Question by : What pesticide to use in a aquaponics system?
Hi
I am interested in setting up my own aquaponics system and have it pretty much all planned out, there is just one issue. I know that you can’t use any herbicides or pesticides because it will kill the fish but are there any alternatives that can be used? Any homemade products? I just don’t know how successful it will be. I live in Sydney (a rural area) and I’m just not sure whether my veggies will survive.
Please only tried and tested methods as I don’t want to kill my fish!

Thanks! 🙂

  2. I’ve had ponds for 20 years, there is no need for pesticide. You see bugs on your plants knock them in the water and let your fish take care of them.
