put chickens in there with the plants (separated by mesh) to keep the temperature up and provide extra co2 for the plants, also you get fresh eggs and they can eat any waste and provide fertilizer too

[@danmantor4954]

And sunken greenhouse would be nice too to Up temperature

[@Lars-snyder]

@@danmantor4954 Not when you're in the Arctic, the ice is too deep and the ground is bed rock pretty much. Those geodesic domes are the most efficient greenhouse design humans have invented.

@@Lars-snyder thanks but are more efficient the wallipini un another places

I have included your story in an article I wrote for a university assignment. It was a very interesting dive into the agricultural possibilities and necessities of growing in the deep North. Cases like this show us there is still a lot to learn!

Amazing work in artic. Ya mimicking the environment for sustainability in artic

Seems like a gold field for domestication. Just cull out the plants that can't survive in the cold until you have fully cold Hardy plants.

?

[@runessonadamar]

@@RealGalaxyGamers You take the plants that handle the cold the best every generation and keep, and then you will gett plants that are more resistent to cold. Thats what he's talking about

[@urbanwarchief]

Potatoes, raspberries, carrots, spinach, and onions. These are something I wouldn't mind trying to grow down there. Turnips even. Mint would be nice if you want some tea.

put a compost pile in the middle it gives out a lot of heat...when it's cooked you can sell it to...lift the igloo of the ground and insulate it underneath....put mirror sheathing on the north side of the igloo pointing down to the plants...

[@brodywolf5355]

Wow keep up the good work

[@asianwanderer7243]

GUYS!!!!! Hydroponics.... with fresh fish, Talapia, no need for excess soil, food waste can be ground down into a mush and fed to the fish. I think you guys are cool and could do alot with it.

[@scottfoster2487]

Use the a tri layer green house add a few chickens and a few goats and see how it goes.

[@edsemaj]

there is lots to think about and experiment with ....chicken is a nice thought but raising fish is more efficient ....get as much knowledge as possible and good luck
