Keith F. Roberto Gardening & Landscape Design (ljr@knology.net)Want to know how to calculate pump size? Want to know the required flow rate for you PVC Hydroponic garden 14 plants? Want to know where to buy supplies locally? This book is for you. It is not a hard bound book, but it covers the construction, from scratch, of three of the common beginner gardens. It covers "roots" from my level. Get it!

Best Keith F. Roberto Gardening & Landscape Design Keith Roberto does an excellent job covering all of the basics of soilfree gardening. This book is easy to understand for people like myself who have little knowledge of the subject. The essential components of a succesful soilfree garden are covered very well, such as the balance between lighting and nutrients and the chemical changes that occur in the growth process. All of this explained in "layman's terms" that we can all understand. Three well described sets of plans are included in the book which can get the reader on a small budget started. Indoors or Outside, using natural sunlight or artificial lighting, this book covers it all. I am looking forward to having a year-round fresh salad garden grown in my own garage!

Keith F. Roberto Gardening & Landscape Design I've bought four hydroponic books to date and this is the third one I've read. It is packed with data and tells it like it is. I call it a left-brain booklet because it reads like a text book; which it is. This book turned me on to something I didn't know about - Aeroponics! Now I'm beginning to rethink my hydroponics plans and shall look more deeply into Aeroponics. Surprise, there was a great hint on how to grow hot peppers even hotter than usual. If you want to get excited about hydroponics first read "Hydroponics for Everyone" by Dr. Struan Sutherland. Then buy this book and don't skip over it; read it through. In the book "Hydroponics Soilless Gardening" by Richard Nicholls there were two paragraphs devoted to Aeroponics, but for some reason it didn't register with me what was being said. Keith Roberto not only explains Aeroponics but shows how to build a small inexpensive unit. One complaint I have is: in all three of these books that I've read, not one gave a hint as to the cost of the nutrient solutions and how often they need to be purchased for a small operation. After all, you've heard the phrase 'dirt cheap' but I bet in hydroponics you won't hear 'liquid nutrient cheap'. Even the simple construction projects looked tedious; so maybe purchasing kits will be more my style. Mr. Roberto does give a website to access for supplies. Some of the prices made me choke. My advice is to read before jumping into hydroponics. The next book I've purchased and will now read is "Hydroponic Tomatoes For the Home Gardener" by Howard M. Resh. After that I will digest all I've read and make a decision on which way to go; if any. As a very long-time soil organic gardener I know what good vegetables should taste like and it's not what we get from the supermarket. Will it be what I get from Hydroponics?
