any tips on growing root vegetables in aquaponics? I am growing in a kitty pool filled with gravel.

@ParadiseSurplus Plant it and see how you go. We tend to use expanded clay for root vegetables, but I've seen plenty of people grow carrots gravel.

do you have plants growing in the fish tank as well?

[backyardaquaponics]

@alanrigalan We often having plants in floating pots or growing in polystyrene floating on the water surface.

Can you also grow fruit in these tanks too, like strawberries and raspberries and all those types of things?

Now you just need a landscape architect to integrate everything into a nice backyard garden!

Do you use a bell system for flood and drain or just a continuous flow rate.I would guess flood and drain. Thank you for some feedback. I like the system and plan on getting two in the near future.

Do you plant the seeds directly into the grow beds or you transfer the plants?

[backyardaquaponics]

@alanrigalan Plants just tend to grow at different rates depending on how ideal the conditions are. A lot of it depends on the fish species, the temperature, whether solids are being removed, and what fish feed is being used.
