This review is from: Gardening Indoors: The Indoor Gardener's Bible (Paperback)

Since this is my first review, I will try and keep it simple and short.
I have a variety of books about gardeing and farming for both in and outdoors. Gardening Indoors takes what all of them have together and puts it in one book. Do not get me wrong, I have read, and I am sure others have too, books that are as good as this book, but I personally think this guy hits the nail on the head here.
With chapters covering everything from water to soil to all stages of plant growth and all sorts of pests you will deal with, you have a easy to read, and informative guide for getting yourself a nice garden growing. If you can read, you can read this book and understand it, its that easy.
I've already recommended this book to others by word of mouth, and now you know!
