Aquaponics - Planting Fresh Herbs Arugula

This video will show you how to plant arugula in an aquaponics garden.

This is a new system, but the germination of the seeds took only about one day.
I will be tweaking the system over the next few weeks and documenting my observations.  However, thus far it appears successful.
