Info Session Details

Info Session Overview
Upper Aquaponics Fish tanks
This session will introduce you to the start-up and operations of an Aquaponics system.
As a combination of hydroponics and aquaculture, aquaponics is more effective than either of those processes individually because it utilizes symbiosis. Think about the natural world – nothing goes to waste. What is considered waste from one process or organism becomes the nutrients for another process of another organism. This, in short, is a symbiotic relationship.
Are you interested in growing your garden without pesticides for your family in all seasons? Would you like to produce vegetables for resale at farmers’ markets or to local restaurants year-round? Or maybe you would like to grow your own personal cannabis plants with no fertilizers?
Come and learn about Aquaponics and how it can grow fantastic, healthy produce (and protein) for you and your family! Indoor, year-round, pesticide and fertilizer free, low water usage, set up in your home, garage, greenhouse or even outdoors for the summer using a pond!
Join us for an Aquaponics Information Session to learn how you can do-it-yourself and apply this closed-looped system easily in your indoor (24/7 and 365 days a year) gardening and growing today!
