Seaweed: isn't hydroponics better?

isn't hydroponics better?

	An attached greenhouse is designed to provide heat in the winter and food year round. By combining aquaponics (plants and fish), chickens, vermiculture, mushroom culture, duckweed and azolla, we are creating a year-round food growing system that can provide a large portion of one's diet from vegetables, fish, and chicken eggs. The ponds are heated with hydronics from the household heating system. Efficient use of vertical space is obtained with vertical growing towers, mushroom towers, and worm towers. Worms, duckweed, azolla, and food scraps are used to feed the chickens and fish. See more info at [[Aquaponic Greenhouse Workshop]].

			== Hydroponics Instead Of Aquaponics ==

			If we replace keeping animals (aquaponics, vermiculture, chickens) with hydroponics and the already existing waste management system we get the following benefits:

			* ethically: no intentional breeding, suffering and killing built into the home design.

			* sustainability: much lower emissions, much lower energy use, reduced waste production, produce keeps longer and stores better.

			* simplicity: easier to understand what is going on

			* efficiency: removing animals and these components from the loop makes the loop smaller and more efficient, in general but specifically energy efficient due to removing trophic layers.

			* time-efficiency: no need for constant monitoring and tweaking

			* re-use of existing modules: integrate with and extend the existing waste management system

			* reliability: a smaller, simpler loop means there are less things that can go wrong

			* productivity: make better use of the space and increase productivity by accommodating the plants more for example by using a [[Heat Recovery Ventilator]] to keep the inside air nice and fresh while climate controlled. We can use much smaller tanks for things like [[Duckweed]], [[Chlorella]], [[Spirulina]]. Much more nutrients and calories for less and fewer inputs (time, energy, resources, labor, capital)

			* affordability: less and fewer input (time, energy, resources, labor, capital) required for sustainable higher productivity

			* maintainability: much simpler to troubleshoot and maintain, requiring much less maintenance overall.
