Aquaponics is a great way to grow fish and food together, but the biggest question for most people is how to grow. Since so many plants do well with aquaponics, it's easy to get over enthused and try and grow everything!
With the right set up, you can do this, but it's also going to be much harder to have healthy plants if you're a beginner, so it's a good idea to start out small. Similarly, even if you've picked out plants already growing them in a system that fits your space can be the bigger challenge.
