Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

I was doing some research into growing lemon, oranges and mandarins in AP system and want to know what steps can be done to grow these trees or do they require to grown in the ground.

I had done the research only to come up with nothing about weather if the aquaponics system can effect the fruit trees that I mention or would they grow better straight into the ground. Would there be a difference in the growth of the fruit or would they kill the trees altogether.

For novelty value , good fun...
Me , I'd plant trees in the ground and water occasionally with fishtank water
But we eat shitloads of vege...

Am curious to know if dwarf species will fair better.

Fruit trees, especially dwarf grow fine.

Ive had a dwarf nectarine tree in my system for a while now. Seemed a good choice so not to take up too much space. Its growing well.

we have dwarf apple trees, they go alright, didn't get fruit this year but it was their first year

This though had actually crossed my mind as well. I was wondering about the idea of just watering them every once in a while with some fish water, but without normally having the fish waste there, would the dirt have that bacteria needed to break it all down? Ain't sure about that cause if not, I don't think it'd b good for it.

Planning on buying a house in 2 years so these thoughts kinda been running through my head as well
