In my spare time, one may find me backpacking in the wilderness, cruising on a mountain bike, slacklining in the park, or skiing Wolf Creek. I also enjoy creating art when I am not outdoors. The mediums that I enjoy working with are yarn, canvas and paint, and clay. I have been experimenting with aquapoinics and am always excited to share knowledge on the subject with others.

  • I want to buy a green house. I live in Spanish Fork, Utah, and would like to grow lettuce, tomatoes, carrots,
    and other good vegetables. I would also like to grow flowers, that I can plant in my yard in the spring. I would
    like to buy the green house next spring so I can get it all set up for using in the fall. Thanks Paul Snyder

  • Hello. I don’t have a well and so I bring my water in which makes it a precious commodity. I currently have a small grey water garden and am curious if anyone is successfully using grey water with the growing dome?

  • I do love all of your video’s. We have one of the first Growing Spaces domes you built here in Black Hawk, Colorado. (I believe) Elevation 8,200 ft, I am struggling with aphids this winter. But really love seeing your domes thrive. Thanks for sharing

    • I use the gallon size sprayer & fill with water with:
      1 tablespoon of cold pressed Neem oil
      2 teaspoons Dr Bonners Sal suds
      2 teaspoons wintergreen alcohol (Walgreens)
      These can be found at Natural Grocers

      If you spray 2-3 days in a row it helps a lot. I also put out lots of ant bate from Gardens Alive. I am gone a lot so it is a challenge. I always put out fresh ant bate every 2 weeks because we are in a sandy area.
