He and my grandfathers taught me to do and think logically not to mention the tips and tricks that came with it. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment
Great Lean-to Greenhouse! I'm sticking with my cattle panel hoophouse plans IF the lumber prices ever come back down! LOL! When I lived up north in WV they would use wood burning stoves in the commercial greenhouses. I remember, one lady had all of these sections put together, looked like she started out with a 12' wide x 20' long section and added on as she grew.There was ductwork along the roof and fans blowing. So the hottest room was for pepper and tomatoes and each add-on was about the same size. The cooler weather plants were all the way back at the back where the heat didn't quite make it all of the way but kept it from freezing. She had about 5 different sections. The last one, she ran out of yard, so that section went sideways. I always loved her greenhouses. I enjoy seeing how people manage to scrape together a plan that works for their environment. I sure miss those old Fiberglass panels they used to use for greenhouses. Those things lasted forever and they helped filter the light so that the greenhouses didn't get so hot in the summer.
@SandcastleDreams; I’m currently building 2 hoop houses over the garden to lengthen the season there too… Lumber,,, wow! The prices is outrageous and I need lumber for my new hoop houses too so I’m building a sawmill, I’m about 1/2 done, I’ll have a time lapse video of that when it’s complete.. I just got a semi load of 36 foot logs in, so as soon as I’m done with the building and can get to the cutting, I can finish my hoop houses. Thanks for watching and great comments.
Wish I’d have known about you a few years ago! Used to hunt Cotton Thomas over in Grouse Creek and passed through Fruitland on the way. Looking at building my own walipini soon.
Need at least 8' -10' Under ground, on some to utilize the best amount of free thermals. 2' are insufficient. Plants need air movement across their leaves, and solar panels for the heaters & fans. A bit of a cost yet necessary for ultimate self sustaining..
Super cool! I love what you've done here. Where do you buy those type of clear, thick polycarbonate sheets you used for the roof of the greenhouse? You've given me a lot of ideas for my own greenhouse. Thanks for making this video.
Dwarf citrus would be nice but this walipini is crammed full in the spring as our seed starting greenhouse... As for Jade, pick a plump leaf that has fallen, lay it on the top of soil face up, keep the soil beneath it moist. It will sprout roots from the stem side and grow a new jade plant.
It sure changed our lives… all of Ms Chrissies geraniums that are out through the summer have a place out of the freezing winter, as well as what we can grow inside. Thanks for watching.
Yup, the sweet thing is as it snows, the whole thing gets buried and the snow is great insulation from the extremely cold wind. It’s actually easier to heat when it’s buried up to the roof in snow.
@@CaptainWingnut Yeah, we have pre-melted blizzards here in FL. They are called Tropical Storms, LOL! We have to watch out for those partially buried buildings. They have a tendency to flood.
@@SandcastleDreams Luckily the ranch is on the top of a knob hill so the run off and monsoon goes away from us, but the ppl below get some seasonal moats.
