Laughter is brightest where food is best - Irish Proverb
Put simply, Aquaponics is growing plants in water using the nutrients from fish waste. It is one of the oldest means of growing crops known to man and is one of the kindest to the environment. It uses no chemicals, no fertilizers and 95% less water than mainstream horticulture. What's not to like?
Aquaponics is yet to become mainstream in the UK, despite being used extensively across the world, which is why we are excited. We have learnt from Aquaponics UK, and worked with a small group of other entreprenuers, to design our own bespoke concept.
