My experience with passive solar was that keeping humidity high and stable was THE biggest factor in reducing temperature swings.

@@caddad49 ids solve that concern.

They will absorb much more energy if they are in line with the sun. Convection is only part of the exchange, radiation from the sun is around 1000watts per square meter(reduced for glazing and angle and reflection)

+William “Bill” Walter It will be in a video, but we're going to level out one of our fields and put the greenhouses there. Rocket stove and wood stove are ready! I"m filming an update video about them this weekend. Probably won't do any more NUTS videos....very low viewing on them...and people keep asking questions that I answer in them anyway! ;-)

+Scott Baker That's pretty cool! It's been getting a lot more views than my other videos so I guess people are liking it. I had a big hit earlier this month from some site called survivopedia.com. ;-)

You do know what shows up in the search bar is based on your algorithm right?

Sorry, but not nicely done. You need to do more extensive research and then recreate this video. You are claiming that pit and solar greenhouses have some big flaws when they do not. The problems you talk about are easily corrected.

@@SSanatobaJR ...The pit one does have a lot of unexpected big flaws, as do they all, for first time green thumbs...which every person on video that I have seen, who has built most any type of green house or tunnel structure of any kind, say they would do differently, to suit their exact requirements, the next time. The pit one, needs a 6 foot pit, to be a true pit, which uses the existing earth as a basis for its structure. Any water that does comes in, can escape via a pipe to the outside, and the warm air, (from being buried 6 or so feet in the ground,)can also flow back up the pipe to the inside and rise to help heat the thing. You put all the dozed out soil, from making the 6 ft deep x say 20 foot long, pit, behind the proposed cold winter wall, and use the east side from the ground up, to maximise the winter sun. The big mistake most make is not digging the deep water escape pipe trench, before they pile up mountains of dirt around it. My cellar, 7 ft down, maintains an all year round temp of 54F...or 12C, so the benefit of the pit sounds a good deal if one has the space...and a bit of a smallish rise in their yard.

great content

Thanks. I get a bunch of comments from people all bent out of shape with this presentation. ;-)

And your concerns with solar greenhouses are addressable too. There is a company in Colorado that is producing large passive solar greenhouses for industry. And their designs do not make heating an issue. You need to do much better research. This is not a good video on all the types of greenhouse because you info is not accurate enough.

why

Glad it was helpful!

Where do people just throw away trampolines? That being said, we found our trampoline in the alley, but that was the only one I ever saw lol.

you're too kind. :)

How do you know he had parents? He could be a foster child.

you can see one of these in Canada: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eraWoLx_s9WRZIk.html. They speak french but this is interesting as you can see the design at least.

I have an in ground greenhouse, 6 feet below grade. The "heat of the earth" idea is not true. It would be true of a pipe you buried that deep, but the glazing(greenhouse plastic) lets heat out faster than the earth could put it in

Glad you enjoyed!

@@Bigelowbrook I've just finishing sketching it all out. I used some charcoal bamboo I made for the first time. And that in itself was great. Thanks for getting back to me and the inspiration.
