With traditional farming facing so many challenges and with more persons tapping into the new technologies available for growing, Alfred Brazier of Shaade Hydroponics, and Wayne Gardener of Lincoln Farms, have embarked on a business venture which is a one-stop shop to get persons growing in these new ways with their brainchild, Aquatic Solutions.
Aquaponics is the integration of aquaculture, which is fish farming, and hydroponics, which is growing vegetables in a soil-less culture, mainly water. In aquaponics, the nutrients are harnessed from the fish to grow the vegetables through filtration methods.
