Aquaponics is a technique of organic farming that can be used both indoors and outdoors. This way folks can grow their own organic plants without using any chemical fertilizers. At its best, it uses less space, but offers more growth and less water usage. Farm indoor or outdoor, in very less space, with more growth and less water usage. Here’s the project, from Team Neuron: Suraj S Jain, puneeth, SONAL KUMAR via hackster.io

The system consists of two tubs. The tub in the bottom would have water and fishes in it. The tub at the top would have plants in it. Plants can either planted into pots or planted directly into the tub at the top. Care should be taken that there’s gravel placed below the sand so that the sand does not seep in through the holes in the pot or the tub, with the excess water flowing out of the tub or the pots and enter the fish tank.

See project!
