Hello,
I was wondering if its a good idea to use the excess water of the EI fertilized planted tank for vegetable garden irrigation, or it could have too much fertilizers in it and the vegetables would be harmful for humans. I hate to waste resources and purring enormous amounts of fertilized water down the drain each week is a bit panful. I was thinking - why not making a small garden on my balcony. The pandemic keeps me at home almost all of the time - I would enjoy having more living things to carry for. And I love "home grown stuff".
Anyone with expertise to advice - would the vegetables be safe to eat? If the fish lives in that water, then may be we are not putting so much elements to harm a human. For example as far as I know the fish is more sensible on nitrates than humans.. So I am looking for some expert opinion.
I apologies if the topic is not for this section.
