AQUAPONICS 101 (10.18.14) - The Homestead Atlanta
Aquaponics is a soil-less gardening system that uses natural fertilizer & recirculating water to grow vegetables. Sunday, Oct. 18, 2014
Aquaponics is a soil-less gardening system that relies on natural fertilizer and recirculating water to grow vegetables in a fraction of the time required with growing in soil.
This class will go over the basic components of an aquaponics setup and how to go about the design/build process for making your own system. You will be able to see an aquaponics system in action at the instructor’s Southwest Atlanta home.
You are encouraged to bring photos and/or sketches of a place you would like to build a system. We can discuss how to plan out a system that will work for you and options for acquiring the materials.
