Hydroponic garden grows vegetables with catfish
Two SIU Carbondale researchers William Lewis and John Yopp run an experimental hydroponic farm near Gorham combining 200 pounds of catfish per tank with vegetable beds. Waste from fish sustains nitrates and phosphates for plants while purified water returns to the fish tanks. In 1977 the system yielded 2400 pounds of vegetables, 50 to 70 percent above typical garden yields, with potential for trout in fall and expansion to other crops.
