I'd love to hear from you about your favourite earth battery greenhouse I didn't cover here!!!

Gardening wisdom is for the benefit of all. I agree. It's wholesome , natural and life giving.☺️

there is somone like me that appreciates all the infomation that good folks like your self that share thank you again buddy

This video was a trip. I have never been so pleasantly surprised on yt. I agree with others that the style and presentation was weird but the content was fab

Thanks for the yummy deets! Let's seee how far we can go with all these events unfolding, and has yet to come... Cheers!

I really enjoyed this video, especially since I am building a thermal Mass greenhouse in Colorado, using tire bales as thermal battery. Thanks again I learned a lot, and might incorporate a couple of these ideas into mine

Sir, you are providing us with golden information. I just want to thank you !

This was great. Thanks for including a variety of techniques. I am definitely checking out St Isodores channel. LDS Prepper had come up on a coupleof my other searched and you are collect about his techniques. I love his greenhouse design.

Thanks for making this. It really helps guiding me as I gk about learning to make a four season greenhouse

great stuff.. A couple of these are new to me, so thank you.

Peace and love 2 years later, thank you!

Thank you, this is great. Thanks for the links.

Very handy collection of videos and this one especially - nice job!

Thank you for your end comments. I fully agree. Keep up the great content!

Citrus in the snow! Definitely#1. The way to go if back fitting a greenhouse. Otherwise, dig under the greenhouse is so smart.

Thank you so much for all your videos. I learn as much as I can from them. Thanks for mentioning Russ Finch and all the others. I have been watching them also.

Thanks for the video, I found green house in the snow some years ago and wanted to use it along with some type of tiny earth ship home but got shot down, LOL parents wanted me to have what they called a normal house. Wait till they see the addition going on to the basement.

Fantastic information and technology on your KZfaq videos buddy, keep up your great tutorials

Best review so far. Hats off to you. Thank you for this.

Inspiring. Can't wait to put Citrus in the Snow on after the kids go down tonight.

I grew up just down the road from Russ Finch. He's an OG and I definitely want to build one!

New video to me, great content. Thank you.

Excellent information! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you ✌🏼many blessings

I really like the "A different way" Walpini tour. Also I find it interesting that I have yet to see a video on using waste heat from septic tank

This was great - thank you. My husband and I wanted to create a climate battery greenhouse. I had not yet gotten to the point of figuring out exactly what or how. He died three months ago, and now I'm not sure whether to continue with this idea or not. He would have been my builder. So, now I'm back to figuring out what is even possible for me on my own, both cost and skills-wise. Thank you for this overview of several fairly affordable ones and good channels to continue researching.

Nice, thanks

Once again you ‘crushed’ it😅! Your window into climate battery greenhousers can help so many out there that have the desire to create a wonderful greenhouse. Would you consider exploring a cost and labor effective way to utilize large amounts of wood chips as heating compost for a greenhouse? Lots of access to free truckloads of chipped trees! Thanks again!

Wow! these projects are amazing! You were right, the ai suggested me well

Thank you for your videos, I am learning a lot.

Enjoyed the review. I'm building one this summer and am using the Rob Avis's program with Verge.

Great content!

Really great video from man who i'd to find out the best way to use a perfect greenhouse. Thanks a lot. Very interesting!

Thanks much!

I love this idea...one day I will try it 👍👍

Thnx for the info...subbed

Thank you !

Congratulations for this excellent review!

Agreed...knowledge is the key..mikmaq would b pleased with your efforts..wonderful ideas guys..

I agree with your pet peeve at the end. We are a small farm and sell meat and produce to local customers. Some farmers refuse to sell to some customers due to religious preferences on how the meat is prepared. I’ve allowed those customers to practice their rituals and found them enlightening and respectful to the livestock. No one objects to how we harvest produce, but we do get criticized for doing livestock and produce.

I am going to watch all the channels you recommended.

