Now that you have an understanding of how Aquaponics works, you can
probably guess some of the many benefits of such a great system.
However, there may be some benefits that you overlooked or never even
thought about. The primary reasons people set up this organic
sustainable food production method are:- To improve health (100% organic food)
- To save money
- To help the environment
In addition to those benefits, aquaponics is also extremely easy to
set up. Because it requires such little space and doesn’t require a lot
of maintenance, it’s possible to set up your system in a very limited
space, hence the popular trend of “backyard aquaponics”.
One of the reasons some people don’t like about traditional farming
is the effort and work needed to properly maintain it. It requires a lot
of maintenance and constant monitoring. Harvesting is also a very time
consuming process. Aquaponics doesn’t have any of those issues because
after you set up your system (we’ll give you a full walkthrough in the
next chapter) maintaining it essentially means just feeding the fish.
Since this method uses the nutrient rich water from the fish tank to
fertilize the plants, your vegetables will grow in a fraction of the
time that they would if they were growing in soil. This means that you
can get your vegetables much quicker and pretty much have fresh food on a
whim. And due to the ease of the process, it’s very easy for people of
all ages to maintain and care for. Getting the family involved in your
aquaponics farm is a great way to have some fun while receiving many
other great benefits as well.
Whatever your reasoning is for utilizing aquaponics, you are making
one of the best decisions of your life and you won’t regret it.
