A Community and Forum For Aquaponic Gardeners
Sahib Aquaponics
Information
This is a group for those that want to stay connected with Sahib Aquaponics. Sahib's goal is to be at the forefront of sustainable urban gardening by adopting the latest Aquaponics technologies and growing methods to provide both high quality food and fish, competitively priced, grown locally and grown naturally. Sahib combines the various methods of growing using Aquaponics and the resulting Hybrid systems he creates ensures that there is optimal use of the rich effluent fish water. He recognizes that it is crucial to make use of as much of the solids as possible to grow the maximum possible food in the most economic way and in the least amount of space - which is always at a premium in urban areas.
Sahib's Aquaponics Research Farm uses a hybrid Aquaponics system with deep-water raft culture, media bed, various vertical towers, NFT and recirculating wicking beds. He also combines it all with plants in the ground and waters them with AP water. Complicated yet Sahib explains it all in lay man's terms
Visit us often and see what new methods and improvements Sahib is undertaking.

A brief walk in Phase 1 of Sahib Aquaponics Research Farm showing some of the recent updates we have undertaken since our last video. Our Hybrid Aquaponics systems provide us with so much produce from the "tiny" wasteland plot that we want to share such information so as to empower everyone to be able to grow their own food locally, naturally and without and harmful pesticides or chemical fertilizers.

Thank you John,
The media selection depends upon how you configure the mini vert towers...you can use dense filter material, rocks, Hydroton, expanded shale, horticubes, coir, wood chips or similar mixture 9add some worm castings or worms), if bottom is closed. Experiment with what you have locally available.
God bless
