Aquaponics is the process of combining aquaculture and hydroponics to grow produce. Kids at Sanger High School are getting hands-on experience in the process and growing food in a very unique way.
This is not a fish tale about the big one that got away. Instead, this is the tale of smaller ones which offer food for thought to young minds at Sanger High School. "It's a good way to trick kids to learn about plants because plants aren't always the most exciting thing for a teenager to learn about," said Audrey Bonomi, agriculture teacher.
The students love their aquaponics systems because they created them to grow leafy vegetables like lettuce. Some of the produce juts out of tower systems.
