Hello everyone,

I want to make an aquaponic growing system at home to grow various kinds of vegetables and am wondering the following:

  • Since different plants have different ph and nutrient needs, how would they grow with one source (the pond would have some mid-point ph level around 6 and nutrient for the plants)?
  • Some plants require higher levels of certain nutrients, is it possible to plan how much the plant is going to "eat"? In terms of nutrient and overall water?
  • Can one plan to have separate ponds in the system to allow different nutrient mixes?


I hope my questions are clear enough. Anyways, thank you very much in advance for your help and time!
