from the EDITOR
tioning-and we visit an old friend of ours to give you
an account of how that’s been happening.
We skip across the globe to visit some friends in
Amsterdam who dedicate themselves to the craft of
urban art. While the visuals may stop you in your
tracks, the parallels to urban growing may fill your
inspiration banks a little too:)

Gardening is a go-go!

Hello Again!
Welcome to Issue 12 of Grozine.
We are pleased to roll out our fattest edition to date-and as you’ll see
it’s all killer, no filler. We didn’t grow our page count this edition with
fluff ads. No ladies and gentlemen, it’s thick because of our A-Team of
hydroponics contributors and great people, just like you, in our growing
global network sharing what matters to them—with the bond that connects us all, and that’s a serious love for all things leafy and green.
This issue comes a couple of weeks behind our usual monthly launches,
but we wanted to make sure we had your attention, because we understand it’s a busy life. With International and North American Trade
Shows and Related events unfolding in close timing, we figured it might
do us some good to wait until you could catch your breath again.
We figured you might have time to lend us an ear in your travels and
downtime, so hopefully you caught me, your faithful Editor, on A Girl
and A Garden with host, Emily Walter on DFZ Radio. If you missed it,
you can listen to the episode, commercial free, right here: http://agirlandagarden.com/2014/06/05/grozine/
The traditional gardening season is now in full swing!
This used to mean shutting down due to hotter weather, but that’s a
trend that is fast fading as growers look for security and predictable
results in sealed growing environments thanks to Growroom Air Condi-

And speaking of crafts, we get beamed into Casey
Jones Fraser’s world of backwoods moonshining-Jim
Beamed, that is. Legal moonshine from the proudest
of traditions, in this second installment that shakes
hands with the good people still carrying the flame.
AND OF COURSE we are CHOCKED FULL OF HARDCORE HYDRO Growing Tips and Articles that you can
put to work right away, in a wide variety of growing
situations-a lot of which don’t cost a dime, just some
of your head space.
We thought we might try and clean-up a bit meeting
you at the table in our twelfth issue, as we are maturing and growing. There’s a touch of “biz” you may
detect in some of our more Hydro-Industry-Direct
related articles. Even if you could care less about the
business end, most of these guys are master growers
and were kind enough to spill a few jewels for Grozine fans:)
Peace, friends.
