Sustainable Support
Garden Supply Guys’ new store recently opened its doors in
April 2011. We proudly offer Maximum Yield in our store, and our
customers love it. We usually run out of your magazine within
the first week of getting it in. I especially enjoyed The Great
Organic Hydroponic Debate article in the June issue. We wanted
to send you a picture of our store with Maximum Yield in it. In
the photo is our store manager Paul Hadler.
Thanks,
Robert Tait, web administrator

Loving Out Loud
I love your mag.
Jose Garza
Love your magazine and online info.

I would love a subscription to your wonderful magazine. I
get it whenever I can but the store runs out fast and I miss
issues. I love how up-to-date it keeps me with new products.
Cody Eurich
Maximum Yield has compiled one of the most extensive
sources for technical information I have seen.

Your article on light sources, amount of time and heat was

Ask and You Shall Receive
I am looking for information on hydroponically-grown fodder
(animal feed). We have horses and chickens and both can
be fed with this fodder. The systems being sold are very
expensive but look really simple; although in building my
own system I found it to be more complicated than I first
thought. Barley is used primarily but one can include flax,
wheat and other seeds. The growing cycle is only six to
seven days from seed to harvest and one pound of seed
produces seven pounds of feed. This makes the system
cost-effective and could cut feed cost in half; not to mention
the lush green quality of the feed. Some of the feed we
buy (dry grass and hay) can last up to one year and fresh
is better! I can’t find any hydroponic parts’ manufacturers
catering to this market and the information is hard to come
by. Other horse and cattle owners I’ve talked to are very
interested in this information; the cost of feed is going
up with gas prices, and the higher it goes the better this
system looks and there’s no question it’s better for the
horses. Any input would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Sonny Hinkle
Sonny, you’ll be thrilled to learn that the world-renowned
hydroponic consultant and book author (not to mention
esteemed Maximum Yield contributor) Dr. Lynette Morgan agreed this topic would be worthy for the pages of
Maximum Yield and of interest to our readers. Look for her
article Fantasic Fresh Fodder in the September issue of Maximum Yield USA, available online and in hydroponic retail
shops around the world.
We want to hear from you!
