Thanks Danny. Appreciate the walk through. Ordered a 20x60 from Growers Solutions last fall but didnt get the site graded by mud season. This will help greatly when I go to put it up. Stay safe.

Wow this is a beautiful indept look at y'all setup... I love uderstanding about the airflow fans and electric installs

I am so excited for the day when I can have a high tunnel, or at least a large greenhouse!

[@nutsvillecampo2251]

Maybe we should get together haha. You are having problems with cold and humidity, here in Spain it is Lack of water and heat. Always something. All we can do is persevere and Keep smiling xx Karen and Conrad xx

[@bobpeterson9207]

Growers Solutions have been so busy PLUS the cold they are not taking orders right now. But, I wouldn't want to try to put one up now anyway lol. I am actually about an hour and a half from them so, going to just go pick it up instead of shipping.

[@lindayoung6515]

Good morning I would love to have a greenhouses.

[@RhinoDNA]

Me, too. I LOVE these videos and I’m sure they’re done for the purpose of educating and helping people, but I fell certain that very few of us have available funds to invest into the homestead lifestyle. Being on a small limited income, this is nothing more than a dream for me (not to speak of the fact that I’m 73)...but it does give me hope for future generations.

[@fourdayhomestead2839]

Great info Danny. Your design tips would be a great benefit up here in nw wisc, due to high winds & snow load.

[@charlettenitzsche4160]

I love the idea of screening on the bottom. It will help keepout critters too. This will be a project I can do this spring. THANKS!!

[@americaforamericans6254]

Great video Danny and Wanda. Wish I would’ve went the way y’all did but I got to make do this season and do better before the next one🤣🤣

[@victorialg1270]

Learning lessons from gardening. Good stuff. I have been following the differences between the two shade cloths.

[@jneckcrank]

Your videos are very informative and inspiring

[@texgal4928]

So informative! Thanks for sharing. You guys have done a wonderful job!

[@1acrehomesteader43]

Thank you for posting this FAQ video on your high tunnel. I had some of the same questions. Enjoyed this video very much.

[@rlbgardener6465]

Great video Mr. Danny, that is a wealth of information and very much appreciated thank you guy for your videos most excited to watch each and every one when it available.

[@oldsouthhomestead7118]

We are starting the move Saturday of our 37x78 High tunnel greenhouse. It's definitely a greenhouse because it has a 30' swamp cooler and fans and a giant propane heater hanging in the rafters and we have a big wood stove for it too. We are turning one end into our milking room so we can run the cooler in the summer while milking and the rest will be citrus and other tropical fruit trees in the ground like an indoor garden

[@idahohoosier8989]

So beautiful!. Thx for sharin your knowledge

[@theword1222]

[@thehustlinhomemaker1467]

You guys did an amazing job.

[@FlomatonFamous]

Thank you for this video

[@ms.royahrens8777]

Thank you so much! Very, very informative video, as usual! We cannot afford a high tunnel right now, and we are hoping to move in the future; so we are going to attempt a cattle panel tunnel-with fans and window and roll up screened sides. We have been watching all your advice and hope to be successful in this endeavor! Thank you again for spending so much of your time helping others like myself.

[@1phloxy]

Grow melons there,and Okra pumpkins ect.

[@RaisingRoneys]

This is very helpful information. Thank you!

[@darrellburge721]

You will never be sorry you have the greenhouse. I will admit I have had a learning curve growing hydroponically in the Missouri Ozark’s. Had to figure out how to grow in clay and rocks. Big rocks. Even with temps -15 below zero it is still growing albeit slowly but I have fresh greens.

[@truthhurts2149]

Bought a 20 x 30 3.5' sidewall from growers solution. Went and picked up as they are only 3 1/2 hours from me and wanted 500 to ship it. Cant wait to get it up in the spring.

[@marithag2319]

Thank you for this. I was wanting close ups of the inside woodwork. I was able to get screenshots of everything. The beeswax openers, I need the manufacturer on that. This was a keeper, so I'm downloading it for the guys who will be building the ends. Blessings for all your valuable wisdom. What a legacy for your grandchildren!

[@marithag2319]

@@DeepSouthHomestead thanks, you guys are so good to your fans!

[@judydowell5573]

Have you tried mixing 2 tablespoons of baking soda to a gallon of water? Use one of those little pump sprayer you like. Spray the plants and leaves tops and bottoms. This kills powdery mildew. Also, peas tend to prefer cooler tempetures. They can lightly freeze. I'm probably not telling you anything new. Just hope it helps.

[@judydowell5573]

Repeat every 7 to 10 days.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

We tried this with no luck. Our humidity is just to much at times.

[@robertzelasko3991]

It was helpful. Thanks.

[@gsdalpha1358]

Looks like a professional set-up! I can get behind keeping insects out, but what about pollinators? I'm declaring war on Japanese beetle this year with double rounds of beneficial nematodes. Hopefully that helps. We really dislike insecticides because of bees and our (finally) healthy ground teeming with earthworms. Thank you for the tour!

