Aquaponics Designs, Hydroponics Designs, Vertical Growing De

Aquaponic, hydroponic, and vertical growing designs are excellent systems with limitless variations. In essence, the system involves keeping tilapia in a tank while growing plants in gravel. A water pump is used to pump water from the fish tank, which fertilizes the plants. The filtered water then drops back down to the fish tank, providing aeration for the fish. This creates a perfect cycle where the fish feed the plants, and the plants help feed the fish, ultimately providing food for you. This system can be made entirely organic by feeding the fish with organic food. It's also a straightforward system that can be made self-sustainable by using solar power.

Hydroponic and aquaponic systems may seem alike at first glance, but in hydroponics, there are no fish involved. Both types of systems can be designed vertically. In hydroponics, you need to add nutrients to the water to fertilize the plants, which requires technical knowledge. However, in aquaponics, you deal with fish and their waste, which can complicate the process.

Vertical growing designs can be aquaponics or hydroponics. So instead of growing in a bed or a tube system you grow in vertical pots. You can incorporate vertical growing with a tube system and gravel bed. The beauty is it can be designed to fit whatever situation you have or want.

Living walls are a beautiful and unique way to incorporate nature into your home or workspace. They can be designed simply or elaborately, and can cover an entire wall while featuring a self-watering system. The attached photo is an example of a living wall that our team designed and constructed in an indoor bathroom. We offer plant consultations, plant care services, and general plant assistance to meet your specific needs.

Here we show how you can have a landscape-featured pond to grow your fish. This particular system actually grew an 11' tomato plant and produced great tomatoes and one tomato that was actually 10 lbs.

This vertical system utilizes a tub with goldfish and growing duckweed to generate an abundance of strawberries while also providing a free food source for tilapia.
