Get Involved Growing Aquaponic fish and lettuce at your school
Aquaponics the mixing of aquaculture (growing fish) and hydroponic (growing soilless plants) that mutually benefits both environments. Aquaponics uses no chemicals, requires 10% of the water needed for field plant production.
In aquaponics the waste from fish tanks is treated with natural bacteria that converts the waste, largely ammonia, first to nitrite and then to nitrate.

There are plenty of places where space is at a premium and people do not think they could grow any fruit or veg there but an Ecowall is proof that you can
Plants grow vertically out of the wall and up meaning that you can turn any container, prefab or school fence into an ecowall
