Most business start ups will require special skills or a lot of start up capital. Skills can be learned but for most, coming up with money to start a business can be difficult. If this is the case, it may be best to find a business with a low start up cost. Aquaponics farming is an example of a business you can start with very few skills and very little start up cost.

The second benefit that is my personal favorite is the fact that all the produce you grow with fish aquaponics is organic. You know exactly what’s been done to get these tomatoes and it didn’t involve shady farming practices.

You will do yourself a great favor by positioning your grow bed at a comfortable working level. For most people this will be around waist level. This is one of the advantages over growing crops in the soil. No bending over aquaponics working on the ground.

This is what people are starting to do and it is creating spectacular results. Hydroponics is one way to do this but it comes with a few problems that most people don’t want to deal with. That is until someone solved those problems with aquaponics. With both hydroponics and aquaponics how to, the plants are grown in containers without soil. they are given a constant supply of nutrient rich water, sometimes with a growing medium like gravel, and sometimes without.

It takes away a lot of the back breaking work of a typical vegetable garden because the plants can be harvested above ground level and there is no need for any weeding. The watering can will also become a tool of the past as the system waters itself.

Though there is an ever-growing trend of eating organic, the market is hard to navigate. Not all the products claiming to be organic are always this way. Moreover, you can spend more on products claiming to be organic and end up getting lower quality than the normal vegetables grown with pesticides. The only way you can be sure that the food you are consuming is 100% organic is to start growing it yourself.

Everything you need to start your aquaponics experience and have fresher, less tainted foods, where to place the pots, such as waist level versus the ground is all in the How to Aquaponics guide.
