"This comprehensive, practical guide to growing edible plants indoors will help even beginners with setting up an indoor garden. But there are plenty of tips for experienced gardeners too, from new ways to grow to clever hacks in this helpful, lavishly illustrated book." —Felicia Feaster, Managing Editor, Travel Channel + HGTV Review: Better than the internet. - This book is so helpful. I always thought the age of using books for info like this was over. But this book changed my mind. You don’t know what you don’t know. And this book is comprehensive - it takes you through indoor gardening from start to finish and gives you a solid understanding of the whole process. I can’t imagine trying to get that from google searches alone. And it’s beautiful - so lovely to flip through and be inspired. Thanks, Kim, for the tip on chlorine in water - made the difference in some of our drooping plants. Great book. So glad I bought it. Review: Well written, very organized, lots of little caveats - Kim Roman’s book is well written, specific, very organized, and has good information. It is a pleasure to read a how-to that has great flow and is without typos. As if she is speaking… She has good general information with great photos and specifics about container gardening. She has 1 chapter on hydroponics basically just outlining the subject - not too much info on hydroponics- but the essentials. I was hoping for more on hydroponics so a little disappointing for me but good basics. I have been growing with container gardening for a few yrs and found the info helpful. I have more recently become very interested in hydroponics as well and just for fun started a small hydroponics system. She has some good additional information-the caveats- that are easy to plug into the my garden experience. I highly recommend Kim Romans Container Gardening book.
