Aquaponics is a combination of aquaculture (the growing of fish and other aquatic animals) and hydroponics (the growing of plants without soil) in one recirculating environment. In aquaponics, the fish produce waste converted by the nitrifying bacteria into nutrients for the plants. Plant roots absorb these nutrients to thrive. In return, the plant roots clean and filter the water for the fish to live. The nutrient film technique is one of the most successful aquaponics methods.

 

In any gardening method, earthworms are recognized as one of the most efficient natural decomposers. It is because worms help break down everything from solid waste, excess roots, and other decaying matter that plants slough off. In return, earthworms produce castings which are perfect fertilizers for the plants. These are the reasons why many aquaponics growers support the idea of adding worms into their aquaponics systems. This article will discuss the benefits of using worms in aquaponics systems and how to add them to your system
