Hydroponics: Hydroponic Gardening Basics Paperback – July 8, 2013

more of a pamphlet than a book

this is a good start. makes me want to try it now that will text is setting in. gets my feet wet,and my plants.

This book is more like an underwritten magazine article you'd see in a "circular"... it barely scratches the surface of what is involved in hydroponic gardening... it has NO illustrations or figures included whatsoever... it has no science to support it's statements (not a single calculation or reference to justify the statements within)... and has been written on about an 8th grade level.If you don't understand the basics of gardening (and I mean utter basics) and require an extremely cursory overview of hydroponics (and some of the related components) this is an OK place to start... but it will leave you with A LOT of unanswered questions.It's kind of like having your illiterate uncle explain a modern fuel injection system to a 3 year old... he is going to leave out a lot of important information, all of the key data involved, and mostly just talk about the big pieces of the system... e.g. "...there are injectors that get fuel from the fuel tank and squirt it into the cylinder which burns it and makes the engine turn... the computer tells the injector how much fuel to put in the hole... and that's what makes cars work so good little Timmy..."If you want to know more about this topic, you can get more from google than this text, and there are other books on Amazon that are better for the same price (free).

Basic information. Not much detail.

Best described as a pamphlet. Large type and double spaced (only about one page of content if single spaces and normal sized type). Information is vague and general at best.

Way to basic. This is a fifth grade book report. I would have liked to see graphics and how to diagrams.
