GEOTHERMAL GREENHOUSE'S First Winter - Ep. 020

In a previous episode, • 4200 sq ft GEOTHERMAL ... , we shared the build-out of the 4,200 square foot geothermal greenhouse at Stonebend Farm, but how does the greenhouse perform after almost four feet of snow this winter?
We'll be documenting the progress of the greenhouse build over the coming months and taking notes for our own greenhouse!

I keep seeing people do the same mistake with these geothermal systems. You never want to be pushing the hot air under ground. You need to be pulling on the cold side of the system in order for the refrigeration and heat storage to work efficiently.

Did u ever think of living in the greenhouse that is so big..

[@minavanderleest9493]

I've been looking for a video on this place finished. Are you planning to do an up date?

This is a playground for children and adults BOTH, hydroponics, aquaponics, hammock chairs and BOYS!! What a fun place to grow up. Lucky little dudes, Leland and Pfeiffer. Their family's enthusiasm is contagious!!

[@KingArtexerxes]

I would “love” to have some land and a greenhouse. I pray about this all the time, along with other people’s needs. I’m retired and poor though. I live in Missouri.

[@puregameplay7916]

I know right, too bad prayer is nothing but nonsense and all religions are just tools that the global elite use to control peoples thoughts and actions. Imagine if more people made an effort to change things instead of praying for a change.

[@David-oy6ck]

You lack faith (acting on the hearts desire with confidence). If you’re going to be religious, read the Bible anecdotally and think critically for yourself, instead of guzzling a cultist’s literal interpretation.

[@puregameplay7916]

@@David-oy6ck Religious "faith" is a man made IDEA that the elite created to control peoples thoughts and actions without the benefit of actual EVIDENCE. The FEELING of "faith" is a natural human feeling that we can have for MANY things, but religion TOOK ADVANTAGE OF IT and made "faith" an almost exclusively religious thing, and used it to brainwash dumb, weak, scared humans.

[@KingArtexerxes]

@@David-oy6ck Faith is trusting God, in both good and bad times, based on the evidence we’ve seen and experienced, and belief in His Word as the only source of knowledge of who He is. God is love, and prayer changes us. God’s goal today is to save as many as He can. But He won’t do it without our permission. We are to seek Him with our entire being. And when we do, we’ll find Him, and He’ll change us and never let us go. Your suggestion is from the enemy of souls. His goal is to destroy as many as possible.

[@marinadoerksen8107]

@@KingArtexerxes you are absolutely right. If we can't take God's Word at face value then God cannot be trusted. He is absolutely trustworthy as revealed in the Bible. You are the one with genuine faith. And God's main objective is not to give us all the material things we want but he sure gives us a lot of things we want and don't need. God bless you and keep you on the right path.

I would love to hear about the greenhouse in a separate video with clear audio.

[@jwiereng]

1:01 Temperature rate of change is not dependent on the size of the greenhouse in reference to square foot of floor area. It has to do with the mass (volume) of air and objects inside. ex a 4500 square foot floor area greenhouse that is 6 ft tall will warm up and cool down more rapidly that the same 4500 sq footprint at 18 ft tall assume all else being equal

[@amyp8162]

This is INSANE! Absolutely stunning! Going to be amazing for the community, too. Cant wait to see it up and running with the plants and the citrus trees his partner wanted. Just unbelievably well done!!!!

[@Justus11167]

The snow should act like an insulator and the sun will help warm it up. I’m wondering if the concrete is cooling it. There is a Canadian professor who built multiple types of greenhouses, some like this but buried. Those ones worked the best. He had one just like this but sunken about 20-25 feet down. He was growing tropical fruit. The video is on KZbin somewhere. Nice greenhouse here.

[@leotoma]

Is this foreshadowing for Flock's future thermal greenhouse for beautiful and lush tropical plants? 😁😁😁

To me geothermal is the answer along with solar is an amazing way to live. I have friend in MA, cold weather, and he has his house done with both and I was enthralled he had it. It's the best for the southwest states of course but up here. I love it. I'm sorry I'm just happy to see people get away from being held prisoner by government and their tyranny taxes and greed.

looks amazing .... but also amazingly expensive. Can you share how much the total greenhouse build cost?

[@cupbowlspoonforkknif]

That's the most important question. You could certainly make a cheaper 3 season greenhouse instead of year round, with the same principles though. Greenhouse poly instead of poly carbonate panels, lower height, do all the work yourself, for a few thousand dollars in materials.

[@m1ha1mateescu]

I have never seen such a project, and looks interesting, but I wonder if there is an issue with high humidity... If, of course, you plan to use the greenhouse for growing vegetables. Would you be so kind to elaborate on it ?

Let's hope they designed it to prevent mildew forming. Having a moisture in a timber building, in a cold climate is a very bad idea as many here in Iceland have found out.

[@VenezuelaNow]

yep, cedar would have the logical choice, oak + humidity = black surface mold then rot

[@bjarkih1977]

@@VenezuelaNow I was thinking about deeper mold that can cause damage to humans. If there isn't a moisture barrier in insulated walls when there's a big difference in inside and outside temperature the building will potentially only last 10 years in the worst case scenario.

I found this video in feb 2022… so it’s probably already done … but could be changed if desired probably so I will mention the idea. Chinese passive solar suggests to vent stove into greenhouse to capture more heat rather than vent it outside. Also… in a greenhouse party space … a hot tub could be nice !? Another heat source.
