@christophherrmann5732 2 жыл бұрын

Impact of temperature (-fluctuation) & moisture/water vapor in greenhouses on electronics. One thing I tought about for a while now: Why not use waste heat, for example from a home-server/NAS, to heat a greenhouse ? (for this particular greenhouse setting: could a NAS be placed there and would WLAN penetrate through the building materials? Maybe some shenanigans involving solar panels for electricity) Maybe there is an industrial scale aplication? Like server-farm + greenhouse in the more northern regions like scandinavia.

"As big as I could go without a permit" was my limit as well. So I wanted a 10' x 26' but had to stop at 20'. Additionally, we are limited to "2 outbuildings" so I can't even get away with a tool shed. There's rules and then there's silliness and I think our city has crossed the line somewhat for gardeners.

Very nice video. Here to prevent overheating we paint the south facing roof with chalk. The moment it gets cloudy and rainy it rains off the windows so that the greenhouse can warm back up after rainy days. The flow water is used to water the plants. Because it has the chalk already in it we dont need to add it to the soil to provide additional Calcium or adjust the pH.

It's so fascinating to me that Chris is 1800 miles NW from me (Nebraska) and has a more tolerable growing climate. Love watching her stuff - great addition to the channel. As for your question - how does one manage a greenhouse in 5a/b when winter temps can and do dip to 30 below Fahrenheit? Is there an adjustment for wind chill vice ambient temp? And - dealing with days of perpetual winds that often equal 50 mph or more? "Frontier land" is a challenge - we get it. :)

Dark water barrels would be a great source of radiant heat, utilizing verticle space is perfect for a small area. Never knew the north to south placement, I would have thought the opposite. Very informative

Lovely greenhouse that, makes me wish I could have a bigger one (4x6), if you need to get the temps down in summer, wet the floor with a hose pipe, drops the temp back quite bit plus if you got any spider mites makes it quite uncomfortable for them, im growing in autopots in my greenhouse this year, keeps roots cool and the plants don't really suffer, most of my plants suffered last year till I hosed the floor down, all but a Carolina reaper 🌶 which seamed to just laugh at the sun

Thank you for this segment! I've been contemplating a hoop house for years to over winter pomegranate trees and the like, and start plants from seeds and have a source of winter greens. I'm worried about bugs, mold, mildew. Can you do a segment on greenhouse management. I recently found scale on rose cuttings I started 6 months ago in my kitchen window. I wouldn't want to lose a whole greenhouse of plants to pests.

OK, so I got a cheap GH to raise tomatoes this summer. Oh, it grew nice tomatoes BUT, !MAN! Whattalotta work a GH is!!!!!! When the sun comes out the temp inside skyrockets to 120F if you let it. I put a remote thermometer in mine & carry it in my pocket so I can check the temp often. When the temp jumps up to 80F I go out & open up the door & windows & get the fans running. THEN, if clouds roll in, the temp drops and I have to go back out, close up the GH & the heater kicks on. WHATAHASTLE!!!!!! You gotta babysit this thing. If you have a hard side GH you can put in powered windows & vents and automate the heat/cool. SO, I moved my GH into my garage for the winter. !

Hi! Thanks for sharing. I love such tours!! It is always fun for me to learn more about gardening. It has been a year but I still consider myself as a novice. I developed an interest for gardening when I saw my neighbor's glass greenhouse. IT WAS SO BEAUTIFULLLLL! I got to know that they bought it from Mulberry Greenhouses and bought myself a polycarbonate greenhouse for sale.

Thank you! This was SO helpful - both in confirming the things I´ve done right, and in offering some really helpful hints. I´d love some hints on season extension come the fall. I´m in zone 6a in Denver and had some luck with greenhouse greens and even snap peas into December. But I´m still not sure when is the best time to start seeds for extending the season through the winter. Plenty of herbs all winter and I had some lettuce and spinach in the greenhouse that puttered along from November to Feb and then exploded in early March, which was very nice, but I´d like to understand how to manage this so I have more on purpose and less just by accident! :0)
