RE: Meadows and Makers Challenge #2, My aquaponics entry
What the hell :D gardening seems to be exploding here on Steemit :D Even myself almost posted a post into one contest, but then realized it was already over haha :D
But this is crazy I've never heard of this type of symbiosis between pond fish and plants. Like..they kinda need each other. So what's the additional pond fish food then? Just some extra roots you can buy?
Btw I've seen some Jacque Fresco movies in the past and they were talking about growing olants without soil...kind of just hanging. Cuz it's more scalable. Do you think aquapontics is scalable this way?Or way too much fishes would be needed?
Haha just kill them whiteflies with raid :D That's for sure not harm for fish :D
Great post man, not even that long :) People overdo it often.
I feed the fish a regular pond fish food, that seems to do as well as any other food for them.
As to scalability, My system is really quite small. I've seen systems on youtube that have tanks that hold several thousand gallons of water and hundreds of fish. Of course, the growing beds are much larger also. The fish are usually tilapia, raised to eat, a double food system. People do aquaponics on a commercial scale in some of the big cities in the U.S.
I'm pretty sure ud be a rare case here are in Europe
