Difference Between Hydroponics and Aquaponics

1
Hydroponics and aquaponics share a few
similarities. Aquaponics combines hydroponics and
aquaculture in a controlled environment, to
create a balanced ecosystem that benefits crops
as well as the fish. In both systems, plants give
better results in the growth as compare with
those plants that are grown in soil.

Hydroponic
Hydroponics is a subset of hydroculture, which is
the growing of plants in a soil less medium, or
an aquatic based environment. Hydroponic growing
uses mineral nutrient solutions to feed the
plants in water, without soil and its also
popular among marijuana growers.
