Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

You could finish up with a few nasties in your system by adding food waste to your growbed and the worms wouldn't be cleaning up the plant's roots as they do normally, they'd be feeding off your food scraps and hanging around in your plastic bucket.

The worms help breakdown the fish solids in your growbeds and they don't need any other food.

I don't filter anything in my system, I let the waste go to the beds and every word I see I add to my beds. The only bed that has a problem with this is my DWC, which I siphon waste from when I change plants out and have an empty raft I can remove.
