🌱 A vegetable garden and livestock combined in your garden
The Symbiose® kit from Glaez Aquaponics is much more than just a vegetable garden : it's a complete, productive ecosystem that combines raising edible fish with growing fruits and vegetables in a natural and virtuous balance. Inspired by the core principles of aquaponics, this ancient technique that blends aquaculture and horticulture, Symbiose replicates the biological cycles at work in nature right in your garden. Fish waste, transformed by nitrifying bacteria, becomes nutrients directly absorbed by the plants. The plants, in turn, purify the water, which returns clean to the fish tank. A closed-loop cycle, without chemical inputs, without waste, and without compromising on quality.
With 1 m³ of water dedicated to fish farming and no less than 3 m² of growing space, combining floating raft and substrate cultivation, Symbiose offers a serious and tangible food production capacity. Tomatoes, salads, aromatic herbs, strawberries, peppers, and even freshwater fish like trout or perch : your plate can now come directly from your garden, all year round.
⚙️ A complete, modular system designed to last
Symbiose was designed as a reliable, robust, and scalable production tool. Entirely above ground, it incorporates a high-performance mechanical and biological filtration system, ensuring optimal water quality for both fish and plants. A circulation, oxygenation, and cooling system completes the setup, guaranteeing stable growing and rearing conditions year-round.
Its modular design is one of its major strengths : Symbiose adapts to your space, your needs, and your ambitions. You can start with the basic configuration and expand the system over time by adding extra growing modules or increasing the breeding capacity. Designed for outdoor use on a patio or in a garden, it blends seamlessly into your surroundings thanks to its warm and elegant wood cladding. The galvanized metal structure ensures exceptional strength and durability, even when exposed to harsh weather.
🌍 Energy-efficient, water-saving, and bountiful in harvests
In a context of dwindling water resources and an increasing burden of energy costs on daily life, Symbiose stands out as an exception. Thanks to its closed-loop system, it consumes up to 90% less water unlike a traditional vegetable garden, water is constantly recycled, and only losses through evaporation and plant transpiration need to be replenished. This results in considerable savings, both on a daily basis and in the long term.
On the energy front, consumption is remarkably low : only about €10 per month to run the entire system, including pumps, oxygenation, and filtration. And as for maintenance, forget tedious gardening : no daily watering, no weeding, no pesticides. Just 30 minutes a month is all it takes to maintain your Symbiose and ensure its proper functioning. This precious time saving allows you to focus on what truly matters : observing, harvesting, and enjoying.
🧑🌾 Who is Symbiosis for ?
Symbiose is for anyone who wants to produce their own food in a healthy, local, and sustainable way, without having to dedicate all their time or have a large plot of land. For a family seeking food self-sufficiency, it's the ideal tool to regain control over what they eat, know where each food comes from, and pass on to children a taste for fresh, home-grown food. For a community, school, or non-profit organization, Symbiose becomes a powerful educational and awareness-raising tool, capable of supporting a long-term educational project. For anyone passionate about sustainable agricultural techniques, it's an invitation to experiment, observe, and delve deeper into a fascinating discipline at the crossroads of biology, agronomy, and engineering.
