Planting with Winter Microclimates In Mind

Puja outside Dome with snow

Everything’s happy inside our Dome!

What I have found in my 22 foot Growing Dome is that there is a significant difference in the temperature at the outside edge of the growing bed and near the water tank.

This can be as much as 15 degrees warmer near the tank. What this means is that it is best to plant frost hardy crops in the outer bed and more temperature sensitive plants nearest the water tank.

After graduating from Western State Colorado University, I moved back to my home town Pagosa Springs. Since moving back home in 2013, I have been working to develop a farm in Arboles. 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.
