Contributors Volume 2 | Issue 12 Frazer Love Knew his life was etched in stone after meeting a fellow UGA student, fully involved in a double major in horticulture and business management. The next step was taking his passion to the next level by packing his college apartment with hydro equipment and mushroom cultivation projects. These home projects turned into a desire to make this his life’s work. Since 2005, Frazer has worked with various hydroponics shops (Atlantis Hydro & Flora Hydro) where he served and serves respectively as the branch manager. As if working fulltime at a hydro shop wasn’t enough, he started his own CSA. He built Perpetual Harvest from the ground up, literally. This tiny sub-acre urban farm has given Frazer the gift of feeding the stomach and brains of his family and friends. “Through my work and writing I look to inspire others in the hopes that gardening brings them as much peace as it has brought me” www.facebook.com/PerpetualHarvest www.facebook.com/FloraHydroponics lb a hard working member of the hydroponics industry that likes to share… his knowledge-and ability for achieving extraordinary yields with his fellow megawattage minded horticulturalists, that is! He’s always working on improving crops, or if your prefer: taking clones 2 zones! [email protected] Jeff Edwards A fixture in the hobby hydroponic industry since 1988. Prior to joining, he was the Assistant Director at NORML. Jeff went on to found and operate Home Harvest Garden Supply as a retail and ecommerce concern for the next 24 years. He is a founding and current board member of the Progressive Gardening Trade Association, formerly known as the Hydroponic Merchants Association. More recently, he has been offering marketing, advertising, and web development services to manufacturers, distributor and retail hydroponic businesses. He also hates typos. [email protected] Casey Jones Fraser An obsessed gardener. He grows veggies, herbs, and flowers with both traditional and hydroponic methods. His years of botanical experiences have taken him everywhere from Jamaica to Northern California on a quest for more knowledge. You can read his articles in various hydroponics magazines, or visit his retail shop: Garden Grove Organics in the Northern Kentucky region of Greater Cincinnati. www.gardengroveorganics.com Michael Christian Michael has written numerous articles for trade journals to promote the use of hydroponic technology, as well as documenting his travels abroad, including Practical Hydroponics & Greenhouses, Growing Edge, Urban Garden, among others. He was featured in a 2007 episode of the television show California Heartland, a program that chronicles interesting and newsworthy stories in the state’s agricultural arenas. www.americanhydroponics.com Jordan Gartenhaus One of those people that always tries to figure out how or why things work the way they do. To that end he earned a BS in mechanical engineering, but shortly after graduating he realized his time spent in school created more questions about everything around him than answers. In an effort to prevent from overwhelming himself now he focuses just on making gardens as fruitful as is scientifically possible. He spends a lot of his time optimizing grow spaces to make the most of the resources available, and also strongly advocates quality automation systems. www.grohaus-automation.com VOLUME 2 | ISSUE 12 3
