I think your underestimated the ease of gardening and over estimated the ease of a aquaponics operation.
One could construct a greenhouse from salvaged windows or just use plastic for a greenhouse.
Commercial greenhouses use drip feed / hydroponics to reduce the work load and increase production , the systems used are cheap and easily available to a home gardener.
timers pumps and drip line / drippers and your system is up and running.
