Aquaponic Greenhouses: The Ideal Solution for Your Horticultural Dreams

Discover the Unique Benefits of Aquaponic Systems

What differentiates aquaponics greenhouses, like the one in Shoji Garden, from other all-season greenhouses in Quebec?t uniquely integrates aquaponics—a sustainable method combining plant cultivation and fish farming—making it a standout in Quebec’s diverse agricultural scene. In this system, fish waste offers a rich cocktail of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which is transformed into vital nutrients for plant growth. Aerobic bacteria play a crucial role by filtering these droppings, making them safe for plant consumption, while the plants complete the cycle by purifying the water through their roots.

An Ancestral Technique with Modern Applications

Aquaponics is an ancient practice, reminiscent of the Asian rice fields and the pre-Columbian floating gardens. Today, it’s gaining popularity across North America and Australia, proving especially beneficial during the harsh Quebec winters. With an aquaponic system in place, you can maintain a thriving environment for both ornamental and edible fish species, like trout, all year round.

Perfect for Quebec winter!

An aquaponics system allows you to use your greenhouse all year-round. It will allow you to keep both your plants and fish warm. You can accommodate your ornamental fish by bringing them directly from your water garden. If you prefer, you can also choose an edible fish, such as trout.

Maintenance-Free Greenhouse Gardening

Aquaponics greenhouses are easy to maintain. Did you know that since their water is recycled and the fish provide natural fertilizer through their droppings, no watering, fertilizer or weeding is necessary? With an automatic fish feeder, your greenhouse is self-sufficient for several months at a time.
