During a recent Emergency Preparedness Fair, I shared a few key things on aquaponics:
1. Aquaponics uses less water than traditional gardens.
2. Aquaponic systems can be indoors.
3. There are no dirt or weeds in these systems.
4. A two bed system is able to supply enough veggies for a 4 person family.
5. Plants grow 2 to 4 times faster in an aquaponic system.
6. In an emergency, the water in the system can be boiled for drinking water.
7. Aquaponics out produces hydroponics after 6 months.
8. Fish provide an excellent source of protein in an emergency.
After the fair, I was approached by several people asking more questions. I suggest EDUCATION as the first step of preparedness. I made hundreds of costly mistakes that I could have avoided just by taking this course before delving into building a system. I took the course for $40 dollars and that saved me from making a bunch of errors with my next system.