Thank you for sharing all this information with links so we can research and see what works best for where we live and the size of lot or acreage we have. I live in Canada where winters are very cold in some parts. I live in an area where average lows are (in F): Nov: 18; Dec: 3.2; Jan: -5; Feb: 23 and Mar 32. Frost line is 4 - 5 ft - and as much as 8 ft in bitterly cold winters, deep enough to burst city water lines (2014 major damage). Curtis Stone is lucky to live in Kelowna where winters are much milder (Nov - Mar avg between 21 F - 36 F) therefore more shallow frost line. Here we would have to dig at least 6 ft for an underground heat storage system. And how can anyone hit the dislike rating on this or any of your other videos???!!!!

Central Rocky Mountain Permiculture Institute, CRMPI for short. It's really cool to see in person. Growing at that elevation is really a challenge for many reasons.

Very interesting and promising system you have. we are building this spring... hopefully.. we are thinking about a greenhouse. I hope you made a best suggestions video.

Thanks 🙏🏻🙌🏻🌞🌞

The digging with a hoe remark was out of line; Can you do more of that. tHanks for the fun video! I've got my shovel and I'm off to get started!

I really enjoyed the video

Thank you for good info, and for your comments on what does religion have to do with climate battery greenhouses. I agree with you.

I've talked with Russ on the phone about 5 yrs ago. Great guy. He is a tinkerer like us. I live in Kansas City area and thought I could just drive up to visit but he is almost to Wyoming ha ha. My ground temp here in 56-7F/13.3C about 8 feet down so I bought the CD but still haven't moved to the country yet. The biggest problem I have witnessed on KZfaq on variations of these are when when people move away from Russ's I never see a follow up videos from them. I don't know why this is. I know from my conversations with Russ he has tried virtually *everything* and if something worked better, he would have gone in that direction. A big issue is when you place a lot of turns in your underground tubing. That slows down the air considerably. I think he said he only had 2 or 3 in his entire system. I think what is missing are actual temperature and windspeed sensors down in the ground to see exactly what happens in many-bend systems. Also, intrigued from your underground a/c video, I was wondering, are there larger dia. smooth tubes that you used for your a/c idea for this application and heat? Re: LDS prepper-yes styrofoam only type of solid insulation recommended for greenhouses from my research. It is such a humid environment I liken it more to a marine environment. Everything will rust or get soggy eventually. Also, before I forget, there is a product out of Colorado that you put on in the inside of your north wall that absorbs heat in the day and releases it at night. I forget what it is called.

Bringing up the dumb comments was a necessity, Very well said.

nice work Sir ;-))

This it very cool video thanks for making it.

These are all great earth batteries with large budgets. For those of us with more modest size normal greenhouses, I have a solution. Yes insulate that north wall. Also as sand batteries have become news worth over the last few months, it's the same idea so I dug a hole in my greenhouse 4 feet square and 10 feet deep. Insulated it then filled it with sand and air tubes and covered it. with the same idea as the fancy ones, a fan takes hot air from top of greenhouse where it's hottest and pumps it into the sand to charge it, then when the temps drop at night it works the opposite way. I built mine for around 350 dollars and most of that was on the sand and insulation. It works great.

Great video, but I was expecting 5 different types of Greenhouse Climate Batteries. What do people do for greenhouses in areas with shallow bedrock, etc? I like the idea of digging down and blowing air, but I've seen several people utilize black heat-absorbing beds, floors, solar hose arrays, and aquaponic tanks to act as heat sinks.

Jerome Osenrowski With CRMPI Central Rocky Mtn Permaculture Institute has a sweet greenhouse and forest garden tour on a Forking Truth video. A must see.

Oranges in the snow is amazing!

