That is a very interesting aquaponic garden. I did not realize that tomatoes and strawberries can be planted on aquaponic setup. Thank you for sharing it here!
Do you put any fertilizer mixed with the water or you just rely on the nutrients produced by the fishes? Based on your conclusion, have you come up with a good ratio of fishes versus the plants?
By the way, what is that pond plant? It looks like watercress, is it?
Thank you for your comment on my post!
With the fish in the tank, you would not use fertilizers, that could possibly harm the fish. The idea is to just use the nutrients produced by the fish.
I have not figured out a good ratio of fish to plants yet, but I do know that I need more fish in the tank than I had. The number of fish in the tank also depends on the size of the fish. Larger fish would produce more waste for the plants to use, so you wouldn't need as many.
These floating plants are called water lettuce by the places that sell them. I don't know if the plant is edible.
Now I learned something new that fishes alone can supply nutrients for plants. That is a very good way to re-use waste into something beneficial.
Thank you for all the clarifications! 😊
