Very informative!

This book really breaks it down for those of us who are new to hydroponics. There is a great deal of information on designing a system, choosing a system, plant health, nutrients, water temperature and ph balance.

I have to admit that homesteading is appealing to me and I strive to do things to assist us in having a sustainable lifestyle.

This is the time of year I spend more time outside and concentrate on growing fruit and vegetables. I have good soil here to grow in but not all gardeners grow in soil or use soil exclusively. If you are looking for other options you may wish to consider a hydroponic garden.

Hydroponics uses no soil. Plants are grown in a solution of water and nutrients. There are 6 basic types of hydroponic systems. You can learn more about hydroponics in this book.

I received a copy of this book from Richard Bray.

( Format : Audiobook )
"Beautiful crops all year round.*
An excellent guide to starting the hydroponic method of growing with six different systems explained and the set up for each carefully described with component parts and assembly information. However, references are made to the pictures accompanying the audiobook, but no let was available. n the odd There is an additional link to download another booklet by the same author but, although this followed, the download failed. A pity.
Narration by Don Donaldson was clear and well delivered.

Its a good comprehensive guide to all types of hydroponics and how they all individually work, and how each best fits your needs. If you’re looking into setting up a hydroponic system, this book contains the information you’ll need.

Not enough pics!

Where are the pics of growing things? Hydro is about living things and growing them, this has illustrations! But no pics of growing plants in hydro units
