https://growingspaces.com/ () I start this interview reading an article that Jason Stuck submitted to me to link on my website. I knew listeners would enjoy it and gain value from the article, but I also asked that someone from https://growingspaces.com/ (Growing Spaces) come on the show and talk about their awesome Geodesic Dome Greenhouses. https://growingspaces.com/5-garden-herbs-flu-season/ (5 Garden Herbs for Flu Season) Look forward to learning how to garden as I go, and learning from customers. Well, I can relate to that, we have a lot in common that way. So you guys are in Montana? Yes, my show is great because I have awesome guests and they are interested in Green jobs and I call them green future growers, because they are interested in learning about  they’re kind of visionaries and entrepreneurs who can make a green business as much as growing a green planet. Agents of Change I think that fits right in with what we are trying to do here. We call them “agents of change” Where we highlighted some of these green businesses that are  non-profits trying to build a sustainable feature how they use the products. More focused on them and how they use the dome. I think that fits in with some of your listeners. I was curious how many listeners you have. Well, I guess when it comes to podcasting, I guess it’s a bit difficult to really tell. I know my stats say that I get about 1500 downloads per episode. But how many actually subscribers I have? I don’t know where you get those stats? But Google Analytics says I get 1000-1500 people going to my website each month, but then they seem to leave right away. Like 60 seconds and they’re gone.  I think they want more video then audio. So last Christmas my husband and I put together this Free Garden Course last Christmas break and pounded out the first 6 lessons, but I’m kind of stuck on the other 6. But now I’m close. I did actually reach out on the phone and talk to my listeners and I have had several listeners on the show. Often they have more experience then I do, kind of like my husband who’s goal is to grow as much of our produce as he can.  We are in the same process, we have a lot of words need more videos infographics I was listening to a show on promoting your website the other day and he was big on infographics. I go back and forth on my show notes, it doesn’t take much more to do the typing while I am editing the audio. Which I like to do my own audio, I feel like that helps me it’s good for me to listen to the interviews multiple times so I can synthesize what my guests say with what we do here in the garden. How long are they usually? Well, my ideal is 35 minutes. But because I am on PRN.fm who needs a file of 53-58 minutes. My listeners like longer episodes because they like the content. https://growingspaces.com/ ()  Welcome to the Show today and here’s Lem Tingley from https://growingspaces.com/ ( Growing Spaces)! I’m the owner. We’re based in Pagosa Springs. My wife and I bought the company from the owners Puja and Udgar Parsons they developed the growing dome almost 30 years ago after working with Buckminster Fuller and John Denver at the http://www.wstar.org/ (Windstar Ranch) out in Aspen Colorado. It’s a geodesic greenhouse kit that allows you to grow food year round even in extreme locations like Montana or Colorado! I think someone reached out to me. I know my listeners are definitely interested in extending their season. One thing I have learned is that in some ways it is actually easier to grow in Montana then a lot of other places because we don’t have the bugs but I am chomping at the bit for some greens.  I generally don’t have to buy produce from August until about November anymore. I finally bought my first bag of produce the other day and what happens they have the romaine recall.   Janet and I... Support this podcast
