First Zelda appearance in a vid, yes? She’s so perfect! Great work, Sasha! ❤

Little Zelda is beautiful and has grown so much. She looks like she is thriving! I love seeing little peeks of her from time to time. Always happy to learn more greenhouse strategies from you all.

Thank you for all the great work you are doing! Always a fountain of ideas and great vibes.

I love this channel. Y'all are inspiring

I can't wait to see this play out. I'm very interested.

That DC fan should last quite a while. Use to use them on racecar brake ducting decades ago; they're pretty tough. If the blade pops off, glue it back on with some epoxy after drilling a relief hole on the nose cone.

I’ve been thinking about doing this in one of my tunnels for some time, this is great that you just got it done! I have really wanted to dig down on the sides of the tunnel and bury insulation so the whole ground becomes heat mass and doesn’t conduct heat away in winter. Apparently that can essentially turn you Mediterranean with no other heat. But I hade rigid foam…I wonder about hempcrete or some other form of insulation that could be buried. Also, heck yeah on chickweed! Highest mineral density green out there!

I like the greenhouse setup! I hope to build a sunken greenhouse in the next year or so...

This is exactly what im doing with my greenhouse right now!!!

Very interesting video. I find thermodynamics fascinating.

Nice concept hope it works well for you. Cheers

Wonderful video as always. Loved seeing all the folks in your circle. Is the perennial kale the same as tree collards? I wish I was more versed in the wild edibles. I know I could be using them but I'm just not confident enough yet to do so.

Sasha is a super woman! I know how it is carrying a baby around!💕

You guys might want to take turns with that harness. I'll try to think of a covering you can also put on prior which will shield from anything dirty but also be comfortable in the weather; mesh usually works well

I would really love to hear how your version of the climate battery is working. I was considering doing it myself with a similar hoops house but I always thought it wouldn’t work effectively because greenhouses I’ve read that use this system have
1) insulation underground around the perimeter and below the soil to stop the heat being pulled into the ground.
2) are built with a fully insulated north side
3) don’t have a poly cover which I hear is not able to hold in Infrared Radiation.

Does it at least work for lowering noon temps if not also for warming at night? I’m at 8, 000’ in Colorado and currently get 120F days temps down to 30’s at night.
How has it worked!!!?

As a fan of Charles Dowding, that green house is a disgusting mess, harboring pests, and not very productive. I hope others don’t think this is normal for a greenhouse. OK everybody tell me what a hole I am.
