According to Wikipedia, "Aeroponics is the process of growing plants in an air or mist environment without the use of soil or an aggregate medium (known as geoponics)." Simply put, I will be using plant mister heads from a lawn irrigation system to build the Aeroponics portion of the system, while using trays of some sort to hold the plants root systems for growth. Now for Aquaponics Wikipedia states that "Aquaponics is a sustainable food production system that combines a traditional aquaculture (raising aquatic animals such as fish, crayfish or prawns in tanks) with hydroponics (cultivating plants in water) in a symbiotic environment." Which really means I will basically be growing the Tilapia in large tanks, and using the water from those tanks to feed the plants in a recirculating fashion, i.e. the fish dirty the water with waste by-products and the plants use those by-products for growth thus cleaning the water which can be re-introduced back into the fish tanks. More details on this to follow.
Aquaponics has ancient roots, although there is some debate on its first occurrence: aztec cultiva...
