Maximum Yield USA 2013 June | Page 14

FROM THE EDITOR | LiNda JESSON Increasing your yield isn’t just about growing more and more plants, it’s also about increasing the size of the plants you already have growing. That’s why in this issue of Maximum Yield we include an article by Erik Biksa who explains how to do just that. We also take a look at treating roses with milk (is it a do, or a don’t?) and list some ways aquaponics and hydroponics are different. For that, we went straight to the source: Sylvia Bernstein, the owner of The Aquaponics Source in Colorado. We offer other practical advice too, as in our feature on kitchen scraps highlighting five ways you can turn food waste into new plants, and in our rundown on windowsill gardening for beginners. Jump ahead and you’ll find spotlights on Holland from the Hydroponics and Oasis Grower Solutions that both dish about their company initiatives. Add all of that to our popular product spotlights section and our informative Max Facts section, and Linda Jesson you have just the recipe to start your summer off right! From all of us here at Maximum Yield, we’d like to wish you all a fantastic start to the summer season; it’s finally here! Also b H
