Vermiponics roundup: The beauty of worms in hydroponic gardens (Video) We know the benefits of hydroponic gardening, aquaponics and vermicomposting, and how practices like these can help the home gardener grow more food efficiently.
Vermiponics combines the best of the three in a self-sustaining mini-ecosystem, using the castings of red wriggler worms as fertilizer. The idea is that the cultivated plants and worms mutually benefit each other, much like the fish would in an aquaponic system. Compared to an aquaponic system though, worms in a vermiponic set-up requires less water and maintenance than fish would, making it an advantageous operation. Hydroponic Growth Journal.

First I removed all the aggregate and placed into a bucket for sanitizing, and I emptied the reservoir of last fall's nutrient solution. Hydroponic system - Alex's Hobby Site. Hydroponic irrigation can definitely benefit from a PV-powered circulation pump and/or a solar thermal system for keeping nutrients and plants warm in the winter.
I could not justify the cost of these for my small greenhouse and system in eastern Pennsylvania, but for a larger system I would definitely consider it! When I started building the greenhouse, I did not intend to experiment with hydroponics. I knew that I wanted an efficient irrigation system that would recycle the drained water and save my water bill and waste runoff, so I set out to design a system of troughs, one flowing into the next, all water being collected at the end. Each shelf is slightly angled to direct the water down and to a specific corner. I made the slope approximately 1/4" for every 2 feet of run. The starting point for water drainage is top right in the picture below, and the finish point will be bottom right. Below, finished trough channels water down to reservoir. 3 Easy DIY Greenhouses for Under $300. © Angela Davis It’s seed-starting season and spring is just around the corner.

L’aquaponie est un système permettant de combiner la culture de végétaux en hydroponie (culture hors-sol) avec l’élevage de poissons. En transformant les déchets azotés et phosphorés des poissons en nutriments pour les plantes, on crée un écosystème autonome. Le Jardin ComestibleLe Jardin Comestible. Permaculture Urbaine. Dans cet article nous traitons d’autonomie en ville qui est une des composante de la permaculture urbaine ou agriculture urbaine.
