24/02/2020 Duration: 41minHappy to talk about any Hemp building topics or direction the conversation goes.I call my listeners Green Future Growers. I had a guest on the east side of Montana, and one of the things he talked about the importance of having a market ahead of time. And then my husband and I have always been interested in building a hemp house, or straw bale house but hempcrete would be even better.Yeah it totally would and it's exciting all the different applications of hemp being used across the United States. For that eastern Montana farmer what he said was spot on.You gotta have an idea of where the plants are gonna end up and who is going to buy it and using it for what purpose before you even start farming.Mike said you have to interview these guys and here is Tommy Gibbons to talk to us today from Hempitecture! Part of me feels like I have been waiting for this for so long, I thought this would pass back in the 1990's and I talked to Tara Caton last year at the Rodale Institute and I was like what is going on in our

2020 Garden Goals Challenge Bonus RAW Episode | Making Your Dreams Come True Inspiration and Garden Rant
18/01/2020 Duration: 25minHaha! IDK what to really call this episode. TMI? Inspiration? RAW me? But if you're new to the show Jackie Marie Beyer the host is also an artist. And I am working (like for over 25 years now...) on a book called Dreams Do Come True and another on traveling around Paris. Something I dreamed about forever and really never thought would happen. I have led an amazing life. I have had basically all of my dreams come true and have felt that way since the very first step I took into Mikes kitchen all those years ago back in 1992! I knew I was home. I wanted to move to Montana since I was in 3rd grade and have been here since I was 21. How many people meet their husband on a mountain side? It hasn't always been easy, I have had more then my fair share of challenges, and I've been a member of the working poor for most of my adult life. But I've also had amazing experiences and when I got to go to Paris in 2016 I basically kicked my bucket list. Mike and I never thought we'd dig a well, but we did in 2013 after sellin

298. Outside No Matter What | Michelle Lipp | Educator + Listener | Renegade Gardener
12/01/2020 Duration: 01h19min1. Tell us a little about yourself.My name is Michelle Lipp and I am an early childhood educator turned play-at-home mom of three kids and one renegade garden. In the classroom, I was infamously known as the teacher who went outside no matter what.I’ve taught in 5 states with varying climates and firmly believe in the Scandanavian proverb that there is no bad weather, just inappropriate clothing.When my eldest son was in his first year of preschool, his principal (and my former supervisor) remarked that my kids must always get to play outside.
