What is Aquaponics?
As defined by the Aquaponic Association, “…aquaponics is a synergistic growing technique in which fish and plants are grown together in the same systems. The fish waste feeds the growing plants using organic hydroponic techniques. The plants, in turn, clean and filter the water that returns to the fish environment.”
These principles and the practicality of aquaponics are on display at the Together We Stand Hollywood Lake Garden project. Here we demonstrate that with a little effort everyone has the ability of creating a sustainable living environment, even in their own backyard. Growing a variety of healthy organic produce and farming high protein fish, such as tilapia. The crops are always in rotation; you will never see the same product growing twice in the same place.
