Which is better: aquaponics or hydroponics?

Many new growers are torn between two techniques: aquaponics vs hydroponics. Each technique has its potential; aquaponics draws you in with the allure of living creatures, and hydroponics with its precision and control.

There is a plethora of facts and opinions out there. Unfortunately, many of them use blanket terms and generalization to rate each type of growing.

In a new post, Upstart University aims to provide an unbiased argument between the two techniques, outlining all of the benefits and challenges of both techniques.

Aquaponics and hydroponics vary in finance, difficulty, materials, and set up. The main differentiating factor is the fish (or lack of fish).

Simply put, the difference between hydroponics and aquaponics is that aquaponics uses fish to provide nutrients, and hydroponics uses formulated solutions. This post will discuss how that difference impacts the benefits and challenges of aquaponics (AP) and hydroponics (hydro).
