Hey everyone! Welcome back to the homestead. Today, I'm excited to answer all the questions we’ve received across our social media platforms about our walipini. 🌱🏞️
In this video, I’ll explain why we built our walipini to extend our short growing season here in Colorado. With the challenging climate, it’s essential to have a solution that allows us to boost our harvests significantly. Our walipini has proven to be a game-changer, providing a more controlled environment compared to our outside garden.
I’ll address common questions about flooding (spoiler: no flooding issues here!), and talk about the unique features inside, like the rock wall that helps regulate temperature and supports our plants' growth. I’ll also discuss how we secured the roof with layered rocks and soil, which not only holds it in place but also helps deter water effectively.
This setup has allowed us to maximize our gardening efforts, ensuring we can grow more food sustainably and efficiently. Whether you’re interested in off-grid living, extending your growing season, or improving your harvests, this video will provide valuable insights into the benefits of a walipini.
