Aquaponics is the combination of growing plants and fish together in an aquatic environment with little or no soil. It is a combination of aquaculture, which is raising fish, and hydroponics, which is growing plants without soil. The fish waste and other organic material provide a natural fertilizer which is broken down and converted by bacteria into nutrition for the plants. The plants gradually filter the nourishing water as it is returned to the fish tanks. This cycle demonstrates a complete nitrogen cycle in a natural ecosystem. Vegetables grown in this way are a premium and healthy product.
Aquaponics grows a vast amount of healthy and natural produce in a fraction of the space, while using significantly less water than traditional farming . JD Aquaponics recycles water in a closed system of vertical grow towers and a large fish pond. Our produce is grown in an off-grid greenhouse over 5000 feet in Clinton, MT. The balance of fish, oxygen loving bacteria, and plants results in a beautiful and natural growing environment and product.
