Wednesday June 27, 2018. I’m thrilled to introduce this guest, I was visiting my mom in NY and I took this book out of her library and it was called https://amzn.to/2od2zBg () https://amzn.to/2od2zBg (Beautiful No-Mow Yards: 50 Amazing Lawn Alternatives) And the introduction is by Susan Harris Garden Blogger from the http://www.GardenRant.com (GardenRant Garden Blog)! And she is here with me today and i know you are just going to love her. I grew up gardening a bit with both grandmothers and mother I wasn’t really obsessed until I got help The pay off once I got a little help, the result looked so much better. I have been a really intense gardener ever since!  I became very active in my local gardening club, I was writing in the newsletter. Someone said blogging was very easy so the very next day I started my very first blog, I started me in garden writing. Shortly after Amy Stewart asked if I would like to partner? http://www.GardenRant.com () http://www.GardenRant.com (Garden Rant) The Tagline is Uprooting the gardening world pretty nervy The mission was to have opinionated writing and be able to say what we wanted and not have to worry about advertising. That led to being paid to write for magazines. I’ve written for a lot of gardening companies in my area. It just kind of snow balled from there. I call my audience green future growers, and I feel like they are like that are more then just gardeners, we’re trying to grow as much of our food as we can for a year so we can massively supplement our produce bill. Green Future Growers I know a lot of my listeners have green businesses, either seed companies, or education or not always market farmers but some kind of healthy nutritious business that requires a blog and do you have any tips for making that easier or for starting to becoming a successful blog writer. Oh gosh Well back then in 2005 there were so few of us we all knew each other the event they call the http://gardenbloggersfling.blogspot.com/ (Gardener Blog Fling) They just celebrated their 10th year by returning to Austin. I would say just reading each others blogs and getting together in person we’ve become a pretty tight knit group. I don’t do much blog reading anymore. After 13 years of blogging just posting once a week which is just right, I’m glad I have a platform to post things. Garden Blog Writing Resources how to get blog reader write specifically for the web there’s much to know about it jump in published my first blog moved to different platforms find it so easy enjoy digital photography You can show them off in many places https://www.instagram.com/organicgardenerpodcast/ (Instagram) still I like the blogging because it’s not just photos because there’s text. I miss the text, if there was just pictures in Instagram.  I notice similar things. I feel like when I’m on my phone my eyes get tired when there’s mostly just pictures. I like https://www.facebook.com/OrganicGardenerPodcast/ (Facebook) more because there’s more white space. I’m doing better with https://www.instagram.com/organicgardenerpodcast/ (Instagram) on my computer for looking and posting comments. A little different tone ranting quite a bit Our least favorite home owner association rules that require you to have turf grass Our least favorite chemical companies that does a lot of advertising that pushes people to have the perfect lawn! We would often post about our favorite gardening shows on tv were gone! I learned to garden largely by watching HGTV and watching  Paul James https://www.facebook.com/Gardenerguycom-the-Official-Website-for-Paul-James-The-Gardener-Guy-91682843472/ (Gardening by the Yard out of Tulsa) We had a lot to rant about at first. You can’t keep repeating those same topics. We’ve gotten a little political with the changes coming to environmental law. Typically you... Support this podcast
