    Well done Singapore. I've been an avid follower of aquaponics for years now and wondered when Singapore would take advantage of this exciting growing methodology.

    I don't mind having one at our lift lobby on my level. It's super empty and big enough for this planting. We can even interact with neighbours more this way.

    Fertile soil is the most important factor in organic growing because of all its known and yet to be discovered benefits on the nutritional quality of crops. Hydroponic/Aqua growing removes the crucial soil factor and replaces it with soluble nutrient solutions that can in no way duplicate the complex benefits of soil. It's the TREND now.....so let's all just ride on it.

    The US out of touch people said that China pollute the world, yet I can't find a recycle bin to dump my plastic recent years. China is heading to the right direction. I was motivate by the way the Chinese turn desert into Oasis and the fish/veggie farm around Chinese and their neighbors.

      Waterdragon Clan just as a piece of information, if you are referring to it as a country Singapore is not part of China. It is an independent city state.
      If you are referring to the race, Singapore is a multicultural country and I’m pretty sure the efforts are from a number of races :)
