November—the perfect month to share your
bountiful harvest and to start planning your
next garden strategies. There are plenty of
ways you can keep your green thumbs active

efforts to ramping up your indoor gardens. In
this issue we include many tips and tricks to
help you do just that, including our top picks
for plants you can grow in cooler weather.
Looking to find out what makes a soil healthy?
We’ve got the answers! In this issue you’ll also
learn about combining innovative lighting
technologies, examining root exudates and
choosing the right type of pest control based
on what you’re growing. We’ve also got special
features on carnivorous plants, victory gard ens
from the
and plant hormones rounding things out. Also
be sure to check out this month’s featured
products—perfect for getting an early start on
your holiday shopping for the growers in your

life, or compiling your own wish lists.
Last month we wrapped up an amazing 2014
Indoor Garden Expo tour with our Boston
show. It has been inspiring to witness the growing interest in urban farming across the country. The 2015 Maximum Yield Grow Like a Pro
Indoor Gardening Expo Tour has been announced and we have a dynamic
lineup of shows that will reach indoor gardening enthusiasts from coast to
coast—Seattle (March 7-8), Chicago (May 30-31), Los Angeles (July 25-26)
and Boston (TBA). Visit indoorgardenexpo.com for more Expo details.
Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Maximum Yield! Share your favorite
