I really enjoyed this book as a beginner[1]. I was seriously thinking about getting this [2]. For the price, it seemed very reasonable compared to making my own. I would of gotten it if I live in a more permanent location. I got an Aerogarden to try out but the light is so damn bright. I don't have any place in my apartment that fits it without blinding us throughout the night.
