Aquaponics, Homesteading Done Right!


Hey everyone, I make regular aquaponics posts, I am truly passionate about this amazing yet simple technology! There truly is no better more cost effective and brilliant way to grow food both protein as well as vegetables in a closed looped system, where plants and fish work in symbiosis. If you have never heard of aquaponics do be sure to follow my aquaponics posts. I have posted many in the past and will continue to do so going forward. As per wikipedia check out the basic definitions of Aquaponics here --->>> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquaponics
