vue - What Type of Greenhouse Should You Build?

1. I am in upstate New York (in the snow belt) I want to grow all year round. I also live off grid so I need to heat withought power. do you have any suggestions?
2. they should make a chinese greenhouse that curves outwards.
3. Please check your positioning information for best efficiency of greenhouses. Allowing one long side to face the south you catch more of the sun's energy!! That is the entire point! Talk about using the soil beneath the greenhouse versus pots. How to make raised beds without sides, how to build up soil using DECOMPOSED organic matter...rocket stoves for heat. Heat sinks. Size of human walkways to allow more bed size. Stop using straight rows for planting seed or starts...more of a broadcast method works better, ventilation!!! Sun rising from the east is wimpy energy that a long side facing east would not have much energy. Sun setting in the west the same You want a long side to face south. Axis East/West.
4. Gutter connect is INSANE. Makes no sense at all!!
5. Now I am confused. You've got this greenhouse long axis North and South. So just one end gets the southern light. I am pretty sure this is very wrong. Lots of good stuff. You should go into the skins in more detail. Also, if a greenhouse is artificially heated snow sloughs off quickly. It is a truth and I'm kinda a part of the growing plants world. Axis is East West. One long side gets to catch a lot of energy that can be managed and distributed. North wall is super to create heat sinks.
6. my hidroponic garden is on rooftop that very very hot, daily average in summer is about 32 degree C about 89 in fahrenheit, i'm growing lettuce in it i cover my greenhouse with paranet but they all bolting high, what i'm suppose to do?
7. Couldn't the barrels hold water and function as a heatsink and radiator at night...? 19:20
8. So what's the purpose of type 1 when I can't use it in winter? In summer and spring I really don't need it. I'm new to this stuff so be gentle in a reply, thank you.
9. Good overview of greenhouse types. Answer of what type is for you is "depends." Zone, wind exposure, budget, long term goals, etc. all play a factor as you have outlined here. We went with a 2V geodesic dome, 22' in diameter, using the high tech bubble film called solawrap here in the states (made in Germany) for the cover. The large triangles of the 2V were able to minimize waste of the 2m wide solawrap,. We we also able to cover 4 triangles with one run of the material. North wall is insulated with Reflectix, and we have a ground to air heat transfer system (GAHT) with tubing buried 3-4' under the dome to stabilize the temperature. It was 17 degrees outside this morning, and dome interior is 34 degrees.
10. Thank you. Very informative.
11. how do you go about lining a geodesic green house. Seems like you have to get really crafty! And have you any experience with geodesic hybrid houses?
12. 22:31 "Moo" Hahaha!! Brilliant, loved that.
13. in the nicest way possible, love the info, loved the video... but do you know who Bubba Jay is? from Jeff Dunham comedy show? without the excessivness of the character, id say he looks like you o_0
14. The barrels will exchange heat with the interior whether or not they are in line of sight with the sun. Thermal mass in general helps to moderate temperature in both summer and winter.
15. I just want a greenhouse to save kale plants for seed collection and to start plants in the spring. I kinda want an easy hoop and I will support it cuz I don't need much growing room just to start seeds and save a few plants for seed collection really.
16. Really great information....thanks a lot
17. lurnd more about greenhouses in25 min than after 2 yers in gardeningscool. thanks.
18. Could you not use solar tubes used with liquid metal to heat your green house?
