5.0 out of 5 stars Good Workbook, January 17, 2004

By

This review is from: The Simplified Hydroponics Workbook (A Simplified Guide to Soilless Gardening) (Plastic Comb)

Without knowing ANYTHING about the subject of botany or hydroponics I was able to use this workbook. It is NOT a textbook but a simple little how-to that works. The book is set up in steps covering everything from seed starting, to system building, to watering. There is no way the subject could be made easier. At first, I bought a rather large text book on the subject and I was totally freaked. I couldn't understand a word. I bought this book because the title said "simplified." That sums it up. After reading it and following the steps, I got great results.

I see that some people love it and some hate the book in the reviews on Amazon. I think if you are a science person with a love for complicated formulas and theory this is not the book for you. If you JUST WANT TO GROW PLANTS INDOORS WITHOUT ALOT OF GRIEF...you cannot buy a better book. My copy was NOT an inkjet copy as one of the other reviewers mentioned, so there may be two editions? I don't know. My edition was great. I also gave this book as a Christmas gift.

I would buy it again.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Simplified Hydroponics Workbook, November 18, 2001

I live in Manhattan and had used this book as a guide to buy a small commercially available system. I have used this reference for about a year. The section on planting and lighting is excellent. Like the book says I have flowers in January. This year I will try growing mellons. I took key pages out and taped them next to my system for references. It was an easy read. I like the poetic style of writing.

5.0 out of 5 stars I might even buy a copy, September 7, 2002

I borrowed my girlfriend's copy of the book. It is awesome. An easy book to understand. I would like to learn more about what brands of regular plant food they suggest,they should write another book about that and maybe make recommendations on where to buy premade systems. I give it a high rating because I made my system in a few hours with one of those premade table top fountains.
