hard work to look after it. It is actually quite enjoyable to see not only your plants grow, but it is also very interesting to see your fish grow.
