Author Information

Thomas Green's passion for horticulture began earlier than most. Growing up on his family's farm in western Montana instilled in him a sense of personal responsibility for growing one's own food and leveraging the gifts of nature. As life eventually took him off the farm and he was no longer surrounded by the endless plains and fields, he pursued a budding interest in hydroponics and aquaponics, not realizing how quickly they would become the obsession of his life's work. Today, Thomas eagerly shares his thoughts and explorations in the world of self-sufficiency with anyone willing to listen. He writes prolifically on maximizing small spaces for big yields, and writes books written for experts and laymen alike. His methods are considered highly effective, and a lifetime of agricultural experience has prepared him for making new inroads into a method of farming Thomas believes will become increasingly important as we move deeper into the 21st century.
