Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Absolutely superb introduction
Review: Cannot recommend it more highly to survivalists and those interested in growing their own food year round inside a greenhouse. This book is one of the rare treasures I prize in my survivalist library and I sure hope my copy is intact after TEOTWAWKI - I may have it laminated.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent do it yourself guide
Review: I was an absolute beginner in hydroponics before reading this book. I have since planned a simple easy to use system for my need with his ideas and diagrams. VERY EASY TO DO. I am most interested in extremely small-scale hydroponics, which this book is perfect for. He outlines several homemade systems made out of spare parts and plumbing. One even fits on a windowsill. My favorite part is that the book is a reprint and he honestly brings his original theories and ideas up-to-date by sharing his 10 years of experience. The author is concerned with self sufficiency, so alternative energy sources are a big part of the plan. I plan on using his PVC pipe method to grow in my south facing windows in the winter. Wish me luck.

Summary: Excellent information on all aspects of small scale hydroponics.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent do it yourself guide
Review: This book brought together honest and sometimes humorous information about hydroponics, greenhouses and the nitty-gritty of organic methods based on the authors own experiences.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Terribly Disappointed
Review: This book, which was probably very good in the 1970's is woefully lacking in currently applicable information. Too much of the text is taken up by documenting projects that failed. A far better book on hydroponics, and worth every penny of the additional $8 cost, is "How-to Hydroponics, Fourth Edition" by Keith Roberto. While this book is supposedly updated as of 1999, it barely scrapes the surface of current hydroponic technology.
