About the author

Over twenty years ago Jeffrey Winterborne developed a very keen interest in rare ethnobotanical plants. This interest developed into a very strong hobby which dominated his life. Jeffrey explored many cultivation styles over the years finally settling on hydroponics which took over from all previous methods employed.After years of experience in both soil cultivation and hydroponic cultivation, in 1997 he opened a hydroponics and indoor horticultural grow shop in Guildford town centre, Surrey, U.K. to which to date, he still owns and runs. With over fifteen years of dealing with the general public, the trade and scientists, answering every type of imaginable and some unimaginable questions on the subject of hydroponics and indoor cultivation during this time frame, Jeffrey felt it was well overdue for a professional, well educated, and up-to-date U.K. grow book to be released.