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

We open the doors during the day. Insect problems usually happen at night in the form of moths. So we close doors at night. Any that gets in usually gets in the big zapper at night.

[@yessme1]

Wondering how you were doing.hope u dont loose to many plants with this cold.

[@eric7397]

Danny, I noticed how you took care to keep insects out. But don't you have to allow for bees to access some plants?

[@keithsutton9207]

Good morning you had a lot of good information . I am concerned about electric after seeing all these or outages around this nation have you consider setting it up on solar or some alternative electric source so that you could be completely off-grid on your greenhouse I am trying to go completely off-grid I find it very hard and very costly on my animals I stay away from electric as much as possible I still use it I do haul water and I do have electric wellI have outside sources for water that don't take no electric I will have this summer on my Lord land a hand pump. Thank you for sharing your knowledge very helpful God bless and prayers for you.

[@conradbaker985]

Good vid keep it up conrad spain

[@dianatennant4346]

As usual Danny a very informative video Even though I want one badly this is not the time to be able to swing one for me I may have to go with something a whole lot smaller maybe just be doing a hoop house of some kind we'll see God bless you all

[@jettyeddie_m9130]

One day I’ll have a property like yours Danny , The grow lights you could put on a platform or individual strings and that way you can lower or raise your grow lights to maximize efficiency 🙂

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

We have those in our other greenhouse by the barn.

[@caroljeanne1]

Hi Danny, I was just on KZbin and I don't know if you're aware of this gentleman. He collects antique tools.Last name is Killinger. Look up (Antique tool chest has kept this secret for over a 170 years! Just amazing!) There is a link and a contact phone number to the guy that sells these tools. I know you collect antique tools and I thought this was just amazing and I wanted to share the information. Blessings to you and Wanda, we love y'all, love your Ocala Family

[@RaisingRoneys]

Good morning. It’s still freezing 🥶

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Yeah and more on the way. That's why these are so important.

If you were to publish a design and construction instructions for your high tunnel, I would buy it 🙂 I bet many others would, too

Thanks Danny. I was wondering if you will be changing the soil with the powdery mildew. Much Love

No my understanding is it dosent live in the soil.

[@crispscaprines]

Will you do a parts list and kit information for Growers Solution? You had said gel filled automatic shutters, I can't find them on their site. I haven't found the extra parts for the top as well. Perhaps a short video in your high tunnel pointing out exactly each item; with the parts information in the description that we can print off? Thank you so much for sharing your journey with all of us.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

vent openers are from amazon. You build the window. These are just the openers. amzn.to/3u7MY6P

[@LazarickHomestead]

Can you tell me the width of each of the three grow boxes. The 2 on each sides and the width of the one with the cattle panel down the middle please

[@prchocolate80]

Where do you recommend placing a temperature monitoring device, at ground level, three feet from dirt,or higher? Then in the middle of the green house high tunnel or some where else?

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

In the middle about 3 ft high

[@bw-mi9xp]

maybe try some different varieties of peas to test which ones are more disease resistant for your area?

[@mildredlane3717]

Have u tried a dehumidifier ?? might help

[@gerhardbraatz6305]

I noticed that the white shade cloth covers most of the vent. What will you do to address the moisture control for that high tunnel?

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

You must be seeing something else the white doesn't cover any vents.

[@Waltzonthemoon]

If you have detail pamphlet for sale, I would purchase

[@jneckcrank]

Question on high tunnel. Do you graft any tomatoes and grow them in the high tunnel. If not why not?

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

I don't graft any. W have certain varieties that works for us.

[@SouthernComfortHomestead]

Hey, hey, hey Wanda and Danny - Good day, I have been planning future grow lights for greenhouse, which the greenhouse is in progress now, what kind of bulbs, watts, is it glass heat lightbulb or led, and about what distance and height should it be hanging? I have 1 bp 3000 led now - maybe I should get more, what do you think. I was thinking for sun, heat and growth....My greenhouse is low side wall 16x32. Thank you and God bless!

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

A true grow light should be over 6000 lumens to be efficient. Distance is debatable based on what plant is below it.

[@ABamaGardener]

Good Burrrrr Morning. The question I have is about the lumber on your raised beds. I noticed you bolted the high tunnel to the side walls of the raised beds. Aren't you concerned about how you're going to replace those boards with the tunnel attached? I'm guessing with the moisture, soil and our termite issues those boards won't last more than 5 yrs even with you painting them. How "easy" are they going to be replaced?

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

All bolts are galvanized hoping it won't be a problem.

[@ABamaGardener]

@@DeepSouthHomestead I've been trying to figure out a more permanent solution, ie steel, cement nope they wont work either. I guess the wood is the "easiest" just keep the WD-40 handy.

Thanks Danny for your info I live in South Georgia about 25 miles south of Hoss Tools ( a great company to do business with) I appreciate your videos and your knowledge. Insects are what’s making making me want to build a high tunnel.

[@kristidixon8485]

How long are you hoping the plastic will last before you will need to replace it.

If you don't have calamaties Growers Solutions said 5 to 7 years.

Around 6 years.
