While there are many types of gardens (ranging from backyard soil patches to windowsill flower pots of basil and cilantro), there is one type of indoor gardening system you might not have heard about that is the ideal solution in times like these - a beautifully designed indoor aquaponics garden.įirst, full disclosure: I’ve been an aquaponics professional for 7 years. By growing our own food, we not only create a source of healthy food for ourselves and our families, but we get something to do with our hands: an activity to focus on that promotes life which serves as a needed counter to the blight of the daily news report. Gardening provides a soothing and positive outlet for many problems created by coronavirus quarantine. People are finding relief in gardening - and particularly indoor gardening - in large numbers. However, there is good news - a green light at the end of the tunnel. Our stress levels are beginning to reach unhealthy levels from being cooped up indoors, largely in an environment not designed for long-term usage.Īs we stare into the face of empty supermarket shelves, risky home delivery services, and extended stay-at-home orders, the situation seems to be getting worse. We’re also worried about continuing to have access to a healthy food supply. Our worries about staying healthy and keeping our immune systems strong have increased. Unfortunately, these things are not our wellness, happiness, or inner peace. During the Covid-19 pandemic, we’re spending most of that time in one location - and things are growing.

In general, most people spend about 80% of their lives indoors.

If you’ve been spending a lot of time indoors lately, you are not alone.
