The main problem people find with hydroponic gardening is you will have to provide the water with the required nutrients, which are most of the time chemicals, so the taste of the crops is not really the one people were hoping for.

Likewise, individuals trying to switch over to organic products have a hard time in handling the chemical additions from the hydroponically-grown vegetables.

The aquaponic gardening system is a mixture somewhere between the aquaculture system, as it requires growing fish in a special aquarium and hydroponics, as it includes growing plants with water and nutrients.

You will probably wonder what part the fish play in this type of organic gardening.

Well, this is simplicity itself: the excrement from the fish consists of ammonia which is later decomposed in nitrites and nitrates.

The nitrates will benefit the plants by offering them enough nutrients to grow naturally, just as they would in a garden environment.

Hence, there will be no need to supply your plants with chemical compounds as they will get all the nutrients and food they require.

This results in a number of benefits that the aquaponic system has over the hydroponic one.

Initially, the vegetables will have a much better taste as they will develop, just with natural food and at their own pace, organically.

This will give them that delicious taste that so many people have forgotten, you like so much in home grown organic veggies.

The big plus with aquaponics systems, is that the system is easier. Because you will not need to feed your plants each and every day.

Make sure that your fish are in good shape and afterwards just let nature take its course. Now does that sound perfect or what?

Another bonus with aquaponics gardening systems is, you do the great majority of your work at waist height.

Back-breaking gardening tasks will become a thing of the past!

Lastly however, but certainly not least, with the aquaponic system you do not just grow delicious organic vegetables, you also have fish which you can make use of for decorative purposes or you can prepare tasty meals for you and your family.

Aquaponics is an enhanced variation of the hydroponic system. The crops are much better, tastier and the process is simpler. In addition to that you get to consume organic food and eat fresh fish!
