Chapter 12: Managing the Plants and Harvesting Them
With plants producing the majority of profit for most commercial aquaponics systems, it’s surprising that many newcomers to the field spend little time considering their care. Plants are often assumed to be less complex than fish and basically need little to no attention. Unfortunately, plants often need more attention than fish in order to produce attractive and bountiful harvests. Plants aren’t hard to manage or harvest in an aquaponics system, but they do require some amount of care and proper handling to reach the consumer in top condition.
