Get Involved Growing Aquaponic fish and lettuce at your school
Aquaponics the combination 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.

Ecowall in action
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
Does your school have a Bioshelter?
Bioshelters are solar greenhouses which enclose fish ponds, food crops, soil life and insect communities and they will fit into any spare space available.

Hydroponics4Life are proud to own the worlds first mobile aquaponic bioshelter. We will be visiting schools around the country showing people how aquaponics can change the way we grow food and try to help change the lives of children in the developing world.

Welcome to Holy Family & Oulder Hill
We would like to welcome to Holy Family & Oulder Hill schools to the hydroponics4life project.
We are hoping to recreate the success of the pilot project to link up primary and secondary schools in which the pupils were successfully able to take cuttings from various types of mint and transplant them into the aquaponic propagator allowing them see which rooted the fastest and which were more able to cope with stress.
Manchester Botanical Gardens
The Matthew Moss Team went to the Botanical Gardens with Hydroponics4Life, here a few of the pictures
Well done Matthew Moss
  
The pilot project with Matthew Moss High has been a great success. They now have three tanks and are passing on what they have learnt to Brimrod Primary School
