#Gardenchat with Bren Haas – S1E12
When I started Small Scale Gardening in 2014, I wandered into the world of Twitter to see what it was all about. On some Monday night, I found my way onto GardenChat session and discovered a tribe of really fantastic gardeners. The leader of this tribe was a very interesting woman named Bren Haas. Over the past year, we have had a lot of fun getting to know each other and sharing information, and I have had the opportunity to be a guest writer on her blog and host a session of #Gardenchat!
Bren is a gardener, blogger, podcaster, “people collector” and all around great person. On her rural property in Ohio, Bren and her husband have a variety of gardens, a pond, a greenhouse and a Bio Dome! At the same time, her blog and social media empire keeps her very busy online, but she has a great blog full of interesting gardening articles and fantastic recipes. Her recipes have even been recognized and published by Better Homes and Gardens!
I asked Bren to be a guest on the Small Scale Life Podcast, and in late June we had an opportunity to sit down and chat. In this podcast, we talked about the following topics:
Rural Living
- Finding Rural Property
- Ponds and Fish
- Internet Availability
- Pests (Deer, Rabbits and Gophers – oh my!)
Gardening
- Introduction to Growing (and Killing) Plants
- Her Gardens
- Hatred of Weeding
- Her Greenhouse
- Her Bio Dome
- Future Projects
Blogging and Podcasting
- Interviews and People Collecting
- Recipes
- What She’s Learned
Check out latest on the Bio Dome here!
Thank You
We appreciate the time Bren Haas spent with us on the Small Scale Life Podcast. I apologize that it took a month to post this podcast! Thank you for your patience. Bren was a fantastic guest: really fun to talk with and totally on the same wavelength. I really appreciated her insights about rural living and the tips she provided to me (and now all of you). I wish her the best of luck in the garden, in her Bio Dome, and on her social media empire, and I hope she will be back on the show someday in the future. After all, we need to see how that Bio Dome is working out!
I would also like to thank Austin from Beatsby_Roi for providing permission for using the song “Steady Wzdm” from The Lemon Water Chronicles, Volume 1, on the podcast. I would also like to thank Dillon from The Soapbox Collective Podcast for helping to connect with Austin.
