How Many Aquaponic Plants Can I Grow?

That depends on the type of plant you are growing, but in general you can plant about twice as densely in aquaponics as you can in a traditional soil-based garden.

What Plants Can I Grow In Aquaponics?

We like to say “anything that grows up grows well in aquaponics”, although that does have a few caveats.  Acidic pH loving plants like blueberries won’t grow well in an aquaponic system because the fish could not tolerate the level of acidity that those plants require.  Also, deep-rooted crops such as corn or wheat likely […]

When Do I Add Plants?

We recommend adding plants as soon as you have started the aquaponic cycling process. Getting your plants in early gives them time to put down new roots and establish themselves before the fish are introduced and nitrates need to be absorbed.
