Growing year round in a DIY greenhouse

[@alex_chubby_monkey6115]

Those kids are going to grow up with magical memories of every summer running around and playing there living plant fort💚amazing parenting

[@mushy.popcorn]

This! I was just thinking "damn... that would've been sooo cool as a kid."

[@despicabledavidshort3806]

If they don't get bit by a snake

[@alex_chubby_monkey6115]

@@despicabledavidshort3806 I don’t know mate they could get bit by a snake anywhere a hike, running around in the garden or a park you can’t shelter kids from the unknowable and the unpredictable parts of life like that. you can only try to minimize it. She had a controlled are where she goes and checks often for gardening, in the mist of all of it it’s great memories for those kids and immersing them in nature, learning about gardening or how small ecosystems work. That’s a win to me

[@aperocknroll88]

I'm just imagining the squash bugs flying around...

[@galacticnerd3243]

​@@despicabledavidshort3806 snakes don't go after people lmao they want to be left alone

[@lornaj3310]

Wait wait wait I need more. I need like a 2 hour KZbin explanation of how you use this. Where are you? How cold does it get? Can you grow all winter? How long were the panels to get a tunnel that tall? I live in the incredibly dry and bitterly cold (during winter) high desert and I'm exploring options. I'd love to hear more about this!

[@user-ky8je2qj3z]

If you had a channel to just show videos like this & ask those kinda questions, in hopes the extra engagement gets answers? I'd sub!

[@tnijoo5109]

Yes plz!

[@alishaberrey4479]

I need this as a documentary

[@LatigoRanch]

Ditto! We live at 7,200 feet in the high plains of Colorado. Typical cold is in the teens, but it's not uncommon to see far below zero. We saw -40° about six weeks ago.

[@hulking_presence]

​@@LatigoRanchare you talking -40 Celsius or this crazy, nonsensical, bizarre american measurement of yours?

[@alicestorm6239]

You sold me. Multifunctional, beautiful, perfect!!!!!

[@hera7884]

Tried this once, should’ve seen the spiders omg

[@MaLuDramatic]

No one talks about those😮

[@theroyalcrane]

Yo 😂. I made friends with mine. They took care of so many of my pest insects.

[@TheSunRiseKid]

@@theroyalcrane EXACTLY!! I love the spiders in my garden!😊🌱🕸️🕷️

[@mrspogadaeus]

Spiders are our friends. Except black / brown Widows and brown recluse. Those you kill with fire.

[@anacondaeunectes1854]

Spiders? No thanks! Im allergic to spiders like some people are with bees.

The "kids fort" ❤...one of the best memories as a kiddo.

[@craftmom5302]

Thank you for showing this because this is also a really ingenious idea for urban gardeners as well to grow in the winter time and I think me and my neighbor may try to do this

[@willgaukler8979]

... zone 6 here ... short growing season. ... makes this hooper really great deal too ... fresh herbs in March anyone ...

[@MrCaboose83]

Would love to see a detailed video on how to build this

[@simplysaida]

If you search youtube there are dozens of videos on cattle panel greenhouses.

[@TT-di4qz]

I love this idea!

[@catmanderson1]

What zone are you in?

[@rmcnally3645]

Really cool! Have you had any issues with pests overwintering as well?

[@livus3787]

This. Is. Such. An idea 🤯😍

[@myhomegarden4615]

It's amazing I like tunnels farming

[@fanym8323]

Beautiful ❤

[@emdeejay7432]

I wanna do something like that in my yard I gotta order some cattle panel from tractor supply. Those arches are so cool when they're finished. And I'm sure more sturdy than anything you would buy already made.

[@venturabonilla8645]

Great job

[@bufflink3963]

Round pvc supports ìn the middle could double as a grow towers 👍

[@jgreen4880]

Perfect💚💯💪🏽

[@amandalee2177]

This is so beautiful 😍

[@jodyparkman7440]

That would collapse so fast here in Minnesota! We have beyond brutal winters! Great 👍 job though for your living area!

