Let’s Consider the Two Principle Workers:
Aquaponics utilizes natural processes. We rely on these natural processes to produce a truly organic nutrient bank. - Nitrosomonas Bacteria - Nitrobacter Bacteria These two bacteria are naturally occurring. They are in the soil and water all around us. When we provide the starter compound, ammonia, the bacteria swing into action and grow and multiply according to their food source. The nitrogen cycle TheNitrosomonas bacteria convert the ammonia to Nitrite, and when Nitrite is present, then theNitrobacter Bacteria convert the Nitrite to Nitrate. Nitrate is, of course, the principal plant food for all plants, in particular leafy green plants such as vegetables. To reiterate - it is important to understand that there is a myriad of . . .
