Aquaponic Gardening: A Step-by-Step Guide to Raising Vegetables and Fish Together This book by Sylvia Bernstein is the most popular on my list of best aquaponic books for beginners. This book was published in 2011 before there were a lot of books published on the subject of aquaponics. It boasts a ton of positive reviews on several platforms as it’s helped a bunch of people get started aquaponic gardening.



What will a beginner learn from this aquaponic book? Learn about the different working parts of an aquaponics system and also the often overlooked consideration of best the location for your system.

Find out about the different organisms that make up an aquaponic system. It’s not just plants and fish, bacteria and worms are important to the health of your aquaponics system.

Learn general set up and maintenance of an aquaponics system. I would recommend this book for those that are starting at the beginning of learning about aquaponic gardening. The step by step is a little misleading as there a lot of information about aquaponics but less on the step by step process of how to go about it.
