About Us

We have developed a series of hydroponic (soilless) garden kits for the home gardener, school and science fair experimenter that are reasonably priced, easy to set up, require virtually no maintenance, and enable you to grow delicious, fast-growing crops on your window sill or in your patio, garden, or classroom. The technology embedded in our Floating Garden^tm Gardening Kits incorporate our utility patent-pending hydroponic technologies.

Our patent-pending hydroponic wheat grass kit yields spectacular, fast growing wheat grass crops that are much less expensive to grow than by employing conventional home methods using potting soil. All parts of the kit are re-usable except the nutrient and wheatberries. You can also grow mixtures of oats, rye, wheat and barley in the kit for your pet birds, cats, dogs, and small animals (guinea pigs, etc.

Our Floating Garden for Ponds System is perfect for owners of Koi and other fish ponds and helps deal with nitrate load in a responsible way while at the same time allowing the pond owner to harvest renewable crops of lettuces, herbs and a variety of other plants.

We have extensively tested our kits with a variety of plants grown from seed in the units and transplanted from nursery bedding plants. The instructions that come with each kit are based on these tests and the conclusions we reached based upon our tests and research.

All of our kits are perfect as a basis for an inventive Science Fair Project or as a starting point for independent or school-based science exploration. All of our kits are made by us (ArtSciDesign, LLC) in the USA and comply with the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA, 2008).

Aquaponics lab experiment with basil plants taking advantage of the nitrogen cycle in a guppy tank. The tank is in relative steady state.

Our soon-to-be-released educational aquaponics discovery book contains all the information you will need to investigate fish/plant farming techniques in the classroom or at home together with specification of recommended commercially available components and test equipment you will need to set up a demonstration tank. We will also be offering the hard to find components you will need including a plant support bed with media for supporting your plants in a fish tank environment and an adjustable lighting unit for the plants. Instructions will also be given on how to measure and track the performance of your aquaponic system.
