What are the BEST PLANTS to grow in AQUAPONICS?

People always ask me - what are the best plants to grow in aquaponics? In this video we discuss what plants I would avoid, and what plants I think you can make a profit on in an aquaponics system.

Thank you so much for the great tips. I’ve converted a 25m swimming pool into an aquaponic system and I have no idea what I’m doing, but you do! You’ve saved me a lot of hard work! Cheers.

I planted legume beans once in a small basket on the side, it grew like mad and was producing more beans than I could eat lol, it's a mad crop if you have a place for it

Pretty rad that you have us some warnings about plants that might not be worthwhile for people growing on a larger scale. I am not but I still would like to learn as much as possible

Lettuce, nak choy, leafy greens, kale, basil .. thank you for the valuable experience and knowledge.

Thanks for your valuable comments on Aquaponics

Wait a minute - I thought I was watching a wrong video - instead of what plant to grow - he started with what not to grow.

Anyway great video. Keep it up 👍

You are a good instructor. Very informative e.

By far the best aquaponics channel I've found

[digitalmarketingwithbrye]

[leemiller]

Yes for some root crops areoponics seem to be the best like potatoes but there's also iAVS "sandponics" corn and carrots do well in these systems along with other root crops plus the sand beds when done right are a solids filter/bio-filter, along with adding vital minerals that normal aquaponics is missing and a bunch of other stuff

There's also drz "dual root Zone" bags in a media bed work well and you can add additives that you wouldn't add into a fish system

Great video.
Possible for you to make a video, taking about
Getting fish for the first time for the water tank.
Type of water needed for aquaponics system.
Ratio of How many fish inside litres of water etc.

Great insight, could you not grow carrots in sand and have a wicking action, if to many people grow the quick simple leafy greens would this not then drive your profits down, I'm in England so don't have the long growing seasons so a lot of places then need to use light, I've been toying with the idea once I have time to try out hydroponics but to grow root crops. 👍👍👍

I've tried talking to family and some friends about aquaponics. What's s good way to talk to them without them being grossed out or worrying about your mental health? They don't understand the science behind how waste is converted into fertilizer and how it's safe when it comes to pathogens because fish don't carry Salmonella or E. Coli...

7:20 basil. Love basil. Commercial grower here and basil grows like a weed in our system.

But marketing fresh basil is tough. It gets spotty in the fridge in about 3 days

Happens in a bag, or stored in the open.

How do you handle the one thing in my GH that makes me want pizza?

Hallo saya dari indonesia. Saya akan banyak belajar dari anda

[DocumentaryDoc]

Do think a group of people could build a 30 story aquaponics skyscraper/vertical farm/grocery store in 10 years or do you think it's more like 20 or would a warehouse size be the biggest we'll get to?
Although I did see they're doing something similar in Singapore.

There is a much better way to grow root crops with hydroponics... you have the potatoes suspended in the air and you spray water at the roots, this is called aeroponics, look it up

I'm here looking for something other than houseplants to grow out the back of my big guppy tank. Thinking something perrenial and that likes a pH of 7.4 with plenty of hardness.
