Fish food is the main input in an aquaponics system, therefore it is important to feed your fish the right nutrition not only for the health of your fish but also because fish food becomes fish waste that is the main source of nutrients that feed the plants.
Vermicompost is the end product of vermicomposting, a process that uses earthworms (red worms in aquaponics) to increase the speed of the composting process. The chemical secretions in the worms’ digestive tract help break down the soil and other organic matter, so the worm castings contains more nutrients available to the plants.
