Dive into the fascinating world of aquaponics—a sustainable system where fish and plants thrive together in perfect balance! This engaging online class will introduce participants to the essentials of building and maintaining a home or small-scale aquaponics system.
You’ll learn what components are needed—from tanks and grow beds to pumps and plumbing—and discover where to find affordable, reliable materials locally or online. We’ll explore multiple setup designs, from simple backyard systems to more complex indoor arrangements, so you can choose the model that best fits your goals and space. Through guided discussion and demonstrations, we’ll examine how aquaponics works, the biology of the system, and how to select compatible species. We’ll also touch on the business and sustainability side—including how to market your organically grown herbs, flowers, or produce at local farmers’ markets or community outlets.
