Building a Geodesic Greenhouse, Completing the Growing Dome

Рет қаралды 652,147

3 жыл бұрын

I put a roof on the solar panel shelter and we finish building the geodesic growing dome greenhouse in the forest. Ben from Arctic Acres spends two days with me completing the dome, installing solar powered exhaust and intake fans and a water reservoir (next video). We cook our meals on an open fire in front of the shelter and deal with waves of blackflies that hatch as the weather warms.

In the last 10 days, my mother passed away and was buried. I thank you for your channel and what you do. On a good week it's a highlight. On a bad week it's a distraction. Your humbled outlook is not reflective of your amazingly positive effect on the world and those who watch you.

I'm really sorry about the loss of your mother ... and so close to Mother's Day ( if you are in the United States ) . I know how it feels , my mother died 2 years ago ... I hope your good memories of her will bring you comfort and that your healing from this difficult time will be swift . I have to tell you I don't understand the last sentence because i do feel very humbled by the work he does and i'm sure others do . What other channels here have you found that you like ?

@@gardensofthegods thank you for your thoughts. By the last sentence I mean he has such an amazingly positive impact on those who follow him yet he is so humbled despite it. Perhaps I'm not putting my words out effectively. I was close to my mum. She was amazing and has hit me very hard. So this channel I follow brings me solace. I watch fishing channels local to me (brisbane) dark doco channels and fascinating horror.

I'm confused. If this is a greenhouse dome, for growing food, why were all of the insulation pieces stapled on? I might understand on the north side of the dome because most of the sunshine comes from the south at that latitude, but it seems that much of the dome was covered in it and not a whole lot was left for sunshine. Also, the solar panels looked like they were put on the north/northeast side instead of the south. Can you explain the thought process?

@SiberianRomeo 2 жыл бұрын

From the website "The North wall insulation covers about 1/3 of the polycarbonate glazing panels on the inside of the Growing Dome® all year long. The insulation reflects light and radiant energy away from the greenhouse, which provides shade for the Above Ground Pond in the summer, keeping the greenhouse cool. In the winter months, the insulation reflects the light and radiant energy from the sun towards the above-ground pond, keeping the water in the pond and the ambient air temperature in the greenhouse warm."

I've always loved the rain . So when it's raining here it feels like a holiday to me and i savor every moment . I hope that the drought will end for all of you there in Cali ... and all the other problems they've been having . I once heard a Tibetan Buddhist Lama say drought happens in regions where the general population are not compassionate .... just an interesting thought ... reminds me of the lyrics from A Horse With No Name by America : "under the cities lies a heart underground but the humans will give no love " .

@@gardensofthegods Yes, Gardens (and good morning from Dogwood Canyon) I am within a short hike of the back side of Big Trees park in a part of the Sierras which boasts a huge variety of trees including the majestic giant Sequoia. My cabin rests deep in a Dogwood lined corridor along a small creek. The morning chorus of birds singing their spring serenades come lilting out from the flowering woods making this time of year especially magical. Those of us so charmed as to be able to live with nature are truly blessed. And those who don't can live vicariously through folks like Shawn. This far west we don't have Cardinals, but the vivid Western Tanager is our most brilliant species and a virtuoso singer as well. The males are bright sparks of tropical color with a truly lovely song they enjoy singing from the highest trees. The Black-headed Grosbeak has a similar song but does his chorus from lower down in the forest, so their are layers of voices coming from all about. Down low the sprite of our woods the Winter Wren sings year round in the most cheerful way and if approached it will sings but in a "whisper "so that when you are feet away if you listen you still enjoy their bright melody.

I actually cried when you told about your crazy neighbor, and deciding to move and start over. You had worked so hard. but, look at it this way ,you can change some things to make it better. You should build a bed room off the kitchen so your wife can have some privacy when she needs it . I'm sure she would like that much better . Just ask her.

Oh yes! I saw you had uploaded part 2 and got prepared. So excited! Prepared my dinner, got my iced tea, woolie socks on and I am so ready. You did not disappoint. I admit this is the first time since you had to leave the Original homestead that I have felt like you were "home again". I saw the pots being hung, the Berkey, and knew you had made it YOURS. The dome is more complicated than I thought. Getting over my initial sadness of your having to leave your last masterpiece and begin Homestead 2. And Callie helped.

@@gardensofthegods I don't remember all the details, but I know Shawn had to call the police at one point. This man was making crude and vulgar comments about his daughter for one thing, and he would park a van at the edge of Shawn's property and play extremely loud music day and night. He was obviously familiar with Shawn's KZfaq channels. I know there were other incidents, but I can't remember exactly, and I can't find the video where he explains all of this. It is really sad that people like this get pleasure out of making other peoples lives miserable.
