Hydroponics and aquaponics share a few similarities. Aquaponics combines hydroponics and aquaculture in a controlled environment, to create a balanced ecosystem that benefits crops as well as the fish. In both systems, plants give better results in the growth as compare with those plants that are grown in soil. https://www.hydroponicxpress.com.au/
Hydroponic Hydroponics is a subset of hydroculture, which is the growing of plants in a soil less medium, or an aquatic based environment. Hydroponic growing uses mineral nutrient solutions to feed the plants in water, without soil and it’s also popular among marijuana growers.
AquaponicS A combination of fish and plant production using aquaculture and hydroponics systems, Aquaponics is moving from the realm of experimental to commercial. Learn more about this production system and if it might be right for your backyard garden or farming operation
Hydroponic Advantage Disadvantage You can grow anywhere. You'll use 20% less space for growing. No soil setup and testing hassles. Uses 20 times less water. than soil based gardening. Harvesting is easier. Hydroponic system isn’t cheap. Constant monitoring is required Water and electricity risks. Long return per investment. Diseases & pests may spread quickly
AquaponicS Advantage Disadvantage Plants are fertilized naturally with fish byproducts. Growth of plants is significantly faster. Easier to setup for year round use. Reduced damage from pests and disease. No weeding or bending down. You need a green house. Requires technical knowledge of aquaponics systems. High start-up investment costs for aquaponics technology and equipment. Energy usage is rather high with these systems. Complicated for the amount of fish.
