Grow Your Own Fish - In a Greenhouse.



Greenhouse Aquaponics: here is easily the most complex aquaculture process. (Photo from eagelspringcom.net) Situated inside a greenhouse, it requires intensive management and machinery: pumps, oxygenators or aerators. Using plants, the need for filtration is greatly reduced or eliminated. While you can grow herbs, tomatoes, cucumbers and lettuce, remember that fish live in the water. Nutrient resources for greenhouse aquaculture need be completely organic. Fungicides, insecticides, and herbicides are a definite no-no.
