Use Dirty Aquarium Water to Fertilize Plants
By David Galloway
Dec 11, 2011

If you have both an aquarium or a garden (or just a few houseplants) you should consider using the waste water from the aquarium on your plants. In addition to fish wastes and decaying fish food particles the water also contains helpful bacteria and trace nutrients that can help your plants thrive.

The author also points out that if you lose fish you should dig them into your garden soil rather than flushing them away for even more natural fertilizer.

But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

That's why the rats in the sewers get so big.......


Don't forget pond water can be used the same way.

Stop by anytime to see the Aquaponics system in the basement at Homegrown Gardening Solutions. It is amazing to see how succulent the lettuce gets with the fish nutrients. We are constantly experimenting and open to ideas! 303-838-1717 Open Mon-Sat 11-6
