a garden powered by fish!
Fish eat, they poop/have bio-waste, the grow beds, acting as a filter, are laced with a good Bacteria that breaks down the bio-waste/poop (now known as Ammonia).
This Ammonia, is then broken down again, into Nitrites.
The Nitrite is broke down even more into Nitrate. ( remember it like this, I before A )
The Nitrates are then eaten by the plants. It is actually the plants that clean the water and return it to the fish. Where it all begins again.

ants play an important role in this stuff, it seems as if Aphids are grown by the ants on plants for later harvest.

What’s more strange… I’m seeing bees doing the job of flies. working the decaying plant matter and trimmings not just pollinating. They say bees are leaving; their just doing more, I guess

I bet you have no aphid problems is that correct? This is what is interesting I have aphids attacking a plant that is 3 feet from the aquaponic plants but the aphids will not go after the aquaponics and I am happy yes but wonder why? Just another another reason to keep exploring this wonderful way to grow food I guess 🙂
