RE: Hydroponic Growing Methods Part 1 Dutch Buckets
Hi @jed78 - I've done some research on hydroponics but honestly, I'm leaning more towards an aquaponics system. I like the idea that it generates its own sort of ecosystem and I have fresh fish to eat - and it's all organic. I'll be starting very small - not nearly the footprint you've got going on! Good luck!
Yea a large system like this would be harder to do thru aquaponics, simply due to the large amounts of fish storage that would be needed, and to be honest, it's a full time job selling tomatoes. I don't know if I could handle all the fish too.
there's a local guy who does aquaponics on a large scale than I would ever consider. Half the time he can't give the tilapia away. If I started, I would probably stick with bass and catfish in the beginning. Have you thought about expanding your produce? I hear lettuce and strawberries do really well
