Everything in my greenhouse is grown using aquaponics, which is the marriage of organic hydroponics and aquaculture (rasing fish). There is no soil, only inert clay balls called Hydroton. All the nutrients for the plants come from the fish waste, and the plants, in turn, filter the water for the fish.

Thanks, Kristen! I actually have a website with quite a bit of info at The Aquaponic Source (see the Learn section) and a blog called Aquaponic Gardening Blog that has even more info. I'm also in the process of writing a book that should be out late spring/ early summer that will go into more step-by-step "how-to" info. The cost to create an aquaponics system can be as little as $50 if you use mostly recycled / scavanged material and gravel, and if you want a beautiful, well-made system kit that will work straight out of the box, indoors and out our AquaBundance system is $1295.
