- All of the food (nutrients) for the plants arrives before the plants need it, or want it.
- The water is always available and it is refreshed a couple of times a day
- The light levels are always perfect in the structure
- The air circulates in a gentle fashion to help with pollination and to help avoid dampness in the structure
- The temperature is pleasant and varies a bit so as not to be monotonous
- There are no bugs or weeds or poisons or harsh chemicals used to contend with, ever.
- The water in the Portable Farms® Aquaponics Systems turns over ENTIRELY twice a day. Plus, all of the heavy fish poop has been removed and rerouted so it never flows into the Grow Tray or has contact with the plants.
As a result of an ideal environment:
- The plants grow faster than the seed packets say they will
- Food grown in an aquaponics system is much healthier than ‘regularly’ grown plants, and as a result, they are healthier for you, they TASTE BETTER and are higher in nutrition.
- The food in an aquaponics system is grown without any chemicals (think about it; if chemicals were used, it would kill the fish). The growing food is more beautiful with each passing day
- The plants mature in less time and require 90 to 95% less water than their dirt-grown friends
- The plants stay clean and dry at all times
- They are harvested when they are at their peak of ripeness and maturation which means their flavor and nutritional content are always at optimal levels
- They are simply the best vegetables on the planet.
