@@silversage03 we are a brand new channel learning the ropes of TH-cam. 40 new videos in the vaults to release soon. Thanks so much for watching.

@@kccorliss3922 good because I have 40 videos already made yet to release. The next one heating greenhouses with inside black walls of water. 😊👍🔥

I've seen a handful of people heat their greenhouses in different ways with compost, but it's a compost pile in the back corner inside of their greenhouse, or it's some intricate set of tubes with a massive pile outside to cycle air

@ awesome comments. Lots of very smart minds trying to tackle the dream of passively heating a greenhouse inexpensively. Our next video will focus on our black water walls inside that add extra heat and heat.

@@kccorliss3922 "EarthDwellers Homestead" used the compost system outside with tubes & fans to cycle the air, and "Edible Acres" put his compost inside of his greenhouse... It might have been a chicken greenhouse, but Midgley's Hobbit Greenhouse looks to be the best, unless you're going to spend tens of thousands of dollars to make a wallapini / sunken greenhouse...

@@Dan___R4 you as well. Thanks so much for watching. We have more videos like this one coming really soon.

Thanks for watching.

@@MsLbraun absolutely work great. Just have to adjust the seasons a bit to your colder climate and grow tomato varieties like Oregon spring and Siberia.

Hey friends. This is zone 6 West part of Syracuse Utah on the great salt lake bay. The warmer parts of the Salt Lake Valley are a zone 7 and 7b. This is a colder low lying spot.

We didn’t this year but usually run a tractor through a couple of times a year to add more Woodchips to the existing mulch layer. Thanks so much for watching.

@@RandySloan-i2t we have 20 times more fruit this year. Will have some awesome new winter videos to come. Thanks for watching.

@@shellitrung thanks for watching.

call me crazy...wouldn't you have a problem with that anyway in certain areas...because, trees are wood. i understand how more wood would possibly be worse,but if you're in those areas idk how much it'd change, just difference in quantity of wood.

Not impossible. Just lots of work.

@@monacurran6396 have only sprayed them once to keep worms out of peaches. For the last decade we haven’t.

Are you the famous Dan Owens on Utah Gardeners ?

@chadsproduce I wish I was Dan Owens.😉 But I am Dan of Washington state... Dan of "obsessed with farming citrus in Washington"... Dan of "my wife and I are obsessed with the "Chad Method" as we call it. We will start building our "Pacific Northwest Hobbit-Ship" Composot House in a few months. 😁

@ I LOVE this. The citrus will absolutely love the weather in Washington. We will be releasing a great follow up video in the next two days that shows are huge Black Water Walls that heat these greenhouses.

@chadsproduce keep the videos coming. We are learning. Thank you for the effort in spreading the word of the "Chad Method." 🙏🙏🙏

@ I changed my name to the Mad Scientist Farmer over The Rockstar Farmer. Which name do you like best ?

Washington state viewers would like to learn more about the nuances of adding supplimental light in winter.

@@Wigington24 I counted 30 videos that I have in the vaults to release. The indoor growing is one of them 😀

@@chadsproduce Do you need to buy any fertilizer for your trees? Or do the wood chips give them all they need? thanks

I believe the entire farm and backyard should be a working compost pile. We are a drop off spot for Woodchips, leaves and grass. New videos will illustrate what we do with the leaves to harvest vegetables all winter.

@@chadsproduce thanks Chad! I appreciate your videos and the knowledge you share I will be planting trees next spring! I love your method, one of the best and off grid friendly, unlike many other designs that require a large amount of electricity!

@@chadsproduce how can I PM you to get on the waiting list? I would ideally like to come visit next spring or fall. Cheers from Vernal!

@ do you know Dr Bruce Daniels in vernal? He taught me how to grow citrus in Utah. He has a citrus orchard like mine off his house. PM me on Facebook. Chads Midgley. Thanks.

@@chadsproduce so you must be close to a large city? I am having a very hard time getting any wood chips. We have tried for YEARS now! Some lumber yards want $30 for a pickup truck of sawdust and we have to do our own loading!

@@emilymimikos4756 I will have a video out tomorrow morning going over this more in detail. This video will do both. You get great insulation with it on the outside.

