Okay so I finally got around to reading this 3-in-1 gardening book and here's my real talk review!

First off, the hydroponics section is GOLD for beginners like me. The explanations are super clear without being overwhelming. I actually understood NFT systems for once!

The greenhouse part made me dangerously ambitious though... like I'm now dreaming of a full backyard setup when I can barely keep succulents alive. The year-round growing charts are legit helpful though.

Only complaint? Could use more pictures! Some of the setup instructions had me squinting at descriptions when a simple diagram would've helped. But the troubleshooting tips saved my basil plants so we good.

Weirdly my favorite part was the companion planting guide - never knew marigolds could be such bros to tomatoes. Mind blown.

Would I recommend? Heck yes if you're serious about growing stuff beyond windowsill herbs. Just maybe hide your credit card before reading so you don't impulse-buy a whole greenhouse system like I almost did...
