The everworsening economy is making it increasingly difficult for families to afford healthy food. However, it is possible to empower your family’s health and supplement your income by creating an organic garden using supplies readily available at home.
Imagine having fresh organic greens growing in your backyard, such as spinach, lettuce, Swiss chard, arugula, wheatgrass or radish sprouts. Such an aquaponics garden system is not only healthy but also eco-friendly, as it produces organic greens using a combination of aquaculture and hydroponics in which fish droppings are used as compost to fertilize vegetable plants. This holistic way of farming is a sufficient and cost-saving approach to producing organic vegetable yields, which can be used to supplement the household’s diet or even sold for profit.
Aquaponics farming is easy to set up and to maintain, and is an activity suitable even for seniors who may otherwise experience difficulty in bending and moving. After the initial investment, which is minor when compared to traditional farming and gardening costs, the aquaponics system can be maintained virtually for free while producing yields ten times greater than those with traditional farming. Additionally, an aquaponics garden does not require the use of any harmful chemical fertilizers, which makes it eco-friendly, natural and safe for consumption.
Why spend a fortune on produce at the market when you can grow your own organic vegetables and fish in your backyard with as little effort and expense as possible? Start your own aquaponic garden today and enjoy the benefits for years to come!
