| 0:00.0 | What's going on everyone? Welcome back to the epic gardening podcast. We're here with |
| 0:04.0 | Stephen Cornette of Nature's Always Right, and today we're talking about a big move |
| 0:09.0 | that he made. He recently got his first greenhouse set up and operational on his farm. |
| 0:15.6 | So it was really cool to see him build it over the course of a couple weeks. |
| 0:18.9 | But what we're going to talk about in today's show is a little bit of the details of that build out how it worked how you might |
| 0:25.4 | apply something like that to your own house if you're looking to do a greenhouse but |
| 0:28.8 | also why did he get the greenhouse and what is the main reason that he's using it and what's he growing inside? |
| 0:35.4 | So without further ado, let's let Stephen come in and share a little bit about the greenhouse. |
| 0:39.9 | Hey everybody, glad to be back again on the podcast today so yeah this greenhouse has been a huge |

| 1:05.3 | goes over the top. |
| 1:06.5 | And the idea behind it was so that I could have a completely |
| 1:10.0 | climate controlled area at all times of the year. And because I live in San Diego, you know, our |
| 1:16.4 | temperatures are not that extreme. You know, we go up to about 100 degrees in the summer, |
| 1:21.7 | down to about 32 at the coldest in the winter. So basically with |
| 1:27.1 | the plastic and utilizing 50% shade cloth in the summer I'll be able to can really control those temperatures. I can |
| 1:34.4 | roll up the sides of my greenhouse, so there's plenty of ventilation and airflow to keep a really |
| 1:40.3 | good temperature in there. So one of the big components that I added on to my farm this year was growing micro-greens. |
