Each grower needs one book which explains all things. You could try here(http://www.hydroasis.com/hy/items.aspx?id=9&item=books-magazines) some couple of books which gives you idea regarding new techniques from basic to advanced growing.

All New Square Foot Gardening is a great book for outdoor gardening including seed starting. I also second the suggestion for Rodale’s Encyclopedia of Organic Gardening. As far as houseplants it depends what you want to grow. I think Taylor’s Guide to Houseplants is good but if you are like me and prefer growing more unusual stuff like lemons and herbs it won’t be very helpful.

It is a good idea to find some at the library so you can look through them thoroughly and see what you think.

“Rodale’s Illustrated Encyclopedia of Organic Gardening (Paperback)”

I got this book a couple of weeks ago from the library and it is so helpful! I’m starting my own garden (mostly in big pots) and I’ve found this book covers pretty much everything. I really recommend it and I just checked; it’s $16.50 on amazon. After I return it to the library, I’m gonna buy it. Check it out!!
