Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

"An excellent nontechnical work for the beginner" is what LJ 's reviewer called the first edition of this book ( LJ 2/15/78). Here, Nicholls updates information on the methods of soilless gardening, which include raising plants in containers of water, gravel, sand, rocks, brick, and even styrofoam. He discusses the particular problems of soilless gardening in terms of pest control and weather and light conditions. New to this edition is a list of manufacturers and suppliers of greenhouses and greenhouse accessories; hydroponic materials; lighting equipment; and seeds; as well as a suggested list for further reading on the subject.
- Judy Quinn, "Library Journal"

3.0 out of 5 stars Beginner's Guide indeed, February 13, 2000
By Paul Simone (Fayetteville, GA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Not knowing what Hydroponic Gardening was all about I bought this book and one other. This is indeed a beginner's book. It will awaken you to Hydroponic Gardening and let you in on many of the ways to accomplish it; in concept more than practice. It was not an inspiring book to me but I did like the History of Hydroponics section although it was only 3 pages. This book is an overview. I wouldn't go into Hydroponic Gardening without another, more in-depth book. It is a great book to find out if your even remotely interested in Hydroponics. The author is matter-of-fact in his writing and adds nothing to the facts to liven things up. On the other hand, there is no fluff and filler in the book. All in all I give it three stars because it got me started learning about Hydroponic Gardening.

3.0 out of 5 stars As it says..., August 1, 2004
By JJ "Tikhamat" (Madison, WI, United States) - See all my reviews
It is a beginner's introduction to hydroponics. While it is an exceptionally good overview and a great place to begin studying the topic, it is by no means a canon on the topic. Grab this book, read it cover to cover, photocopy it's tables to tack to the wall in whatever area you do your plant working. It will give you a skeleton, but your flesh is earned via experience and communicating with other gardeners, especially in better hydroponics forums on the internet.

These forums, however, can be confusing without the background provided by books such as this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for the beginner., February 16, 1998
By A Customer
After finishing the first skim through, I was intrigued enough to go out and buy a growing unit. I ordered the one and planted the seeds they included. Then I reread the book again so I knew what to watch for and what to do. It was amazing! Here in California in the middle of winter and el nino and almost freezing temperatures the seeds sprouted in 11 days...outside on our patio. I highly recommend hydroponic gardening to everyone!!!
