Broder "farm" for a meal a day

Materials: Broder pole and shelves

Description: It is not my hack, but I encountered this project and since it was all built with Ikea stuff I thought it might be fun for on this site. How to grow your own meals in future :D

See more about growing your own meal with the Broder system.

  1. The fish are far too small to eat... Although I am hoping it is using the tank water as water for plants as the fish poo will also act as fertilizer.

  2. @Tim, it holds up to 2kg of fish and yes, it uses the water and fertilizer for plants.

    Maybe read the article?

  4. The fish aren't for eating actually. Their waste provides nutrients for the plants. If you're interested, the process is called aquaponics.
