The Latest Aquaponics Gardening

Plants using aquaponics

In this application we present a way of making the latest and most interesting aquaponic gardening, and also you can enjoy it as your inspiration, which is no less interesting This application you can enjoy off line.

Before starting to create an aquaponic garden, we must first determine the type of aquaponic whether Raft, NFT or Ebb & flow. Also keep in mind that the priority of an aquaponic garden is to produce plants that grow with this system. Not produce fish.

Why is that?

This is because the crop gives a greater yield than the fish. Plants also give faster results than fish. Therefore, the plant is much more profitable than fish. For beginners should make aquaponik ebb & flow system but slightly modified. The point is for flushing or drainnya should not use a bell siphone, but use a timer. Timer is an electrical device that is used to set how long the pump engine turns on, and when the pumping machine is alive again. Thus, this system can be more energy efficient than the regular ebb & flow system. The timer can be purchased at the electrical store or can order to us.

Then what it takes to make aquaponik other than timer.

OK. First of course we need a pond to accommodate fish. Fish ponds can be made from anything. Large bucket, tarpaulin pond, cement pool or anything that can be used to accommodate fish.

Secondly, we need a pump that will pump water from the fish pond to the planting medium. Large pumps we adjust to the large pool and area of ​​planting media that we will make.

Thirdly, we need planting spots. Commonly used PVC gutter filled by planting medium.

Fourth, we need planting media. In a variety of information the people using krikil rocks are cheap enough or some are using clay balls called hydrotons are quite expensive.

We ourselves currently use a medium-size brick (not too smooth and not too rough). If it is too smooth, water is difficult to get out and can cause root decay. If it is too rough, the media will dry quickly.

Fifth and sixth, of course we need fish and plants.

However, before we plant fish and plants, it should be noted the sequence of making aquaponic as follows:

1. Prepare all necessary equipment: pool, water pump, gutter, automatic timer, pralon glue, gutter cover, pvc pipe, brick liniment, etc.

2. Create an aquaponic system whereby water from the pond is pumped into a pralon pipe that has been filled with brick-cutting media. Water that has been pumped into the planting medium should return to the pond again. Make sure the flow of water that is pumped into the planting medium is not too heavy so as not to flood the planting medium and no leakage on the planting medium.

3. Set the timer on / off at the desired time. Usually 15 minutes of flame, one hour turns alternately. That is, planting media watered for 15 minutes, then dried for 1 hour.

4. When the system is smooth, just enter the fish gradually. But please be careful. First, select cheap fish first. For example, small goldfish as many as a few tail.

5. We can start planting. To plant, I propose to plant from seeds that can be purchased from Trubus or from the market. For example we buy chili, then we can plant seeds.

This aquaponic goodness is that we do not need special treatment in the nursery process. Simply spread the seeds over the planting medium. A few days later it would have germinated. Also the plants do not need to be moved to produce.

So little info starts aquaponic. Good luck.
