HY ROTE HIS OOK

I am fortunate enough to have my own plot of land. Though I have not
always been so lucky as I lived in the city in my youth. With a busy job and a
small apartment, I could not be the self-sufficient homesteader that I am
today. However, I spent most of my free time on gardening projects and was
eager to learn new methods to grow my own food. As I progressed, I was
encouraged to start my own hydroponic system in my small city apartment.
Thus, I am living proof it can be done anywhere.

Nowadays, much of the food on our dinner table is homegrown. There is a
certain satisfaction in knowing that the food on your table is grown using
your own skills. You do not need a huge budget to get started, and when you
do, you will soon feel and taste the benefits. Thanks to the success of
hydroponics, we have an abundance of herbs, salad ingredients and fruits.

It could be that you are a beginner. You may even have a small apartment, as
I once had. In both instances, if you want a quick growing, bountiful crop,
then hydroponics is the way to go. Take a look at the initial advantages if
you grow your own food with hydroponics:

You don’t need a yard or garden area.
Plants grow faster and produce more harvest compared to plants
grown in soil.
Grow out of season crops, all year around.
Grow specialist crops in any climate.
If that’s not enough to seal the deal, how about never getting dirt under your
fingernails?

Thinking of my early days I remember that it took me some time to figure out
which hydroponic system was best for me. Considering my personal
situation, I had limited space, expertise, and budget to build my first
hydroponic garden. This book should help people who are in a similar
situation and provide guidance on how to pick the best hydroponic system
and crops for homegrown food year-round. Indoors, in a greenhouse, or
outdoors, there is a hydroponic way of growing for all types of gardeners.

Let me first introduce you to some horticultural terms. They are used to
describe the different ways of farming food for human consumption. I'm sure
you are familiar with many of them.
