Watched twice & shared thrice so 2 thumbs up. Good job Nate,thanks Stef. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@StefanoCreatini]

Appreciate it John!

[@mantihomestead]

Thanks John! I love the support! Binds us all together in a common goal and for me-keeps me posting!

[@mantihomestead]

It was so awesome to have Stefano on theHomestead! Such an intelligent person, and such a great individual right to the core!

[@carolewarner101]

Wow, so many good ideas on this urban homestead. Those underground cooler rabbit burrows are brilliant! Great, safe, climate stable space for the mom's to give birth and raise their babies, yet easy access for the farmer from above. Also really love that greenhouse. We're interested in growing quite a few things that won't grow well naturally where we live; bananas, avocados, olives, citrus, ginger, galangal, lemon grass, turmeric, papaya, etc. In a long greenhouse of that style, we could set up an environment that will allow for those trees to survive winters here and produce food for us in the summers when we have good sunlight. Also love the small jersey cows for milk and meat. Pretty cool stuff!

[@mantihomestead]

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it.

[@DevinHeida]

Wheres the uneddited version? I could've watched this for 4 hours, loved it.

[@StefanoCreatini]

[@21stCPH]

Absolutely amazing and inspiring set up!

[@mantihomestead]

Thank you!

[@cole3495]

This is such an amazing set up. Thanks for sharing.

[@StefanoCreatini]

Glad you like it! This is the best greenhouse set up Ive seen

[@brentparks8524]

I've been watching you both for so.e time now. Glad you were able to connect. Such a wealth of information! Didn't realize I hadn't subscribed but I am now.

[@StefanoCreatini]

Thank you. Appreciate it. Nates greenhouse has been my favorite design to date.

[@chadsproduce]

Awesome job Nate 🎉! Beautiful greenhouse! Look forward to meeting you in Manti sometime soon.

[@mantihomestead]

Thanks!

[@BasicBenny]

this man is living the dream

[@mantihomestead]

Thanks! I hope things go well for you as well!!

[@CAdufraine]

Really awesome set up, id love a backyard like that once i finally escape California. Great videos also, first time stumbling across it and loved the content

[@mantihomestead]

Thanks!

[@user-qz6fp5qy1u]

Does Nate ever welcome visitors to learn from him? I’m in utah and would love to duplicate that greenhouse!!

[@mantihomestead]

Would love to help! I have a video about our vacation rental on the homestead. Would love to show you!

[@DevinHeida]

Love the design and look, think the only thing that comes across my mind that I would add, is whirlybirds on top of the greenhouse to pull hot air out if needed.

[@mantihomestead]

Great idea!!!

[@No_oonee]

Just awesome!!

[@mantihomestead]

Thanks! It’s only getting better as we learn a little bit more effective growing techniques inside :-)

[@regenerativelifewayne]

This is awesome 👌 and one of my goals

[@Xertusxin]

Great video

[@StefanoCreatini]

Thanks!

[@jasonleong7151]

Awesome, the rabbit nests are a genius idea. But why no chickens?

[@StefanoCreatini]

He has laying chickens, I didn’t film them

[@mantihomestead]

We have chickens for eggs, and rabbit for protein. I do like the idea of meat chickens, but wanted to diversify since rabbits are more efficient.

[@490209205]

your channel had really underrated due to the contributions to the communities from the world that don't have the knowning of ecological consciousness.

[@StefanoCreatini]

Thank you

[@fuzzynfriends8383]

Amazing!! I’m in Nevada and get extreme temps. Your video is inspiring. 3 questions for you: 😂 1. During the summer- do you drain your thermal mass, take it out?? 2. How many tubes did you dig 6’ down? 3. You said during the summer the hot air comes in and goes up and out…. What is your “up and out” setup?

[@joffren-is7gp]

Thats really beautiful

[@mantihomestead]

Thank you!

[@BBFLYRISEN]

This was incredible. ❤

[@protectyour2a482]

We ended up staying at one of their neighbors- Chris Laytons tiny home that the Airbnb out and was mesmerized by their fairly similar setup. We ended up buying fresh honey and Asiago cheese from them, wonderful people and a wonderful stay. We love the Manti area

[@marshajamison7463]

This is really neat!

[@HomesteadRanger]

Nice work!!

[@joeyc.1854]

Awesome,👏

[@clint4472]

Another gem!

[@laurelweiner8]

Bravo!

[@RyanSunDynasty]

Amazing video!!! Thank you for sharing! ❤

[@daiquiri_dan]

Very interesting

[@GeneDuaneMarc]

Great setup! Trailers for the sister wives? All hands on deck.

[@reinabrowne]

@mantihomestead - I hope it’s not just the non-native honeybees coming in to pollinate. I hope the native bees, who are much more effective pollinators, are able to make their way to your blossoms. I cringe when I hear honeybees getting all the credit for pollinating. Great video and lots of beautiful things in here.

[@melanieshields3048]

So do you know how much cooler having the holes made the green house? How many and how far appart are the holes?how well does the normal plants do in green house. Do you grow enough fruits and vegetables for your family? What did you use to keep birds in and pollenator access? How much does the vents open? Do they open toward the top, bottom,or like a door and how far apart are they? I saw the nice roof do you collect rain water too? How are you watering the plants? What are you planning when those trees get too big for the greenhouse?

[@tonicodner6189]

Goldman finches from Australia 🇦🇺 nice!!

[@insAneTunA]

It is a great setup. 👍

[@StefanoCreatini]

My favorite greenhouse set up so far

[@HighGradeTexan]

So Impressive I tip my hat to you guys

[@StefanoCreatini]

Nate did a great job with his build

[@5wisebannerguys]

What do you do with the finches in the cold weather?

[@mantihomestead]

They have lived through two winters now inside the greenhouse.

[@davej7458]

As long as other people's land is necessary to support your food animals, your homestead is actualy considerably larger than one acre.

[@mantihomestead]

You got me:)

[@pswanberg1]

Gigantic money sink with minimal food back on the table. Someone got bored during covid.

[@e.reneecunningham7688]

not a walipini, its the chinese greenhouse design with some air tubes to heat and cool.

[@StefanoCreatini]

It’s buried 4Ft into the ground, not a walapini?

[@djsmith1934]

I would love to come tour your place. Im trying to figure out a system for My Place

[@robertcroteau5597]

I bet that property was a steall for that banker.

[@lorrainechen420]

how does he water the plants?

[@mantihomestead]

Right now I just have on a regular garden drip system. I am looking at some other options and will do a video on it once I figure it out. It’s working OK right now though.

[@lorrainechen420]

@@mantihomestead good to know. looking forward to your update!

[@mayachico9766]

Do they eat the rabbits humanely....?

[@StefanoCreatini]

Yup

[@ka6148]

The cow looks normandy

[@e.reneecunningham7688]

also he talks like he designed this. No. You can buy this in a kit if you want.

[@StefanoCreatini]

Green house in the snow kits are similar but not close to this design. Lots of custom features like the passive earth tubes vs running earth tubes with a powered fan. Angle of the glass are altered, not a fixed pitch like a kit.

[@babyfox205]

Can't daughter to pick up slugs for free? 😅 Capitalist America! Too capitalist

[@StefanoCreatini]

Lol
