Jeffrey Winterborne Gardening & Landscape Design This book is not for the idiots how to guide crowd.It covers all of the basics of hydroponics but is written at a college level. I have read 4 books on this subject and while all 4 are good enough to learn the basics; this is the first book I've read that left me with an understanding of why the author is recommending you follow his methodology.Pros:Breadth of and choice of topics - The author covers the history of hydroponics, plant structure, how plants use nutrients during different phases of life cycle, alternative lighting systems, breeding and harvesting techniques, identification of pest and nutrient problems as well as the typical PH scale and lighting schedule that most authors discuss.Practical step by step illustrations of alternative hydroponic setups as well as pros and consIn depth analysis and explanations of topics analyzedAnd lastly this author is intellectually curious and it comes across as passion for his subjectCons:This book is not a quick read - If you have limited interest or are looking to quick reference I would not suggest this book to you.Also it is written at a college level and may frustrate those looking for simplicity.

Best Jeffrey Winterborne Gardening & Landscape Design We teach hydroponics as part of our "Greenhouse Management" course at our local community college and needed a book that would cover all the basics. This publication covers most of the areas in which my students need to familiarize themselves. It's very informative. My only drawback is the extremely fine print.

Jeffrey Winterborne Gardening & Landscape Design I didn't realize how difficult it was to find well-written information on hydroponics. It took several mediocre offerings before I discovered this book. It's a succinct dive into general botany with fine structure and excellent illustrations, though some of the information regarding systems is dated. This is a great place to start for newbies like me.The book was published in the UK and some of the language and metric-based measurements may not translate well to the American reader, however this should not be a deterrent. In terms of basics, this has been the most informative book I have found on the subject.
