Customer Reviews

a good book on hydroponics

I enjoyed this book, it is written in a warm style and covers a variety of topics related to hydroponics. Ironically probably my favorite part is the section that talks about the different types of plants grown hydroponically. Which kinds get along with each other and even how to cook with some of them, thats useful information that is not widely availiable.

No Dirt!

Good book for an overview on hydroponics. This seems like it would be a good hobby, but the cost must be high. Learned enough to know it was not for me. Good read.

GOOD BOOK FOR BEGINNERS

VERY EASY TO UNDERSTAND BOOK FOR THE BEGINNER, USEFULL TO START A NEW GARDEN.I LOOK FORWARD TO USING STUFF I HAVE LEARNED IN THIS YEARS CROP. I HAD A BASIC WORKING KNOWLELGE OF THE PRINCIPALS INVOLVED BEFORE BUYING THIS BOOK AND IT ANSWERS ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE, WELL ILLUSTRATED ALSO. I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK FOR BEGINNERS.

Good book

In a world where most hydroponics books talk about the exotic ways to grow things, this book covers a basic approach which would seem to insure success. I don't know about others but it helped me find and correct several misconceptions and problems that I have been experiencing with my hobby level hydro growing (excessive watering, inapropriate nutrient levels, etc.) Overall, a good text for beginning or hobby level hydroponic growing.

Excelent for beginner

The book is very good at giving the basics of getting started into the world of soilless plant growth. The book is very easy to read and also gives formulas for producing your own nutrient solutions. I think this is an excellent starter book and it will have you looking for more information.
