Over the past few months, I have bought and read a number of books on the subject of hydroponics. This book is by far the best book on the subject I have read. It is written in a simple and easy to understand manner. Very readable. The plans and instructions for the different types of hydroponic garden apparatus is worth the cost of the book alone.
Absolutely excellent! |
Excellent Resource

From reading several hydroponics books in our local library, I learned quite a bit about the science aspect of hydroponics. There's lots of information in books and on the internet about indoor lighting systems, different types of hydroponic systems, nutrient solutions, etc.
Very few, if any, of the hydroponic reference books in the library contained enough information that would allow me to construct my own hydroponic system from materials available at the local hardware stores. If you search online, you can find commercially available systems for $200-$500 that look like they were made from PVC pipe, Rubbermaid containers, and so forth.
"Hooked on Hydroponics" contains the necessary construction details that will allow me to construct my own system. Some experience with PVC pipe, plumbing issues, and so forth is really needed, but it is NOT hard to learn how to work with PVC.
As other reviewers have noted, there are no color photos inside the cover, but I greatly appreciated the details, step-wise construction directions, and helpful photos found in this book. The author tells us exactly what model pump is used, the brand he recommends, and other important details that will allow me to be successful right from the very start.
The author does a great job of describing the advantages and disadvantages (i.e. what do you want to grow?) of each different hydroponic system. I highly recommend this book. It is exactly what I needed to purchase to construct my own hydroponic system that will fit my needs, at a fraction of the cost of a commercial system.

| This is a GREAT BOOK for all things Hydroponic. The numerous pictures & diagrams show clearly how to assemble & operate all of the popular systems out there today. The only item excluded was LED lighting. All of the other types of lighting are covered, but LED has been left out,... that's alright because lighting is another animal altogether. This book provides enough detailed instructions for anyone who has ever been interested in hydroponic growing to start growing like a pro on a small budget. |
I am pleased

| I wanted to know if it was feasible to start a garden at home. I was amazed at how easy it was. I now have two systems going, and thanks to the manual, they are working perfectly. |
Brilliant
