  1. that is a very beautiful greenhouse 🙂 i want to have one similar to this one day, not necessarily for food production, but simply for growing nice plants and spending a lot of time outside

  2. You can't store any more heat underground because you limited your thermal storage by putting insulation underneath. If you had left it open below, you could have driven more heat deeper into the earth for even more storage.

  3. Many thanks again and again for sharing. any tips for such a greenhouse in a Mediterranean climate (Palestine)? that would also include Aquaponics. any major things to make different? like aspect, ventilation, materials, size, or other design interventions. thanks in advance.

  4. The greenhouse framing looks like 4×8 timber to hold up polytarp. Engineers shouldn't be in the business of over-engineering stuff. You want smart engineering. Your greenhouse framing could have been built with 2×4's with some bracing.

  5. Thanks Curtis, Excellent video where did you buy your greenhouse products from. Did you use SIPS for your back wall? Have you thought of putting a vestibule at the doors for the winter time (cold shock).

  6. I'm building a smaller 20×10 passive solar green house right now. I'm jealous of your setup. Great job. Using earth bags on the south side to help with solar retention.

  7. Getting ready to break ground on an earthship using concrete block. Have to build it in three 24×32 sections. Half will be block and living area. Plan on building a masonry stove too. The planter boxes in the greenhouse area is a bonus to me. Made plans to be able to grow 12ft/4m tall plants. I am using 4×6 southern yellow #2 on 2 foot centers. Using fiberglass rebar too.

  8. Don't apologize for not being done. Heck, most of us want to see every stage, anyway, including the false starts!

    And while it's tradition to outline what you're going to talk about before you talk about it, then give your talk, then summarize your talk – at least in education circles – I'm more of a "Let's dive right in!" without even wasting time to say "Let's dive right in!" Just "SPLASH!"

    It's not that I don't believe in scaffolding knowledge, properly. But as a daily lecturer, we all know what went before – or SHOULD – and the gold is what's NEW! Don't remember what we did last time? See previous recording! But we ain't gonna take 15 minutes for the laggards and get in the way of the gung-ho!

    Not sayin' ya wasted 15 minutes. And you probably reach a broader audience by being more deliberate. I, myself, am like "Quick Carl" in the Marathon Bar commercial, who learns to slow down and take it in
