Abstraction: This project introduces HydroManure, a sustainable farming system that combines aquaponics and hen manure to improve plant growth while reducing environmental waste. The system uses nutrient-rich water from fish tanks and decomposed hen manure to create a balanced nutrient solution for plants. This closed-loop approach recycles organic waste, lowers the need for chemical fertilizers, and supports water conservation. Experimental observations show better plant height, leaf color, and growth rate in the integrated setup compared to standalone aquaponics and soil-based cultivation. The HydroManure model offers a low-cost, eco-friendly solution for small-scale farming in both urban and rural areas.
