Lars Gilman is a gardening enthusiast who has been involved in indoor propagation and the hydroponic industry for twelve years. He believes that hydroponics are the wave of the future, and that providing advice and technical support is vital to getting more people involved in this great hobby. A professional brewer by training, he also enjoys making beer and cooking… especially with the produce from his own indoor and outdoor gardens.
