ShingarPonics, Hydroponics
Hydroponics is a type of horticulture and a subset of hydroculture, a method of growing plants, usually crops, without soil, by using mineral nutrient solutions in an aqueous solvent.
Aquaponics
Aquaponics is a food-production system that couples aquaculture (raising aquatic animals such as fish, crayfish, snails or prawns in tanks) with hydroponics (cultivating plants in water). Nutrient-rich aquaculture water feeds the hydroponically grown plants, with nitrifying bacteria converting ammonia into nitrates.
