Getting started with aquaponics can be overwhelming, with so many books, blogs, videos, and approaches to building your system. It’s important to develop your own understanding of what aquaponics is and understand its basic principles so you’ll know how to start and maintain your aquaponics system.
Both hydroponics and aquaponics grow plants in water. The difference is the source of nutrients. Hydroponics uses chemical nutrients, while aquaponics uses nutrients from fish waste.
