Aquaponics: A Comprehensive Guide to Aquaponic Gardening - Hardcover

by Sheila Brown (Author)

Master a System that Can Feed You, Your Family, and Even Give You More than Enough to Sell Afterward if You Want

This book contains information on my experiences on aquaponics. I've included the successes and the failures so you can learn about this amazing method to grow your own food.

Popular writer T. L. Campbell said that "you're not an aquaponics farmer until you've killed fish," well you can be, but if you're going to learn to set up a system bigger than a bucket and a few goldfish this is true. You'll kill plants and fish; you'll have days when you wonder why you've sunk so much money into something that is driving you nuts (especially those darned nitrogen strips). But at the end of the day, you'll master a system that can feed you, your family, and even give you more than enough to sell afterward if you want.

Within this book, you'll find the answers to these questions and more. Just some of the questions and topics covered include

• Why I Chose Aquaponics
• In Depth: The Nitrogen Cycle & Aquaponics
• Designing Your System
• Before You Start
• Getting The Bacteria Right
• Choosing Living Creatures
• Troubleshooting and Maintenance
• And much more

Like most comprehensive books we'll start with the basics and go from there. I've tried to make this information make sense even if you've no previous science or agricultural knowledge. Even if you've never so much as had a goldfish you can still master aquaponics.
