Aquaponics: From Beginner to Expert - Hydroponics & Aquaponics Double Book Bundle - Exact Blueprint to Aquaponic & Hydroponic Organic Gardening From ... For Beginners, Hydroponics for Beginners)

This book includes everything and anyone interested in either aquaponics or hydroponics will need. I liked the lists of plants you can grow and which fish would be best for different situations. I have been interested but had no idea everything that you could actually grow. I also appreciated the description of everything I would need to plan and watch out for when setting up these systems. This will be very beneficial to troubleshoot and save me time and money. Although I read through everything, I will continue to reference this book frequently when attempting to set up my system.

It's an okay introduction, but it's not as advanced as I'd want if I was actually going to start up an aquaponics system. It is a decent book as an introduction.Aquaponics, it turns out, is not a self renewable system. You have to buy young fish every cycle. You can't raise root crops, or any crops really that contain much in the way of caloric value. You have to buy fish food continually. You will need a greenhouse (basically) to house the system.A better system would be rabbits and a dirt garden. Rabbits can be easily bred (you only have to buy them the first time unlike the fish) and fed from the garden and from natures bounty of plants (you don't have to buy food all the time). You can grow anything in a dirt garden including corn and potatoes. It is much closer to a self renewable cyclic system than aquaponics. If you want to you can build a green house for year round gardening, but it isn't a requirement if you want to grow seasonally, unlike the aquaponic system..

The idea of aquaponics is fasinating. Growing fish and soil-free plants in one little enviroment. It is so easy and efficient, much more economical than hydroponics. This book takes you to your aquaponic garden journey from explaining what aquaponics is and how it works. After you have a basic idea how it works it guides you how to create your garden. It is really straightforward and pictures makes it much easier too. There's much more on monitoring, balancing, maintenance and so on... Second part is about hydroponics, which I'm not that into right now and bought it just because it was a bundle, so won't share my opinion on that one.

This is a two book (each small) set. It is well-written and has some nice graphics to explain different set-ups of each of the two soilless gardening techniques that the books cover.In the hydroponics book, the author does a decent job of describing how to build a couple of different growing systems. However, in the aquaponics book you are left on your own if you want to DIY. Still, the author provides great tips about how to succeed with an aquaponics system (such as needing to let bacteria grow in the water before adding the fish – that was new to me!). And he also explains each system in reasonable detail, as well as the benefits for both kinds of systems.If you want to get started on the basics of either aquaponics or hydroponics (or both!) – assuming you’re not looking for a step-by-step guide to a homemade aqua. system – this book will help.

An excellent book for the people who love gardening. These books outline aquaphonics and hydrophonics methods of gardening in detail. I was amazed to find the depth of details mentioned in this book. Benefits of aquaphonics and hydrophonics when compared to traditional gardening methods are clearly explained, including minute details.

Too short and it seems that the author is using big fonts to increase the number of pages. The information in it is useful though, but that can be obtained very easily from the web.

Love the concept of Aquaponics and Hydroponics. Something different to the regular gardening. Very well explained both the concepts in a simple language with practical tips and tricks. I recommend these books to anyone who love gardening. A big thank you to the author....
