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. |

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. |

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 Sent from my DROID SPYDER using Tapatalk 2 |