[@Gattawon]

how many hours per week are you putting in on all this? looks like a full time job!

[@Blossomandbranch]

It is full time! We sell flowers to fund my gardening habit 😅

[@wetwet6931]

Like your style with the tunnel and covering,

[@alyssastropicalfruittrees5754]

Wow that’s really cool you can grow whole year around 🤩🥰

[@dolly0315]

Super Amazing = Thank You for sharing

[@tanjaaldejohann6987]

Super Idee 💡

[@anneonnamouse5496]

Does it handle -40?

[@douglasfick4817]

Thanks for the great idea,

[@jmbriggsie]

How do you keep it warm?! I'm in WI and I have a greenhouse about half your size but I struggle to keep it warm enough inside

[@eugeniab2990]

try one of those “half underground” greenhouses :) i hear they also het more light, surprisingly :)

[@ajb.822]

I'm also in WI. Dunn co. area, so, zone 4 most of the places I've lived around here. I don't think you can have an unheated greenhouse (which is not attached to a heated building like a home, on the south side) here and avoid the ground freezing hard, unless MAYBE, MAYBE, as the other commenter says, one of the in-ground ones, aka a walipini I think. To really get enough temp mitigation, it may need to be fairly large, idk. I just know there's a place with a huge on in MN in which they raise lots of things but famously, those donut shaped peaches. ( I'm wondering how they avoid aphid or other indoor-growing issues). For me, if I'm wanting one to be for any real winter use, it's going to be a sunroom attached to the south side of my home. Just seems to me that for the effort and price, I'd rather be able to ensure it won't freeze, have it's excess heat help heat my home in spring and fall, and be able to walk right into it in my slippers ( or bare feet !) in winter.... . But, there are way to rig up fairly passive ( non-electric) ground-heat methods, and of course use thermal-mass-heat-sinks like stone etc. or black water containers ( and I'd definitely use a cold sink as well, below the level of the plants). I haven't watched it yet, but Verge Permaculture just released a new video ON a cold-climate, passive, Walipini greenhouse today, go figure ;) ! .

She gets snow so its obviously cold there

[@designdoctor247]

brillant!!!

[@wildchook745]

I wish we could buy cattle panels in Australia. The closes we get to it is a concrete mesh.

[@Pants13]

With the price of cattle panels you won’t spend too much more just buying a proper caterpillar tunnel

[@mattfisher8568]

Cool! Love the Patrick Watson for the soundtrack!

[@gomezaddams6470]

Kids heck! I AM OLD ENOUGH TO BE GREAT GRAN. I WOULD LIVE OUT THERE AND LOVE IT. Sorry I don't know how it got stuck on BUT I'm too tired to change it. I always had some sort of something similar to this. My spine got damaged and I can't do this very well but when I have the property I seem to manage to get this done and nothing else lol.

Where did you get the cover, and what mil is it? Thanks!

Greenhouse megastore, 8 ml!

Are you Yanks talking about millimetres?

[@pkij140]

@@austenhead5303 It happens sometimes lol

[@buckcooper7391]

I doubt the cover is 8mm..what does that mean to you Americans?

[@coshda]

Not talking about millimeters, but milli-inches. Mil is a thousandth of an inch, it would take 39 mil to be 1 mm.

[@dianabrown5090]

Could you tell me what it is you cover your tunnel with ? What it is called , we tried heavy plastic but it didn't hold up very well over winter. Ty

[@Blossomandbranch]

It’s 8 mill greenhouse film, UV rated!

She commented on someone else in zone 3 and said it would extend our z3/z4 season on each end but wouldn't work in the deep winter. I'm guessing she's z5.

Yeah, both mine collapsed from 5" snow in northern CA where we never get snow. Once collapsed, collapses again. :/ We had a tarp over them for ag shelters.

[@Blossomandbranch]

Wow, ours has held up to 2’ of wet snow. The angle on yours was likely too flat on top.

I'm confused. The plants you grow during winter, does the sun shine through the big white tarp enough for them to grow?