@chadsproduce thanks so much for your response! Looking forward to watching the video. 😁

@@emilymimikos4756 just released now. Let me know what you think. Is a Part 1.

@@chadsproduce really great. It's helping me brainstorm how to apply it to our setup. I'm Thinking about using our wiggle wire to create a plastic "wing" on the north side of the greenhouse with wood chips/compost underneath and then black, plastic bags inside the greenhouse full of leaves. 🤔

@ awesome ideas. I love it. This is just part 1. Just finished video taping part 2. Thanks for watching.

@@rjaquaponics9266 I saw a setup like this yesterday in Hennifer Utah. Mind blowing awesome. Tell me more…

@@sarahpauline4904 good question. We have 20 hobbit hole greenhouses on five farms in metro Salt Lake Wasatch Front of almost three million people. Utah has a catch and release program to encourage cat adoption of feral kitties. Works like magic and each farm has at least one kitty. They are all fixed and become tame like pets. No mice 🐭 have never seen a snake inside these devices. Before the kitties we had issues and had to use poison which they don’t even make any longer.

We haven’t ever been in this situation with a greenhouse quadruple covered. Usually the fruits and leaves hold into December if the greenhouse is decent. Crossing fingers.

@@austintrees in my experience growing Bountiful Utah is the best area to grow in. Incredible soil and warmer climate. What zone are you in ? Ohio zone?

@chadsproduce formerly 5b, but the update changed us to 6a, we are in the tiny area of central northwestern Ohio that fell into 5b, only difference we saw is that the snow didn't melt as fast as the lower elevations surrounding us.

@@austintreesyour probably very similar to us. We just don’t get the Arctic plunges that you get. You could be warmer than us if we don’t factor that in.

Are the figs self-polinated?

@WaldemarSzmuro I believe most figs are, the figs that we grow in the United States aren't the ones that are pollinated by a wasp going inside. They're technically a flower that is inverted I believe... There are people who inject pollen into the insides of the fig in order to cross pollinate so that they can get a new type of fig from the seed. Check out Ross Raddi for deep fig knowledge, there's also a group called Texas fig growers I believe... They're known for having a couple thousand different varieties, and traveling around and stopping to take a cutting when they find one growing wild.

@@WaldemarSzmuro paint brushes and happy 🐝 bees that live next door at a certified honey farm. Thanks for watching.

@@Marygholland we get the pipes opened once a week from June to October. After that this is a total off grid property with no services.

@@bradhafichuk my warmest greenhouse I have is surrounded by 4x4 bales of straw and inside grow beds made out of tons of bags of hot grass clippings (donated ) with soil on top. Keeps it toasty warm. Whatever you decide will help you and allow growing things you never deemed possible. Would start with figs, pomegranates and hardy citrus like kumquats.

@@weareteamreed6287 it will for sure help you grow something there.

@@arrhythmia100 thanks. Rooted in bare soil and we keep adding amendments

@@anitaperdue8494 stay tuned my best videos coming out really soon. Thanks for watching.

@@gaetanproductions check out my video entitled something like the most efficient greenhouses at 106 degrees. We showcase its cooler inside even with the plastic.

@chadsproduce ok will do, thanks

@@CasteelGardens have this documented on video. Facebook chads Midgley. We made thousands on donut peaches at the farmers market this year from the greenhouses. Documented this on video.

@chadsproduce do you have a link? You have a LOT of videos!!

@ facebook.com/share/r/WbNSqwFZK4sJpHCm/?mibextid=14AR8G. This doesn’t include the citrus we get or the thousands we make on agritourism showcasing the Intermountain wests largest in ground citrus trees at our Farm Tours. Enjoy !

@@taylormatthie7864 good comment. They are the master farmers of all 😀

@@ajsassafrass6883 we have a few feral kitties on the farm which are fixed. Never a mouse 🐭 problem ever thanks to them.

@@ajsassafrass6883 we are working on this and documenting it weekly. Updating all of our greenhouses right now for upcoming farm tours. 😀. Awesome comment makes me smile.

@@chadsproduce I'll be looking for a farm tour! 🎉

@@waykone thank you 😊. Wait until you see our new content coming soon in 4k 😀😃

@@MsLbraun all about variety. Look for a day neutral Everbearing for bigger strawberries. Like seascape.
