So admittedly, I just got back from Epcot where they had a "ride" that showed examples of aquaponic systems that they had created in a controlled environment.

It got me thinking...Why aren't we all plopping some floating planters into our ponds filled with some aquaponic clay/rock/whatever and some plants of our choosing? Ideally it would be cool to grow veggies out there, but after considering run-off from other properties I'm sorta thinking it would be good enough to just plant flowers or nice green plants or something along those lines.

And, as all smart pond owners do, I came onto PondBoss to look at other posts expecting to see a lot out here and I'm not really finding as much as I'd expect.

Is there something to this that's harder than it appears or is this just a trend that hasn't happened yet...or...???
