Growing Domes

Here’s the update..from our “growing dome” as of the beginning of August.  There are so many ways to grow food…but these “growing domes” are SO much fun…and provide a TON of food year round!  Instead of just posting a video of our dome this month…I’m posting videos of a few other dome growers showing their projects.

 In the two videos above, Anthony Anderson..from rawmodel.com..shows us his 22ft. growing dome and ”Eco Village” permaculture project in Minnesota.  Anthony’s passion for growing foods and being self sustainable has inspired us from the very beginning.  Without his amazing website and sharing his research with the world…we wouldn’t have even known anything about ”Growing Domes.”  

If for some reason you found your way to this site…and haven’t seen Anthony’s site…check it out!!  It will take you weeks to sift through all the content available there!  We’d like.. someday soon…to care for bees and a more extensive garden and “Eco Village” on a few acres like Anthony’s..SO inspiring!!

In this video.. grower..Breigh Peterson from http://buckhorngardens.blogspot.com ..shows us a 52ft. Growing Dome in Colorado.  Our dome is 18ft. in diameter..so you can see how big these things get in height as well!!  Very beautiful!  These domes are being used in altitudes/latitudes as far north… as Sweden and Alaska…with amazing results! 

Last but not least..here’s the hub and beginning of it all. 

Udgar and Puja Parsons from growingspaces.com explain to us why they started growingspaces and show us a few domes and growers in the Rocky Mountains.  They’ve been living this lifestyle and working with this technology most of their lives.

Check out their website for many photos and videos of growing domes around the world.  We especially love what their doing with schools….and helping children.
