What is Aquaponics?
"Aquaponics is the cultivation of fish and plants together in a constructed, recirculating ecosystem utilizing natural bacterial cycles to convert fish waste to plant nutrients. This is an environmentally friendly, natural food-growing method that harnesses the best attributes of aquaculture and hydroponics without the need to discard any water or filtrate or add chemical fertilizers." --Aquaponic Gardening Community, November 2010
So, what does an Aquaponics system actually look like? Check out the photos from the Farm on Ogden, Chicago Botanic Garden in Illinois.
