Now that you've seen Chris' full greenhouse, what greenhouse growing topics should we cover next?
I was already following Chris on Instagram so I glad she is part of the team. There are allot of great ideas here for most of us in lower zones. Thanks for this great and useful video.
Love u Kevin but we want more of Chris lol… Chris u should have a channel too 🙂
Price???
Kinda curious, but does the corrugated panes help decrease bird strikes? Always what I wondered with greenhouses.
What aboot longevity of the greenhoose?
Does anyone else feel like this is a bit of a bait and switch?
Nice informative video but thought I was going to see Kevin.
I used marine ply as the bench tops, as once painted, water runs off.
I love the long greenhouse tour with not a huge footprint!
I didn't think of using a min max thermometer. Any idea who makes that one and where to get it?
I'm building a sunroom/greenhouse this year and your shelving idea is something I hadn't thought of. I'll be adding some shelves now. Thanks for the inspiration.
Beautiful greenhouse !
She’s so awesome
love the place, Bamboo works great around water as well
Kevin, Chris is a wonderful addition to your team, as is Jacques.
Chris is like having a reporter on-site….well done! Getting a tour of how these are used is a rare treat. Thank you!
Yea get the shade cloth. It’s worth it.
Lots of good practical choices and ideas. Great info.
I think it would cool to see videos on what you’re currently planting/starting in your home garden. As a new gardener, I’m trying to figure what I can grow with this hot weather approaching. I’m also in zone 10b but on the opposite coast.
This is the most thorough explanation I've seen on a hobby greenhouse. Chris is doing an amazing job!!! Thanks Kevin!
Very comprehensive explanation. Excellent, practical tips!
Cool video! I love the style of the greenhouse. Not that she'd want this but could she have 2 small greenhouses to meet the size limits instead of getting a permit?
"As big as I could go without a permit" was my limit as well. So I wanted a 10' x 26' but had to stop at 20'. Additionally, we are limited to "2 outbuildings" so I can't even get away with a tool shed. There's rules and then there's silliness and I think our city has crossed the line somewhat for gardeners.
Look at those sexy Epic 6-cell trays!
Have you considered a mini-split system for your greenhouse? They seem to be pretty energy efficient and might make it easier to maintain a consistent climate, especially for research projects and your subtropicals. (Kevin will probably beat you to it now that I've put it out there. LOL)
Incredible set up, the green house is so cute too everything looks easy to work in and so loved what a beautiful space for gardening, thanks for the video owesome stuff
Great video! Chris is an amazing addition to the epic team. Her videos are especially helpful for me in central europe as we are growing in the same climate zone.
What does the electricity end up costing to heat the greenhouse in the winter? Space heaters use a lot of power!
i wish i had a garden or money for such greenhouse.. sad that its all that expensive.. fucking germany… dang!
well played there miss
Nice GH. Wish I could get 1
