Roothouse Aquaponics: Ohio Aquaculture Tour

Mike McGraw, the founder of Root House Aquaponics, shares an overview of his operation which utilizes a coupled aquaponics system to raise tilapia and grow five varieties of living head lettuce, along with basil, parsley, micro greens, and edible flowers. The system is designed for purity and quality, employing 100% rainwater collected off the roof and a high-quality, non-GMO fish feed specific for tilapia. This commitment to inputs results in "sashimi quality" fish and lettuce that boasts excellent flavor and a shelf life of up to three weeks. Mike, who transitioned to aquaponics from a background in music, was driven by his passion for nature, the outdoors, and cooking. The coupled system ensures water flows 24/7—from the fish, through biofiltration to process the waste, to the floating plants for nutrient absorption, and back to the fish tank—demonstrating a highly efficient and relevant method for growing food in a hyper-local manner.
