If you have mature plants, or access to them, cuttings do extremely well in aquaponics. Happy Monday!

The red and blue light spectra are what plants need. So make sure you're giving them what they need to feed. And, as always, Rock on, Aquapons!

Hollanda’da, yeni teknolojilerin toplum ve kültür ile etkileşimi üzerine bir araştırma laboratuvarı olan Mediamatic, PORT IZMIR 3 Tanıtım Günleri kapsamında geçtiğimiz hafta İzmir’deydi. İki gün süren “Miniponics” isimli atölyede, Mediamatic ekibi katılımcılar ile birlikte pet şişe, halat ve bambudan oluşan akuaponik bir sistem tasarladı. Balık ve sebze ekimini birleştiren sürdürülebilir gıda üretim sistemi olan akuaponik, bitkisel besinler içine balık atıkları dönüştürmek için doğal bakteri döngüsü kullanan bir kapalı dikey sistemdir. Ofisler, evler ve hatta dar balkonlar için uygun olan miniponic enstalasyonları, küçük ölçekte başarılı bir kentsel tarım uygulaması olarak görülebilir. Geleneksel tarım uygulamalarının aksine, miniponic sistemler, su harcamıyor, gübreye ihtiyaç duymuyor ve dikey tasarımı sayesinde çok az yer kaplıyor.

Mediamatic, a Dutch research lab concerned with the influence of new technologies on society and culture, visited Izmir last week in the context of PORT IZMIR 3 Triennial. Presenting a two day workshop on “Miniponics”, Mediamatics introduced an aquaponic installation consisting of little more than a PET bottle, rope and some bamboo. Aquaponics is a sustainable food production system that combines the cultivation of fish and vegetables. It is a closed vertical system that utilizes natural bacteria cycles to convert fish waste into vegetable nutrients. Suitable for offices, for living rooms and for the narrow balconies, miniponic installations are likely to be the best way to produce food in the city. Unlike traditional agriculture, miniponics wastes no water, doesn’t need any fertilizer and its vertical design takes up very little space.