Howdy! I've been tinkering with the idea of having a modified sterling engine (using neod mags. and liquid oxygen/nitrogen, plus the added feature of a liquid battery for its heat generation/power storage). If the vehicles we use are made to function on specific *rails (multiple lanes, which can be automated and/or custom controlled - at specific points). The rails would act with both liquid oxy/nitro and neodymium, one of the means of propulsion. Air pressure - collection from the nose tip. To then be utilized with fans and other volatile chemists that react to other factors. - Floor battery: sterling engine, transportation of liq oxy/nitr - which transfers the additional cooler temp [can have rotational statuses of sending heat or cold - for seasonal changes of different locations/area/zone. - Liq oxy/nitr - utilized for any aspect of bringing more bliss to stay others want to do (craft, service, farming, education that works/the 'pure child-like excitement' of something new and that draws you to want to do more... lol) - Maintenance dues: via donations/volunteers and/or very low cost to everyone that uses this service. - Also having a test area for - Algae farming for biofuel potential... (which we would need a bunch of people to man the ship... lol). And stretch that out for everyone and companies to be able to generate their own biofuel and other products and/or have a 'collector'. - I wonder if the liquid battery - the heat generated - be able to smelt... be it from super- capacitors used as arcs... lol, or some other same way... (both, energy discharging and surface temp - if plug and play avail). - If so, then, placing the smelting mechanisms to the rail system, would generate means of faster output for transforming unused materials and heat transfer - sterling engine. - Which should be able to alternate the temps going either direction. Okay I'll stop here... lol, soo many thoughts and ideas... lol, Cheers!! To a more Utopic society for all! Equally~

thanks very interesting, one thing i wish you would mention is the ruff cost of creating these systems and what kind of income there generating. I realize that that topic is sort of personal and private but ballpark costs / earning would be very encouraging for those thinking of taking on this kind of project!

Nebraska man should try it up here in Alberta, -38c

I have not checked curtis for a while exactly for what you mention.

C'mon ! Curtis Stone is in a warmer growing zone than we are here in west central WI ! :) . Pretty sure he's said he's at least zone 5 , I think it may even be 6 tho ! We're 4 ! A lot of parts of Canada are warmer than a lot of parts of the midwest and upper west USA !

Thank you for this overview which is very informative and offers your generally grateful comments with a few critical jokes thrown in. Thank you for speaking up for people's religious freedom, however the spaghetti monster parody of Michelangelo's Creation of Adam is quite insulting.

righteous

Geothermal batteries. Very primitive, and efficient :)

Great review and I really appreciate your comments at the end. Anyone who’s disparaging someone else’s religion when their videos focus is gardening is insecure in their own faith.

Thank you, I’m off to check out st isadore farms! (I’ve seen all the others 😉)

thank you very much for this list & recaps!! 😍 (it's a pitty that in the end the music is so loud an your voice not loud enough to hear well. maybe also a better microphone would also help.) your videos are awesome! please keep doing that ☺

Very good BUT the snow is a problem to move from the roof...

Hi, thanks a lot for the video, have you ever seen or heard people using solar concentrators to heat air to increase night and day temperature in greenhouse?

a double air-blown poly greenhouse, does it work as an insulator even in the summer, when temperatures goes up 95-100F? Thank you!

Nice to see a face to the voice

For those people who keep nagging you about: "What would Jesus do"? Build a dammm greenhouse!!! Awesome channel, a new subscriber here. Keep em coming while i keep em watching!!

First of all, thank you for the work you are doing. I am planning on building this coming spring just south of Minneapolis. I will already down 4' with my bobcat to dig the hole, so I'm planning on taking a post hole auger and angering another 4' down at the base. Then, I will run those tubes (not looped) into my bottom header that's located at 4'. So I would be pulling from 8' below ground in the winter. Do you see an issue with doing that?

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

You didn't include my favorite. A permaculturist in the Colorado rockies at about 5,000 feet up. He literally has a TROPICAL JUNGLE in one of them.

Great video, thank you! Also the comment on religion is well taken but people do need to approach the issue cautiously. It's a way one can be sucked into cults or extreme religions as one of the goals of cultists is to gain exposure and trust through offering services or knowlege.

My parents are from the Netherlands. Farmers used to build their homes and barns attached to each other. The residual heat would transfer to the house (along with some of the smell ) and if something weird was going on you could hear it. It's the way life was . Could a green house not make use of that? Build a barn on north side have green house built walapini style? Each laying hen for instance produces 10 watts in heat energy. In Canada government allows 2.7 birds per square foot in battery cages. 27 watts 24/7 . Solar panels provide 15 watts at best for a few hours at peak time of day?

Curious. If you put the pipes under your skeptic system. Would it be more efficient?

So I have a question it may have already been answered somewhere I'm sure.. is this something people can or do use this to heat their homes ?

