Growing Beans and Tomatoes in Aquaponics
Aquaponics is soilless growing method that utilizes the nutrients found in fish water to fertilize and hydrate plants. Green Beans and Tomatoes are some of the vegetables that grow well in Aquaponics, but tomatoes require a higher fish load than I have in my greenhouse, so I supplement the fish water in my Hydroponic tomato Deep Water Culture (DWC) grow beds with a 4-18-38 tomato hydroponic formula, adding a Calcium Nitrate 15.5-0-0 formula to the baby tomatoes plants during the first month of growth. While the fish water in my bean bins cycle periodically through the grow bins and back into the fish tank several times a day on a closed circuit with no nutrients added to the bean grow tubs, my tomato plants function strictly as hydroponic grow bins with fish water not cycling back into the tanks since my additional tomato Hydroponic nutrients are harmful to fish.
