Urban Agriculture done right.
The use of the pond to feed the garden turned this typical yard into a relaxing retreat and increased the value of the property.
Location
Lake Crystal, Minnesota.
Feeding Fish
When water temps are at their warmest, the fish are constantly feeding.
Bog Benefits
Mosquitoes need calm flat water to lay their eggs. The combination of moving water and fish to consume the mosquito larvae means this pond is not a home to mosquitoes. Mosquito predators like dragonfly, however, thrive in the bog area.
Aquaponic Grow Beds
Using the nutrients from the pond to feed aquaponic grow beds helps grow healthy lettuce and broccoli.
Nutritional power
Koi are exceptional fish for giving high nutritional output for a lush green garden.
