@@darthvader5300 Agriculture is destroying the planet. It is very frustrating how much miss information there is on this topic. Grazing can actually sequester far more carbon than forests at a much, much faster rate. If we grazed animals on a large enough scale, we could actually mitigate all human emissions. Growing plants can not do this. Plant agriculture uses massive amounts of fossil fuels and unlike grazing cattle, it doesn't mitigate its own emissions. The soil microbiome is killed with chemicals and that dead soil is lost rapidly, causing complete land infertility and desertification. Grazing animals is the fastest way to replenish these lands, bring the microbes back, give nutrients back, rehydrate, break up impaction, and build soil faster than any other process. It would take nature decades to build the amount of soil made in a couple of yrs of Grazing.

I love how he began to pursue that hobby after retiring from the post office at 65. Almost 90 and still designing and building geothermal greenhouses that incorporates new ideas and making the design concept better. Could he add beekeeping to increase his levels of plant fertilization, and raise more flowers to create a bigger honey harvest? Stay tuned to find out, or build your own geothermal greenhouse and let us know how it turned out for you.

You have totally missed the point. Hot houses are also used over here in Poland, but what he offers is low cost of heating in winter and the ability to grow citrus trees. I do wonder tho. The experts on citrus claim that citrus trees need low temps in winter, ab 10 degrees. 15 degrees must affect their health, and lower temps must affect other plants eg tomatoes.

Many years ago, I worked for a nursery, and they had several greenhouses that were built in WWII, to save money heating them. This was in New Jersey. They were basically dug into the ground, with glass roofs. We grew citrus and bananas in one. No additional heat was used, and in the Summer white wash was sprayed on the glass roof to prevent it from getting too hot in them. Everything old is new again, I suppose.

They add a very thick layer of titanium dioxide on top of a newly formed EMERGING sheet of glass emerging from a float glass furnace while it is still in the process of slowly solidifying so that the titanium dioxide will diffuse sunlight in sufficient amounts so as to prevent the other side in the interior from overheating or becoming too hot.

The guest was former military….I think it is the guy that transitioned to a woman, then transitioned back. (Not 100 percent sure…but he was an interesting guest-invented other stuff, too.) The other about using music to increase yields is in a YT post somewhere.

How blessed are you all, getting to have a tour like this?!? You were probably glad it is on film, you can go back and absorb every single bit of information more than once. We have an older gentleman, in our area who is about 90, or so,. He owns and operates a decent sized fertilizer business. He has a big old farm, cattle, and runs a bible study type of group during the week! He is a huge inspiration to all who lives in our little town. He drove his tractor down to our land one afternoon, when we were having our telephone poles put in. Sadly, a big, beautiful cedar tree was coming down, and he asked for it, which we, OF COURSE, told him he was free to take. He told us that he had his eye on it to build a big cedar cross for his chapel! So he is still doing beautiful carpentry work, as well! I love older farmers, they're a wealth of knowledge.

Thanks for this, very helpful questions asked of Russ, appreciate the diagram you provided of the excavation specifications for the greenhouse, also growing and planting tips. Most of these were not included in the other videos on the net on greenhouse in the snow,

Ever since I first saw a video about what Mr. Finch had done some years ago he has been something of a hero to me. An independent thinker and a practical man at the same time: someone who thinks outside the box and then puts his thoughts into action. God bless him and good luck with your own greenhouse projects. Regards from West Cork, Ireland.

Can this greenhouse method work in Wisconsin? What alterations in design are necessary for more northern states? Deeper tube depth?

I noticed someone else asked this: what about pollination? I have wondered that about all greenhouses. We so want several when we finally start our homestead! Cool video!

Some people attach their beehive with an insulated tube, however, that would mean a lot of bees in the greenhouse. My personal thoughts are that if the greenhouse is warm enough for citrus and mangoes it should remain warm enough to have a reproductive butterfly population. Butterflies were the main pollinators in America before the European honeybee. Also, mangos are pollinated by house flies

I mean you could hand pollinate things if you need to? I don't actually know because I open the door and let bees in, but obviously this won't work in the snow!!

Its pretty fabulous to have the greenhouse attached to the house. We do and It is my Oasis. The only drawback is Summer heat ! Its very difficult to regulate and cool it off when we get a heat wave. This has happened two summer in a row. That usually only last two weeks at the most. We bought a portable air conditioner for our Family room as that is the first room we enter from the greenhouse. I would not trade my greenhouse for anything. Love it.

I love that i clicked on this video because I thought something like this underground greenhouses a while ago and forgot to look into it, but have always had it in my mind. Now it makes sense to do these for tropical fruits in not so tropical places. And I definitely love the idea of it being attached to the house, so you just walk barefoot into it!
