New and confused...need help!

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum. I tried finding a book on Hydroponics at Borders yesterday and they had...NOTHING!

I've never tried hydroponics but I think it would be the perfect solution. Since moving to Mississippi, (I'm from Oregon) I haven't been able to raise a decent crop of anything. We have "Bug of the Month" here, torrential rain, then no rain for weeks, and weeds that I swear are on steroids. The tomatoes in the stores are gorgeous...and tasteless.

My house is a jungle. Plants love it. Our living room has three walls that have eight sliding glass doors in them, south, west and east.

I'd love to grow tomatoes, zuchinni, cilantro herbs etc.. but I haven't a clue how to get started. What would be the easiest that I wouldn't have to mortgage the house to get it going? I obviously don't need anything with a lighting system.

We have a horse ranch and I was wondering if manure tea would be helpful in hydroponics?

Thanks for any help,

Kip
