Second Hour Guest

Joel KarstenIn the second hour, JD is joined by author and horticulture expert, Joel Karsten for a discussion about possibly the greatest gardening technique in existence today, Straw Bale Gardening! Joel walks us through all of the benefits of straw bale gardening, take us thorough the process step by step and takes listener calls to answer your gardening questions! The time is now to reclaim your ability to grow food and to do it all without having to weed your garden!

Joel Karsten is a graduate from the University of Minnesota and received a Bachelor of Science degree in Horticulture Science. He worked in the “Green” industry after graduation, running his own landscape design and Installation company in the Minneapolis/St.Paul metro area. He is still an avid vegetable gardener, trying new varieties of anything he can fit into his 20 bale garden on his limited residential lot in Roseville. He is also a fan of tulips, dhalias, roses, hostas and day lillies, and is always on the lookout for new introductions.

Changing careers is something many people do several times in a lifetime; Joel made a change in the 90s and began a small manufacturing and distribution company. Adventure Products, his current company, sells products in the toy, gift, hobby and novelty industry to retail stores world-wide.

Joel KarstenJoel Karsten is a graduate from the University of Minnesota and received a Bachelor of Science degree in Horticulture Science.  He worked in the “Green” industry after graduation, running his own landscape design and Installation company in the Minneapolis/St.Paul metro area.  He is still an avid vegetable gardener, trying new varieties of anything he can fit into his 20 bale garden on his limited residential lot in Roseville.  He is also a fan of tulips, dhalias, roses, hostas and day lillies, and is always on the lookout for new introductions.

Changing careers is something many people do several times in a lifetime; Joel made a change in the 90s and began a small manufacturing and distribution company.   Adventure Products, his current company, sells products in the toy, gift, hobby and novelty industry to retail stores world-wide.   See a few images below of the most popular items, and click to order if you are interested.

Teaching Community Education became an interest of Joel’s when eBay recruited him several years ago to begin teaching interested eBay “newbies” how to sell effectively on eBay.  After many years of using eBay as a tool to sell his company’s products and to find new wholesale customers for his products, Joel’s company was one of the most successful eBay sellers in the region.   Having had a great deal of experience and expertise in eCommerce, Karsten created a class that helps new sellers avoid pitfalls and take advantage of his many tricks and tips as they start their own businesses selling on eBay.  He now travels the Midwest teaching “The Basics of Selling on eBay”, and “Advanced eBay Instruction”, and he also does independent business consulting.  He is one of only a small handfull of Certified eBay Education Specialists recognized world-wide with this level of expertise and is currently the top certified specialist in eBay’s system.  Click to see feedback left by his past students in regard to his classes.  If you have ever thought of selling stuff on eBay,  click to sign up for a class nearby; you will not be dissappointed!

Joel is married to Patty, and they reside in Roseville, where they have a dog named Aspen.  Joel and Patty are avid golfers and Joel follows the Minnesota Twins baseball team closely.  He also follows the Vikings and is a fan of both the University of Texas and Minnesota football teams.  He enjoys jazz and country music, red wine, single malt scotch whiskey and cigars, usually while relaxing in his backyard in front of the 16′ tall granite fireplace he built as his summer of 07 project.
