First agricultural post. This is exciting!
Some definition for clarification...
Aquaculture- raising fish in big tubs; fish meant to be eaten that is.
Hydroponic- growing plants (usually vegetables and herbs) in water instead of soil.
Aquaponic- using the yucky poop water from the fish tank to water/fertilize the yummy plants.
Okay, so this is a system designed to maximize organic food production while using limited resources wisely. Question is, will it work and is it practical...in Honduras. Six months from now I will know the answer to this question, hopefully.
For now I have more questions.
What is available to make this system out of? And is it affordable?
There is a bazillion ways to set up the system. Which is the best for flaky electricity?
Will it be managed correctly?
How hard is it to operate a system, really? It sounds like the pH and the temperature are tricky to control.
Would the people even eat the fish, usually tilapia? I'm not a tilapia fan. Trout, yes. Tilapia, no.
Speaking about fish, I want to go fishing.
Speaking about fishing, I want to go camping.
Speaking about camping, I want a s'more.
Oh, wait...this post is about aquaponics.
Thoughts?
