Aquaponics 101: Clean Food in No Time
As part of the "Grow Your Own Food Challenge" for the Grand Solar Minimum, Christian answers a question from a friend who is hesitant to start an Aquaponics system, fearing that it will be a huge time commitment. In fact, this is one of the simplest, cleanest, and least demanding ways to grow food, both now, and potentially in many different versions of the future.

Estimated cost for a simple 5-gallon tank and container for the plants (starting with just the containers, soil, and seeds)?
Depends on what you need to buy.
No need for soil in hydro/aqua ponics, but you have to provide amendments, whether that comes from the bottle or you make it from worms.
You can even use regular rocks as the substrate, but you have to make sure they are completely clean.
You don't need a water pump, but you have to circulate your water.
You might be able to pick up food-grade buckets for free from a local market.
Depends on how creative you want to be.
This system cost less than USD$100

Probably the only real cost is the rock wool or seed starting material and the seeds. The seeds will only cost a few bucks, depending on what you get.
Noted, thank you!
