Hydroponics and aquaponics are highly-efficient soil-free plant growth systems that optimize the redistribution of nutrients and oxygen in the water they use. Below, we will take an in-depth look at both systems, their similarities, and how they differ.

What do aquaponics and hydroponics have in common?

These systems have a few similarities.

Properties Both Systems Share: Soil-free agriculture systems Oxygen saturated water Expedited plant growth Completely saturated root systems Nutrient-rich water Efficient and eco-friendly

Both aquaponics and hydroponics use nutrient-rich water to bathe the roots of plants continuously.
