Bioponics is a soilless grow method that is strictly organic. It does not allow for common hydroponic mined (salt) minerals and petro derived ammonia and nitrates. It is more like aquaponics without reliance on fish. But then that means it’s not quite ‘aquaponics.’
Fish thrive here because the feed used to power the entire system is organic, carbon rich biomass. It does not require fish because it does not utilize fish to convert organics to inorganics. Using the organic biomasses here feeds microbes which act like fish, gradually releasing inorganics to nourish the plants.
It’s as if we are feeding fish food to a soilless system. Which would work if manufactured fish food had all the optimal nutrients for feeding plants, which they don’t. Bioponica makes nutrient blends to create high carbon organic liquid nutrients that feed both fish and microbes. Here we have adequate filtration to replace the digestive gut of fish. And we have nutrient blends of biomasses to match the needs of plant types at different growing periods.
So when properly accommodating an organic ecosystem with varying ratios of N, P and K plant growth can be optimized. It’s also possible to use simple non-blended biomasses such as alfalfa grass and spent coffee grounds or brewery grains to grow a large range of plants.
Bioponica researches and manufactures processes, systems and nutrients for a more sustainable organic approach to farming and gardening. Nutrients derived from biomass blends may be used for fertilizing plants, ponds and soils.
Bioponics is potentially the most sustainable method of farming.

What's wrong with that yellowish bad dead leaf
Woah Camera management is all over the place already
You have removed all chemicals! So no chemicals no carbon no substances at all. Please nothing form the periodic table.
how well would a set-up like this do in a mich. winter?have a blessed and safe day
Thank you for explaining this.
I have dreams of getting enough land to build a system like this for personal use.
I wonder how much food you can produce in a trough like that. How many do you need to feed a household without needing to buy greens from stores?
Hi David, I am from Nepal ,Thankyou so much for the inspiration and education bioponics system,can you help me to do this system for Nepal.
What was the cost to build this system?
How did you cap the ends?
how do you cap the corrugated pipe ends to hold water?
Can you help me understand your biofiltration bags?
Oakland, OR !!! You are almost in my backyard, I'm in Roseburg. Do you give tours?
Thank you so much for the inspiration and education David!
What you are doing is divine. In a world of poisons and toxins, you are teaching people how to grow pure, untainted nutrition. Thanks so much for doing what you can to show people the way to creating the right mix of plant food and growing methods to replace chemical fertilizers in this process. Always wanted to know what fruits and vegetables tasted like hundreds of years ago.. I believe that food that comes from a system like this is as close as it gets lol
Yes! Ok so is this mostly microbial powered? Doesnt the duckweed root up a ton of the nutrients? Or do you just soak them and put the duckweed back? Super interesting
