In today ’ s economy , it ’ s tough to find any value in something that doesn ’ t cost at least a little something . Maximum Yield magazine , however , has value and costs nothing . That is rare nowadays . Good for you , MY .

Grow Tip Tweets

Sprinkle some baking soda in the soil before growing tomatoes . Make sure you sprinkle it in the soil , not on the plant .

Use eggshells near the bases of your plants ! This will nourish your plants with calcium and also repel insects .

Humic acid is not a fertilizer as it does not directly provide nutrients to plants , but it is a complement to fertilizer .

Coco coir is a natural product made from the inner fiber of the thick husk that surrounds a coconut . It ’ s rot-resistant , durable , and lightweight .

Apart from hydroponics we use coco to germinate most seeds . It ’ s light and has great water drainage ; we highly recommend it !
