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:) Hydro the World Gardening is a go-go! By Erik Biksa 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- 8 www.grozine.com 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. Erik Biksa
