    About this ebook

    Do you love growing things... like flowers... herbs... or vegetables?

    Do you want to garden... but don't have the yard space to grow anything? If so, then you've found the right book!

    Everyone loves greenery! The fresh feeling... the sense of life... and homegrown vegetables.
    Gardens increase the quality of your home -- making them livelier with a garden and the greenery.

    As a culture, in our everyday hectic lives, we've become too sterilized and cut off from our roots in nature and that's why we need parks, plants, and gardens. Without them, something just seems missing.

    But many of us don't live in a place that has room for a garden or a lot of plants... We either don't have the yard-space, or we don't want to make a mess with all the soil.

    But there's a way around these obstacles...Hydroponic gardening is a form of gardening that doesn't use soil. Instead, you take advantage of light, air, and water.
