Do you want to quickly grow fresh vegetables and fruits from home without the use of dirty soil?

Hydroponics and tissue culture are modern ways of growing plants without soil. They offer the grower many advantages, not the least an ability to have greater control over how the plant grows.

Pivotal to that control, is to understand and manage the nutrients provided to the plant. This management of nutrients is what this book is about.
