I had estimated about 50 crops would do well in aquaponics systems, lettuce, basil, tomatoes, and strawberries were all expected plants. I did not expect it would be possible to grow carrots in aquaponics, not only do they grow but they flourish in a media bed, as well as fruit trees including bananas and avocadoes. Over 280 plants, vegetables and fruits are currently being successfully cultivated in aquaponics systems around the world! I was amazed I had no idea about the versatility of aquaponics! Those of you who have systems up and running what have you been successful at growing? What didn’t work for you?
Year round locally grown fruit…yes please!
