Start Here for Hydroponics

Start Here for Hydroponics is intended to aid anyone with a recent passing or serious interest in hydroponic growing or anyone who is more experienced but seeking different perspectives. The author presumed no prior knowledge but does not stop with simplistic information deigned only to pique your interest. It is, in fact, a rather broad and deep discussion that will provide you with both enough information to choose and develop a growing operation and to understand how to operate it and deal with problems.

The book is essentially in two parts. The first stops short of the more technical knowledge that is always good to have but that is not required to build and run a productive system. In the second part - Down the Rabbit Hole - it delves in more detail in many of the same subjects. This is not a be-all end-all of hydroponics. It is a beginning, although a fairly robust beginning. Nor is it a D.I.Y. book on building hydroponic systems, although onw system is examined in detail as an example. Construction is a well-covered territory on the Internet, and providing practical construction details on all of the basic forms of hydroponic systems would stretch this into a book of daunting length.

It's a beginning but a very practical beginning that will get you up and growing with some confidence.

About the Author

Gerald Clough took up hydroponic growing in retirement, following diverse careers. After high school, he worked as a broadcast announcer, television news reporter, news presenter and radio news director.

He went on to earn a degree in Mathematics and a Master of Arts degree in Computer Science from Texas State University. Before that, he worked as a firefighter/EMT and trained in high-angle rescue methods, and continued for thirteen years as a volunteer firefighter and many more as a volunteer Paramedic and still holds a Paramedic License. He also holds licenses as a law enforcement instructor and fire service instructor.

He served as an instructor in Mathematics and Computer Science at Texas State until being informed that he could not stay without being on a doctoral track. Full time programming held little appeal. But about that time, the Sheriff, after watching him treating a vehicle trauma patient, recruited him as a Deputy Sheriff.

He then became a city police detective for ten years and commanded the Criminal Investigation Division. He served as a latent fingerprint examiner, Certified Senior Crime Scene Analyst, Forensic Hypnotist, Criminal Analyst, psychological profiler, forensic photographer, legal analyst and policy planner. He developed and obtained grant funding for projects in computing, youth services, community policing and victim services.

After leaving the police department, he served as judge of the Municipal Court before returning to law enforcement as a county detective, followed by ten years as a child abuse special investigator and state police investigator until his retirement from government.

He is unsure what he wants to be when he grows up.
