One of the most common questions I get from people starting out in aquaponics is:

"Should I build a media bed, an NFT system, or a deep water culture raft?"

Here's what I cover:

• Media bed (flood and drain) — the most beginner-friendly option, and the most versatile for home growers
• NFT — lightweight, space-efficient, great for leafy greens and herbs
• DWC / raft systems — the workhorse of commercial production
