Hydroponics: How to Pick the Best Hydroponic System and Crops for Homegrown Food Year-Round (Urban Homesteading Book 1)

Richard provided a great overview of various types of hydroponic systems. I appreciated that he went into detail into the pros and cons of common growing mediums and which system is most appropriate based on your own limitations (budget, space, etc.). Now I’ve got a solid plan of what setup I’ll build and how to go about it. I’ll definitely be keeping this book on the shelf for reference.

I was a bit skeptical to purchase this book due to it being new and not having many reviews. But I'm glad I did. It's a solid go2 guide - very educational for noobs and novices alike. Good descriptions with easy to follow steps. The best part is - I've just started putting it into action.

Richard does a great job getting the basics addressed on starting your own hydroponic system. He details the advantages and disadvantages of multiple systems with details and drawings. He clearly explains advantages and disadvantages of medium used. You will have a good understanding of what system to use with different crops and plants. He has a large, detailed section of terms frequently used that I found helpful. I appreciated this book and found it a great kick start to the world of HYDROPONICS. I look forward to the next book.

This book is written well, easy to understand and throughly compares pros & cons of each system. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and am well informed now to start my adventure in hydroponics. Thank you.

This is a rather succinct summary of various hydroponic systems with pros and cons of each. I found that there isn't quite enough information to completely build-out a system and get it running but I could probably get close. What is missing is a solid start up and operational guide. What I do like about this book is that the construction aspects are present along with a short summary of some of the products associated. I now know about what I need. I'm fortunate to have a couple of hydroponics/aquaponics stores nearby. I can go there and get the rest of the information I need to get started and I now have enough background to ask intelligent questions along the way without having to take their "class" on "what is it"

I am interested in growing hydroponics and have read a plethora of different books and guides on this topic. This book was enjoyable and had a wealth of info for me to consider when I dive deep next Spring. Highly recommended for people who are considering going into Hydroponics. Well worth the read!

I highly recommend this for anyone looking to get started with hydroponics. For me, I live in the city in Canada, where it's winter most of the year, so this book gave me all the tools I needed to bring my garden indoors. I found the illustrations were incredibly useful and the author's concise style made it easy to understand.

This is a great book that covers all basics of Hydroponics. The book starts with comparing traditional & Hydroponics farming methods and pros/cons. Then it explains various models of Hydroponics with neat illustrations. The book explains various components of different Hydroponics models, combinations (medium, nutrients, watering systems, etc.) to consider for each these models. Nutrients to use are explained in detail. Finally, the suitable plants for beginners, advanced/professional farmers are also detailed. If you are trying to get started with Hydroponics, pick this great book - it sets you up quiet nicely.

Overall it's a general intro into hydroponics, nothing great in terms of eye catching pictures or diagrams of the systems to blow your mind. I mean it's basic information that will get you pointed in the right direction. It's a quick read and left me wanting more.

Sehr hilfreiches Buch. Als Anfänger hat es mir einen guten Überblick über die Vor-und Nachteile der verschiedenen Hydro Systeme gegeben. Absolute Kaufempfehlung!
