Hydroponics for Everyone: A Practical Guide to Gardening in the 21st Century (Hyland House: South Melbourne, rev. ed.1996) claims to have the sure-fire method for even lazy or hapless gardeners. Geared to the reader who is green to hydroponics, or soil-less gardening, this book provides fully illustrated, step-by-step instructions (and friendly “hydrohints”) for growing superior vegetables, herbs and flowers. Authors Dr. Struan Sutherland and Jennifer Sutherland make a good case for hydroponics over conventional gardening: the process uses water and fertilizers more effectively, the plants are less likely to suffer from disease or pests, and, heck, it’s easier.
