How to Garden Indoors & Grow Your Own Food Year-Round: Ultimate Guide to Vertical, Container, and Hydroponic Gardening (Creative Homeowner) Vegetables, Herbs, DIY Projects, Composting, Lights, & More

I am thoroughly impressed with how the author explains plant profiles in their book. The book provides easy-to-understand charts that include the name of each vegetable and herb, as well as important information on growing methods, light, water, temperature, pollination, fertilizer, and additional notes and tips. Not only are the charts helpful, but there is also a section dedicated to hydroponic systems. As a beginner, I had been struggling to find this valuable information elsewhere, so I couldn't put the book down once I started reading it.

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.

Easy to read, useful tool.

Overall the book had some good information. But it wasn’t what I thought it’d be for indoor growing. The part about different pests freaked me out. It wasn’t always clear how certain pests could come inside. It also didn’t go over details for indoor growing. It appeared to assume that eventually the plants would be moved outdoors. For a couple of plants it commented about growing in winter months, but honestly I thought all would be discussed for indoor growing, year round as the title suggests. There was also no glossary of terms and made a lot of assumptions about the reader’s knowledge.

We decided to turn a room with lots of windows in to an indoor veg/fruit/edible flower growing room. Timing seems right. Purchased from Amazon Shelving with grow lights, books and will study before beginning. Very pleased - so far.

Great book advice for growing a garden indoors.

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.

Looiung at the front cover i thought hydroponics was included but theres a very sm mention about hydroponics.

Great book for beginners or all rounders...not much info on microgreens which I would have thought would be of special interest for growing indoors....as I said, a good all rounder beginners book....or to get ideas that you could follow up with more in depth books

This book has been great so far. It has lots of information on how to garden indoors and what vegetables etc. are best for indoors. Highly recommend
