The Complete Guide to Hydroponics: Year-Round Harvests with Practical Techniques and Creative Solutions for Visually Stunning Urban Gardens (The Urban Farming Blueprint)

Clearly written by someone who is not only an expert in the science and craft of hydroponics, but someone who respects the value of the aesthetics of hydroponic gardens. The book assumes that the reader is willing to invest care, time and money into the venture. It therefore prepares you for the advantages and challenges at every stage and from every perspective. The second last chapter on Problem Solving teaches the reader what symptoms to watch out for, their causes and solutions. You might emerge thinking that hydroponics is a full-time job. To counteract this reaction, the final chapter relates some inspirational cases. A well-written and well-structured holistic overview that includes a detailed glossary.

I enjoyed this and learned a lot. Wel structured, easy to follow this is a great resource for both beginners and intermediates

Think the author must have been paid by the number of words used in this dull, repetitive book. Complete lack of any meaningful details or guidance. Poorly laid out and a complete lack of illustrations. Save your money!

I’ve read several books on hydroponics, but The Complete Guide to Hydroponics stands out. It’s super practical, packed with creative ideas, and makes growing your food feel doable—even if you’re short on space or new to the game. I especially loved the tips on maximising small urban areas and making your setup look gorgeous while still functional. Whether you’re a curious beginner or looking to level up your hydroponics game, this book delivers. Clear instructions, great visuals, and real results. Highly recommend!

I’ve been curious about hydroponics for a while, and this book gave me the push (and the knowledge) I needed to get started. It covers everything—from the nutrient solutions to different system types—and explains why hydroponics is so effective, especially in small spaces. It’s both educational and inspiring!

Comprehensive and practical, but sometimes overly detailed. Great for beginners wanting to master urban hydroponic gardening.

A great guide/intro to the world of Hydroponics, how they work and the benefits they offer to modern-day sustainable growing of plants. Fount this very interesting and could potentially be a solution to future farming.

If you're new to hydroponics or just want to refine your skills, this book is a must-read.
