In most cases, we don't bite:Sadly, we do not treat rot, smut, or blight. Our name may have been misleading.
We are a group of three senior AP Biology students at Lakeside High School in Atlanta, Georgia. Our teacher's name is Dr. Annette Parrott (whose biology karaoke songs you may know!) So we are not creating GMOs, monster plants, venomous cabbage, or anything of that nature. We're just using fish excrement to nourish plants. |
Project Overview |
We started an aquaponics system as part of a class assignment. To begin, we provided Over the course of our investigation we will compare the growth of basil plants in a deep water culture style aquaponics system to growth of basil in a standard soil pot. Every two to three days we will take readings on the water quality such as pH, and nitrate/nitrite levels. Our hope is that the plant roots will act as a bio-filter for the water in the fish tank and help keep the fish alive.In return, the fish waste will provide the necessary chemicals and nutrients to sustain growth in the plants.

About This Website |
We created this website to display the process and results of our aquaponics experiment. We will constantly update the blog with with notable observations from each day as well as pictures and measurements to chart plant growth.
