<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Aquaponics is a new up and coming way of backyard gardening. Fish live in harmony with plants which keep each other healthy. The bacteria turn the fish waste into usable nutrients for the plants, which in turn provides clean water for the fish. In the end, you can harvest both vegetables and fish.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><strong>Do you want to grow fresh vegetables and harvest fish from your backyard quickly?</strong><p><em>"Plants grow extremely rapidly because they have all the nutrients and water they need. It's much better than field production because, in the soil, you have insects and not enough water or nutrients,"</em></p><ul><li><p>Dr. James Rakocy, "Father of Aquaponics," and former professor at the University of the Virgin Islands</p></li></ul><p>Would you like to harvest fresh vegetables and fish from your backyard?</p><p>Are you looking for a new challenge where the goal is to provide healthy food for your family?</p><p><strong>In </strong><strong>Aquaponics </strong><strong>for Beginners you will discover: </strong></p><ul><li>Why aquaponics is an excellent way of growing vegetables</li><li>The nutrient cycle that makes aquaponics possible</li><li>7 systems you can use to grow fresh produce</li><li>How to use biological surface area to calculate your system</li><li>The one thing an aquaponics system can't function without</li><li>The amount of feed for optimal plant and fish growth</li><li>How to increase available nutrients in your system</li><li>The ratio's that make commercial farms profitable</li><li>9 steps to start your own aquaponics system</li><li>Best fish for aquaponics and troubleshooting fish diseases</li><li>Best plants to grow and which ones to avoid</li><li>15 mistakes you need to avoid if you are new to aquaponics</li><li>18 advanced techniques you can apply yourself to level up your system</li><li>9 design plans to inspire you for making your system</li><li>My personal cheat sheet I use for designing an aquaponics system</li></ul><p>A few years ago, I didn't know anything about aquaponics.

He should have called it "Aquaponics for Everyone."<br>If Nick ever writes another book, I'll pick that up on day 1.</p><p>I have an aquaponics system (I call my experiment) in the backyard. Been doing it for a number of years and read a few other books. This one is the best by far I have read. There is no one way of doing this and every setup has its own conditions. This is helping me get a better-balanced system. My fish have thrived while my plants are weaker. I am already working on a better settling system with a pump to reduce the solids - as he explained what is happening to my system based on my observations matching the book. Thank you! I recommend it for anyone starting out or tinkering with existing systems. BTW I have plants on rafts, in 3-inch PVC pipe/mesh cups, and in clay pellets. I have 3 types of ponds running. As I said, I am trying to play with everything to see what works best in my climate and space constraints (Florida).</p><p>The author has provided essential calculations and information that help a lot. The book is superb for Aquaponic Hobbyists but of limited value to those who want to build a large system. </p><p>This is full of useful information and, as I set up my own system, I turn to it religiously. I have a couple of other books, all more expensive, but none as easy to understand as this. Definitely worth buying. </p><p>Hope to build an aquaponics system. The author is experienced and has explained the process of aquaponics in an easy to read and understand format. I have other books on this subject and this book appears to me to be the best.</p><p>Good level of detail, cookbook approach, with well defined and guided steps with a lot of information and experience in one place. It is worth the money you pay. I am recommending it. </p><br>
