Although described as a 2002, 6th edition, book, most of the references it contains are decades old. The same is true of the few statistics in the text, they stop years and years before our time - many many years before 2000, as a matter of fact. It seems to be little more than a reprint of an old manual, something I am surprised to see from a publisher as reputable as CRC. I bought it, I read it, but I would not recommend it.

Industrial scale production is what this book is about. If you are involved in growing tomatoes and other vegetables for your own use the scale is too large to be of use to you. It wasn't of any use to me even as a reference book as the scale of things was way beyound my humble tomatoe growing needs. But if your involved in large scale industrial level production this is probably the book for your. Very well produced and illustrated.

The only book about hydroponics you need.
5 April 2005
The "Resh" bible, is the definitive guidebook about hydroponics. Resh review the actual techniques and different systems he observed over 40 years as well as provide deep technical insight to most of them. This book should the first to be reviewed if you aspire to be a commercial grower and the best reference book for horticultural consultant working with soilless systems.

The Hydroponics Bible

This is by far the most definitive work I've read on the subject. A co-worker of mine recommended this as the "Bible" of hydroponics and he was absolutely right.
It looks like a textbook right down to the ugly cyan/green cover, but it doesn't matter how a book looks if it's got it where it counts. Whether you're a hobbyist or a commercial hydroponics grower, this book is something you'll have wished you'd read.

The commercial growers bible
5 May 2009
As a small commercial grower, this book has been invaluable to us. We used its recommendations for building our greenhouse to selecting the irrigation and media we use. We gained a lot of experience without the usual penalty costs involved. If you are on a budget and can't afford a library of books, buy this one instead.
