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..

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

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

[@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 love this so much, especially seeing the kids enthusiastic about everything! 🥰 I love seeing the garden's progress at Stonebend Farm; we are rooting for you guys!! 💪

[@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

[@wendyholmes1848]

[@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.

[@lysdexsick]

Thank you for showing this. I’m in zone 8b, but I still loose almost all my top growth every winter on my in ground trees. On amazon I see mostly permeable tree covers for that allow a little moisture in. Have you tried any of this type of cover? Also, do you close up the bottom to prevent ventilation or do you want ventilation? Thanks

[@vb4567]

Wondering about snow load. Its evident it slides off this time but the roof angle is less than 55 degrees which means it won''t slide easily. Do the roof panels withstand enough lbs per foot if it doesnt slide?

[@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 ?

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.

[@DJ-uk5mm]

I love this place thanks for sharing ….one thing, though I noticed your radient heating system had manual valves. In Europe We use electronic thermostat to electronic actuator, so you can set the thermostat to the desired temperature no need to open and close valves manually
