This was cool! It is a very strange kind if book. Not quite an instructional guide, not quite an info/textbook- somewhere in the middle. And that works really well for this, its incredibly approachable and digestible and makes me wanna try a garden!

This book is a little outdated (1990) and is pretty much designed for someone who just learned the word "hydroponics". If you are reading this, you know too much.
To be quite honest, you would learn more from YouTube Videos. Let me know if you know good hydroponics books. I'm coming up empty and the folks in the stores are pretty unhelpful. :P

A very cursory introduction to hydroponic gardening. Nicholls provides the necessary background, a handful of set-up schematics, a couple nutrient formulas, and other information necessary to start from scratch. The appendix is very useful, giving a list of other texts, as well as suppliers for anything one might need (although this list is probably a bit dated.)

[Tim Noonan]

Good introduction, but a bit dated. Not the book's fault as it was written in the 90s. Got me interested in learning more.

[Bruce]

An interesting introduction to hydroponics. It provides the basics and has tables near the back which describe some of the problems and the cure for them.
