Do you want to learn how to build your home garden without soil to grow vegetables, grass and fruit all year round? If yes, then keep reading...
Hydroponics can be an intricate art in its more advanced stages, but this book intends to explain a set of methods that will allow you to work with Hydroponics. It will describe how to make a hydroponic system, or where to buy it, how to plant it, how to maintain it, how to fix common problems, and where to get supplies. The freshness and high nutritional value of the vegetables and herbs that can be grown are two of the most significant advantages of hydroponic gardening. For these purposes, there are also recipes from famous chefs in their kitchens using hydroponically produced items.
Except for a cursory knowledge of how Hydroponics came about, most readers couldn't care less about or when the long list of people who experimented in Hydroponics. If anyone feels I have not given enough background or scientific information, they must consult other books because Hydroponics for the Home Gardener is explicitly written to provide you with the facts you need. Some readers do not care that under certain circumstances, certain nutrients can be "locked in" and are therefore not accessible to the plant. You can find these things in the books in the bibliography. Only some of the hundreds of formulations where all the nutrients are available to the plant will be dealt with here. I won't give you a lot of redundant scientific information, in other words.

So why base a book about hydroponics on an adage? Simple! It is just because it is the most fundamental lesson, you'll ever learn for growing, and the quality of your own life. As a food factory, a plant should have an endless supply of high-quality raw materials for it to continue producing new stem, leaf, flowers, and fruit, which we see as growth. If the required raw materials or natural resources run out, it will affect or even interrupt the entire manufacturing process. GIGO! And just as a human appetite changes as you grow, so does that of plants, which complicate matters further.
Let's get started!
