Book....
Not only do I have it but we (the London Orchid Society_ bought a copy
for our club library. The club copy gets a lot of use. I don't see many people changing their way of growing but it does make very interesting reading. I would say that it is worth the price (although it is not the cheapest book around). It does go into a lot of detail with a lot of charts that make it pretty clear how to grow that way. I am not an expert in soilless Culture (or I wouldn't need to buy the book in the first place) but I do have a Biology degree and have spent my share of time in school chemistry labs. Based on that background I think the content is pretty accurate. At least I didn't see any glaring errors pop up when I was reading it. Mind you, I hear Ray has some pretty good instructions on his website for doing the same thing and they don't cost anything. I would definately recommend it as a book for a club library. I am also happy that I spent the money on it because even though my wife and I do not grow that way, we find it interesting to read about alternatives.
