Much of the food on his dinner table is homegrown. He likes to experiment with various gardening methods and find new ways to grow bountiful crops year-round.

He wants to share his knowledge and show how easy and rewarding it is to set up your own prosperous garden and apply the healing power of plants. In his opinion, you don’t need a huge budget to get started. When you do get started, you will soon feel, and taste, the benefits of growing your own healthy food.

Richard provided a great overview of various types of hydroponic systems. I appreciated that he went into detail into the pros and cons of common growing mediums and which system is most appropriate based on your own limitations (budget, space, etc.). Now I’ve got a solid plan of what setup I’ll build and how to go about it. I’ll definitely be keeping this book on the shelf for reference.

I highly recommend this for anyone looking to get started with hydroponics. For me, I live in the city in Canada, where it's winter most of the year, so this book gave me all the tools I needed to bring my garden indoors. I found the illustrations were incredibly useful and the author's concise style made it easy to understand.

Overall it's a general intro into hydroponics, nothing great in terms of eye catching pictures or diagrams of the systems to blow your mind. I mean it's basic information that will get you pointed in the right direction. It's a quick read and left me wanting more.