Thanks for the links. I have a question? I live in Kuwait and with respect to all the cold weather thermal batteries videos I’ve seen. Is there a way to use thermal batteries in the desert? We have a man made pond on the farm and I wanted to exchange our abundant amount of heat for the coolness beneath the sands. Is there any resource video done on desert greenhouses? Thanks again and keep the videos coming. - Rick

I agree with your statement about religion!!!

I am in Texas. I am ignorant in this area. It appears you need extremes of cold for this to work. So this would less or not effective in Texas? Maybe freezes a couple of time a year. In summer 90's into the 100's.

Any idea where to find a two stage thermostat that works for a climate battery fan? I setup one last summer and just let it run continuously and it works, but I would like the fan to run off one of those amazon greenhouse thermostats for heating/cooling.. the issue is they're all designed with two outlets for two devices and I just have one big fan.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Very nicely done and a good idea to review these climate battery experts. Thanks. Next concern: The underground drain piping used will build up condensate water and my thoughts are that that could smell or be unhealthy. One certainly needs to know for a fact the water table level before building and digging. Also, what about radon and testing? Question for YOU! What video software do you use, and do you use a green screen to make those really nice background images? There actually is another granddad of thermal battery greenhouses, and it is a private Christian school up in Polebridge, Montana. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ob1pe7agu7zNZnk.html It is at an elevation of 3600 feet and 15 miles from Canada.

Are there any successful designs for an above ground climate battery?? .. like water barrels in a well insulated solar kiln design, perhaps?.. then pushing that heat where needed? .. or maybe a small greehouse within the greenhouse, built around concrete blocks or around barrels full of water that are also being heated by a homemade solar furnace panel full of copper line or pex keeping the water heated?

Could have added the price in your review.

Thank you so much for your comments, on others negative comments, about a KZfaqrs religion. Saying nothing or ignoring this type of thing did not work well in 1930s Germany nor here in the USA at various times in our history. Climate Battery... I didn't notice a mention here about the Chinese style (mass on the north wall. We will use shipping containers that will be filled with sand and actively heat them which is a twist on the earth battery and Chinese methods combined.

Why do people think they have to have music over voice That is a serious brain dead idea People do not want back ground music

I'm not good at research so one thing I want to ask - are the underground pipes empty and only air from greenhouse flows in them or are there a chemical flowing through them like in geothermal heat pump? and what kind of material if preferable for pipes - plastic or metal?

Great video love the information and appreciate your perspective on religion

Hi bro 😎 nice video, would love to hear what you think about our Greenhouse build just outside the coldest capital city in the world in Mongolia 🇲🇳 would love to chat more.

Unless you are in qld. Then it is hard to grow in summer and easy in winter.

Did anyone else catch the weird hole comment at 7:05???

There’s always the naysayers

Thank you for your videos - I have learned a great deal - and this video is no exception I am a subscriber - and I share many of your videos - so I’m doing what can to support your channel - which supports your livelihood I must say I totally disgusted in your need for the commentary @ approximately 6:57min. Why did you feel the need to say something like that? I was propelled to make this comment because you didn’t have a problem with commenting on some of the YT channels you are highlighting like channels that say YT does not pay them enough - or mentioning engineering degrees - or others sharing religious ideas/positioning I do not expect an answer - you were probably just having a little fun - but fun at whose expense? Maybe it was something else entirely. I will continue to watch your videos as well as sharing them. But now I know there is a maladaptive seed within you. Hopefully you are not married - or have daughters. This is the harshest comment I have ever made on YT I thank you if you have made it this far in my comment I am grateful that I am writing this to a face - rather than a voice - so thank you for showing yourself.

#2 same problem is the snow...

I think David Gilmore is a guitarist….

I’m wondering if the religious comments were primarily on LDS Prepper’s videos... LDS stands for Latter Day Saints, as in the church of. It doesn’t make it right to attack them, but it’s at least worth mentioning that they put it out there and had to know that mentioning anything related to being Mormon was going to be somewhat polarizing...especially to people who have left that church...

In most cases, I agree about the religion of the youtuber not mattering in terms of the helpful content of the vid. That said, there are some religious people who misrepresent their personal beliefs as science, and that DOES effect the validity of the content of the vid. Happens less in gardening vids, but I'd be shocked if it never happens in gardening vids.
