Der Verlag über das Buch
Grow Healthy Vegetables, Herbs and House Plants Without Soil
"Intelligently presented…. Everything you'll need, from growing trays to lighting to pH levels, is discussed." --Montreal Gazette
"Intelligently presented…. Everything you'll need, from growing trays to lighting to pH levels, is discussed." --Montreal Gazette
"A literate, well-organized text…easy enough for the beginner to understand. There are explicit instructions for building a hydroponic system and getting started with vegetables and herbs. All in all, a very useful purchase…." --Library Journal
Stewart Kenyon first became interested in hydroponics in the late 1960s. He subsequently toured North America to study various systems and meet experts in the field. He produced and marketed City Green, a small-scale, commercially produced home hydroponic system, and managed a retail outlet that specializes in hydroponics.

This book does not mantain what the title promises the reader.
Generally, it is neither a good expert's guide nor a good beginner's guide. Introductions to every subject are lengthy and enthusiasm-boosting, but the details are awful and- worst of all- not practical.
Bad explanations, no useful advices to follow, just some information jammed together. For example the chapter about the hydroponic system: from the intro one would exepct to understand how to build one or what to look for when buying one. I finished the chapter with a lot of confusion in mind. Ridiculously accurate but useless information are not supplemented by explanations of how the system is supposed to WORK.
It seems all just pretty much thrown together to fill up pages that will make up a book.
Disappointing. I know very little more than before and the result is that now I just have to buy another book.

Gardening By Numbers With Missing Numbers
30. Juni 2003
Format:Taschenbuch
I borrowed this book from the library, learned many useful things from it, but also found it maddeningly sketchy and incomplete. Thinking that a new edition would improve things, I ordered this one, but there is very little difference between versions.
A short, introductory text for beginners can get away with describing "how-to" while going light on "why-to," but only if the instructions are error-free and complete. The authors would have been better to leave out the extensive sections on history and commercial methods and concentrate purely on simple systems suitable for the home. They could also have explained a little more why things are done the way they are.
For example: many pages are devoted to the description of methods for circulating nutrient solution, either by hand or automatically. Why nutrients are circulated is barely mentioned. The reader is left wondering why a constant flow of the same nutrient solution is better than just leaving the solution where it is. (Answer: for the same reason that blood circulates.)
So, a maddening book, but still a useful one. I used it to design some cedar window-boxes, fed by inverted 2-litre soda bottles that look like enormous IVs.
After modifying my design to account for the authors' nearly-fatal omission that their choice of growing medium, perlite, is actually lighter than water (!), the tomatoes and herbs exploding out of my boxes now block the sun, and the neighbours are jealous of my IV-covered walls.

I purchased this book because it had supposedly been "Completely Revised and Updated" in 2005. That is rather hard to believe as most of the methods discussed are no longer appropriate. Also the copyright says 1992. However the book does have its high points. The section on selecting and growing herbs is outstanding. Also included is very good info on which herbs to use with certain foods along with recipes from professional chefs. Using hydroponic systems outdoors is also covered. I would recommend this book as an addition to a collection of hydroponic books. If you only buy one book there are many other better ones such as "How-To Hydroponics" by Keith Roberto. "Hobby Hydroponics" by Howard M. Resh would be another great choce. All in all anyone would probably learn something new from this or any other hydroponic book that would justify the price.

Good book
13. Juli 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
In a world where most hydroponics books talk about the exotic ways to grow things, this book covers a basic approach which would seem to insure success. I don't know about others but it helped me find and correct several misconceptions and problems that I have been experiencing with my hobby level hydro growing (excessive watering, inapropriate nutrient levels, etc.) Overall, a good text for beginning or hobby level hydroponic growing.
