Home vegetable garden has started pre-order sales of "Aqua Sprout", a device for circulating agriculture that grows fish and plants together. The main unit price is 39,800 yen (excluding tax). Shipping is scheduled for mid-December or later.

This product is a device that allows you to easily enjoy "aquaponics" that utilizes aquarium water for hydroponics at home or at school. Microorganisms decompose the ammonia discharged by fish to nourish the plants, and the water purified by the plants returns to the aquarium. Vegetables and herbs such as leaf lettuce and arugula can be grown on the aquarium and can be eaten after harvest.

The basic care is to feed the fish once a day and add the evaporated water once a week. It is said that it can be installed in a place where the sunlight irradiation time can be secured for 6 hours or more a day, or in a dark room by using a separate light (sold separately).

Goldfish that are resistant to changes in water quality are recommended.
