Hydroponie DIY en appartement Je revient de la visite du site d'aquaponie et très franchement, l'avenir est plus que prometteur pour l’agriculture urbaine. Premier point à retenir : la diminution de la distance entre le lieu de production alimentaire et les consommateurs locaux,en effet une diminution des transports diminue également le gaspillage énergétique lié à la consommation de carburant, ce qui entraîne également une diminution du coût de la nourriture produite. Second point : le rendement de la production de protéine animale et végétales, en effet il faut 20 kg de végétaux pour produire 1 kg de viande, alors qu'il ne faut que 5 kg de végétaux pour produire 1 kg de poissons, de plus on peut avec 30 truites par M cube, cultiver 10 m2 de cultures hydroponique. Troisième point : on peut produire tout ça SANS TERRE !

How to Build Indoor Hydroponic Gardens Using IKEA Storage Boxes Hey apartment and small space dwellers, here’s an easy DIY compact hydroponic indoor farm system you can make with repurposed off-the-shelf IKEA storage boxes. ELIOOO is not a product, it’s architect and designer Antonio Scarponi’s cleverly conceived and designed instruction manual that teaches any urban gardener how to build, operate, and maintain a choice of six variously sized and configured indoor hydroponic farms–from a small windowsill herb planter to a large mobile vertical garden. The Zurich-based designer’s interest in new ways of utilizing what we already have, rather than producing new things, led him to design with readily-available IKEA products,available almost anywhere in the world as well as online, offering easy access and the ability to calculate the cost. After a successful Indigogo crowdfunding campaign last fall, Scarponi spent several months completing the design manual which is now available for purchase as a book or an eBook. Why Hydroponics?
Growing and caring for Bonsai trees - Bonsai Empire The Nano Garden Lets You Grow Veggies Right in Your Kitchen Whether we're scouring the web for funky flower pots or turning old floppy disks into whimsical homes for herbs and succulents, we love all forms of creative gardening. Cities far and wide have started embracing rooftop gardens for bringing fresh local veggies in the spring, summer and fall to city folks. Fire escapes have become perfect spots for tomato plants, and windows have become increasingly jam-packed with basil, rosemary, mint, and sage. But, what about city dwellers and suburbanites who don't have access to a rooftop garden or plant-friendly fire escape? The Kitchen Nano Garden by Hyundai is a super cool concept for growing a vegetable garden right in your kitchen, without help from sun or rain. The concept takes tiered metal shelving, climate controlled panels, purposefully-directed lumens, and an attachment to a water source to make your indoor vegetable crop dreams a potential reality.
Desert Blooming Department: Back Yard Garden Pools! Graphic shows the Garden Pool’s model. / Courtesy Garden Pool Instead of water wings and inner tubes, Dennis and Danielle McClung’s backyard pool in Mesa, Arizona, is filled with tomato plants, grape vines and wheat. There’s a chicken coop and a fish pond, and the food that comes out of the pool, from tilapia to tomatoes, feeds the McClung family of five. It’s a system that took a few frustrating failures to perfect, but now the McClungs hope to take swimming-pool farming international. When the McClungs bought the foreclosed home in 2009, the backyard was a suburban wasteland with a cracked, concrete, in-ground pool. “The real estate agent told us we had to do something about the pool, but he didn’t give us a good option,” Dennis says. The McClungs has some farming and building experience — Dennis worked on a dairy farm and at Home Depot, and Danielle grew up on small farm in Ohio — and they’d been trying to become as self-sufficient as possible.

Everyone (Re)invents Aquaponics What follows is likely one of the most useful posts I've written. It's something I wish I'd known before I started down this road. However, I confess some conflict about posting it because it's potentially self-serving, given that a lot of people recently downloaded my plans. I've tried to mitigate this by sharing some other plans as options. Brilliant and interesting early-adopters, aquapons love nothing more than to innovate new paradigms and tear down sacred cows. Also, it’s kind-of a problem. The trouble comes when people like us try and do things by the book, someone-else’s way. You Won’t Believe What I Found in my Barn! I get a lot of emails and read a lot of forum posts. I’m so excited–I just learned about aquaponics and found your blog. When I see this kind of thing, I get both jazzed and sad at the same time, because–while I relate to the excitement of stumbling across this awesome hobby–I know all too well the road this person is starting down. It was pure hubris. Some Plans
Phosphorus in Aquaponics - Bright Agrotech Phosphorus in Aquaponics Phosphorus is one of the primary plant nutrients- the “P” in NPK ratings. It is often overlooked in aquaponic systems simply because it is seldom truly deficient. However, many aquaponic practitioners are not getting the best possible yields out of their flowering and fruiting crops because phosphorus (while not deficient) is not present in high enough amounts during critical stages in production. Phosphorus is very soluble, but also very sought after in the world of plants and algae. The cause of many algae blooms (see: eutrophication), is phosphorus from industrial agriculture that has washed from cropland into rivers and streams, and eventually the ocean. While there is a lot of phosphorus in circulation in nature, natural sources for agriculture are limited. oil” at length, most people are unaware that phosphorus in the form of rock phosphate (the primary source of phosphorus for industrial agriculture) is rapidly being consumed.
