Editorial Reviews

Review

"Everything you need to know about hydroponics and then some! George Van Patten is the author. Need I say more? The book is written in layman's terms and is complete with illustrations and photos. A necessity for all indoor gardeners!" --.

"For over twenty years, Gardening Indoors has been considered 'The Bible' of indoor growing. It is literally a one stop gardening encyclopedia of information for both the beginner to the very experienced gardener. If I was to buy only one book on indoor gardening, this would be the one." --.

This review is from: Gardening Indoors with Soil & Hydroponics (Paperback)

After seven years of purchasing books here, this is my first review. I think so highly of this book I had to write a review. High quality product, and information. This book may not have enough meat for a graduate student to use but certainaly the greenhouse owner or gardenstore worker will benefit greatly. Nice depth in wide array of topics. Good full color photographs used liberally throughout the book. Very best information available on lighting in the greenhouse or indoor applications. I have read a full dozen books on hydroponics, and greenhouse operations for the home grower or small farm. This is the best. If you need one book this is it.

I have done a great purchase. This book is full of detailed explanations and very useful information, based on scientific facts but with understandable words (I must say I'm not English spoken). Great, Great, Great.
