How Amish Heat a Greenhouse Without Gas/Electricity

[@paulshamblin6260]

Theres an old man in Nebraska who layed big metal pipe in trenches 6ft deep. Ran a big loop. Lets the ground exchange heat with the pipe blowing air through them. Now instead of heating or cooling from -10 or 90 hes working from the constant 65 of the ground. He grows orange trees.

[@jayejaycurry5485]

A point to keep in mind when building a multi-season greenhouse house is that 99% of light comes from the south (in the northern hemisphere), while only 1% comes from the north. But at night, if the walls of the greenhouse is transparent, you'll lose 50% of the heat to the south, and 50% to the north. So, the north side should be opaque and reflective to keep from losing half or more of your heat at night.

Never thought about composting inside the greenhouse, makes great sense though. I filled my compost bin with grass clippings and next day I measured over 160°F / 70°C with a bbq thermometer. It does drop fast but it's a great idea. In addition, in Canada, they have internal thermal blinds that close inside the greenhouse after sundown to trap the heat, and open at sunrise to let heat in, and they are growing summer produce while outside it's freezing!

[@larrylezon1590]

Arctopia has a huge greenhouse in Canada. The back walls are 55 gal barrels full of water, south-facing wall is all glass to let sun in. He has a small wood burning stove, but says he doesn't have to use it until the outside temps drop to -20⁰C to -30⁰C.

[@jenniferdutton2469]

I use clear plastic boxes for my spring seed starts. When it's below freezing overnight, I bring the boxes in. In mid-spring, I open the covers just a bit everyday to keep the plants from over heating. It works well for the few weeks that it takes to give the plants a head start.

Where I live, in the Midwest, a lot of winter days you don’t see the sun at all. I understand what is said in this video but there has to be more to this than what is said. Like an underground insulated heat storage pit using the black glass to draw the heat from the sun but add rocks to absorb and hold the heat to be drawn through the greenhouse during the night. Heat rises and cold falls.

[@jayejaycurry5485]

No, there isn't more to it, even though there could be if one wants. There were many methods and techniques covered in this video - not just solar heat. But there is one thing not mentioned. Every layer of protection added to the plants increases your USDA zone by 1. Thus, add a low tunnel over plants in an high tunnel or other green house and a zone 6 can become a zone 8 environment.

If you live up north, so the north wall need to be made of a wide wall made of rammed earth, and paint that of black color. The roof need to be made of 3 coat of plastic separates 1 inch from one other. And walls need 2 coat of plastic. Inside of the green house, beside the black wall, you need to create a compost area, made of straw, in a deeper canal. If you want to earn heat, you need to create cameras inside the green house. You need to create like rooms of 15 x 15 f made of plastic walls.

You don't need flat ground. Build your greenhouse to follow the slope on the south face of a hill.

Also useful for starting seedlings earlier than the outdoor weather will allow so they can be transplanted when it is warm and have a headstart over in ground seeds that would only just barely be starting.

Paul, et al, There’s a Chinese guy in Edmonton who does something similar. His site(?) shows pictures of a massive number of green houses in northern China that do the same. We must get moving on this here int the US. California p’s vegetables just aren’t doing it. Here in northern Wisconsin zucchini and cucumbers and bendy, eggplant brown and garlic old. I’m disgusted.

They have woodstoves in green houses. This vid is BS. The sun is clouded for most days in Pennsylvania winter…

[@flatoutautomotive]

it doesn't say anything about not adding heat, gives examples of utilizing heat provided.

Your comment is BS.

[@lindycasey]

I've been on lots of Amish farms and the whole fantasy of them doing clever things like this is not true. They shop at Walmart and burn massive amounts of wood to heat and cook. They use oil for lamps and heaters. All the greenhouses I saw were only used in early spring to finish off seedlings they buy from commercial growers.

Was the orange tree grower using a shelter, or just heating the soil?

Amish using power tools...that the thing that struck me the most... ⁉⁉⁉

[@paperburn]

battery power is ok in most sects . Electricity is forbade only in the house. the animals in the barn have no soul. so its ok to have electricity out there.

[@saraswatih9703]

@@paperburn Well, that seems a bit hypocritical to me... as for the animals having no soul.. well some have more soul than some humans.

[@saraswatih9703]

@@paperburn My reply was general, not specifically directed to you. And I have nothing against the Amish. On a trip to the USA, I went to visit a farm and had a meal there too. People were really nice and the food was fantastic. I have nothing but respect for the Amish and my comments saying that it seems a bit hypocritical was more of a surprise than a real concern. It was not meant to be insulting.

Thank God for the Amish they saved the country they voted for Trump and I said thank you to them and I love the way they live.

I found it strange to see they may use plastic but won't use electricity.

No, do not always wear sunscreen... vitamin d3 Wish, i could live with them for some time...

The problem we have though is there is an evil lot of faceless controllers playing with our upper amopshere (cloud seeding) to block out the sun 😢

[@modero6370]

What does it have to do with the Amish? If you try any of the thermal mass methods you will find out that you need a lot of money. That is unless you own a wreckers place or something like that in the first place. The money involved would buy you the vegies for many years to come.

[@redfields5070]

If you place a greenhouse like this in the South you couldn't use it for 6-8 months of the year.

[@joycebegnaud9645]

I know quite a few people who have them in the South and do well. As for me, I’m trying it for the first time and I’m in the South, so we shall see 🤷‍♀️😎

[@jayejaycurry5485]

There so many greenhouses shown. Most were cheap crap. Which one were you referring to?

Ironically, the green house is good science, the God stuff? Well God stuff. I will be using the science how ever.

They are brilliant about a lot. They do however use their horses hard then send them to slaughter when they are done with them.
