Nice work!!!!

Very nice video and great ideas! We just completed assembling ours. What is the height of your work table? Oh and I just subscribed to your channel and joined the FB group! From Minnesota!Thanks!

Why not multi sow onions, super easy to separate and saves a lot of time. I put like 100-200 in like half a tray

Can you use silicone caulk when installing panels

We bought the same one- do you have trouble keeping your doors on? Ours pop off randomly at the top rollers😢

I loved this video, you have a natural talent for teaching. I've watched dozens of other videos on this topic and you really explained the thought process behind choosing a soil block or plug tray. The information you shared is so valuable I subscribed. Please do a follow up with more info on seed starting, blocks, trays, watering, lighting, etc. That would be extremely helpful.

Enjoy the journey! Just subscribed. Butch in Idaho.

Hello from my homestead in northwest Florida zone 8b. This was such a nice informative enjoyable video. I hope you are doing well, how did the greenhouse do for you this February 2024?

Amazing video. I especially liked how thoroughly you showed all of your different pot sizes, where you got them, and the different plants you use each of them for. That was incredibly helpful.

Bonjour , petit truc pour conserver les sachets: une valise en plastique où il y a d’autres petites boîtes à l’intérieur. C’est parfait pour savoir quand semer et…les conserver hors de l’humidité! 😊 J’ai installé des lumières afin d’améliorer l’éclairage lors des journées d’ombre. Bonne culture!

Hello I’m 7b also but I’m in Washington State. Can you make a pinned comment of when you start your seeds indoor please? It would be extremely helpful others in our zone. I see you have Hollyhock and Rubeckia and have some others already going from seed. I have the Cool Flowers book and am aware of planting out early for certain varieties, but I wasn’t aware that it was time to start some of those seeds you currently already have going. Thank you for your knowledge.

I have found that not starting different varieties in the same trays is a good practice. Seeds sprout at different rates, even within colors of the same variety of flowers. Then they can be promptly pulled from the heat mat after sprouting.

For your heated seed flats , on top of your heat mat, put another flat on top full of sand. Then the actual seed starting flat. It will act as a heat " battery" and keep a more even temperature , with the advantage of holding heat for a period of time should the power happen to go out . When i was in college for my hort degree this is how the campus Greenhouse was operated. You can also add a timed mist system for seed starting.

What you keep calling elbows are referred to as braces .

Good idea for the panel reinforcement self tappers. Id add a fender washer for more holding power.

Nice video. I am just setting up my first greenhouse and trying to figure out how to heat it. Your heater lights are flashing, but our eyes can't see it. Iphones capture video at 24fps so it makes it look like they are flashing in a video.

Go buy some white lithium, grease, and apply it along the rail where the wheels roll. Make sure it has a low temperature rating for winter, apply it not too thick, so it doesn’t come up. That will make a big difference for your doors. You will have to put a little on once or twice a year but you’ll be very happy with the results.

LOVE THIS VIDEO! Thanks for all the tips! You did a GREAT job ❤

I have had this greenhouse and it is pretty beat up after 3 years.

They make a regulator for those vent windows in the ceiling it opens them automatically and closes them depending on the temperature

Try putting a silicone sealant around each side of your panels. I find that Mastic or a roof and gutter type are the best. I hope this helps...

*promosm* 😆

Good job on your greenhouse build. I have a similar smaller one on the way for my cacti. I will use the tech screws as well. I purchased concrete pavers for the floor. I think I will drill into these with a masonry drill bit, and screw the greenhouse down to the floor. Good idea on sealing up the ends of the coreflute panels to stop dirt. Thanks.

Appreciate the ideas & source material very much

Well after I recycled the bulk of the aluminum frame I got less than 30.00 minus the door frames and a few pieces of frame I found in the snow.. But it turned into a 3500 insurance claim Reinvest in 450. In rough sawn lumber Complete rebuilding in a day purchased real polycarbonate panels for the roof both sides, and steel wall to the north I lined the back west wall with the old panels the south wall and front other than door, lined the inside of the south wall to double layer. I'm going to Rockwool the north wall and put black steel over that. I had already installed 4.5" of insulation for the floor covered with #2 stone prior to the storm. I'm ready for pavers and water & electric. I'm going to use the door panels for the new door & use the rest of the smaller ones for the inside of the front. I cut 7" wide strips out of panels to cover the joints and bent over them to make outside corners for the roof and 4 corners. So far so good nothing blown away yet since September and still have to build the tables and grid the east inside wall I'm going to use polycarbonate panels for that then it's layered inside & out no blower needed.

New friend . Nice work. .

Mine lasted, 97 days before the second 50 mph winds crushed it to the ground

Shade cloths are really great. There are different degrees of cloths, 10%, 20% etc I used a medium shade cloth over my green peppers last year and my crop lasted 4 weeks longer than my neighbors. I processed a lot of green peppers.

Shade cloth on the roof will help with the amount of heat in the greenhouse during the summer.

I just received my Fiskars soil blocker today. It's plastic so was only $20 (and did have good reviews). I wanted to try it out first and if I like it invest in the metal ones. I used those biodegradable pots for things like sunflowers before but they dry out SO fast.

If my math is correct between those heating pads and heater you are running close to 2,000watts at 110v that’s about 18 amps and that extension cord looks like a normal one which are usually only rated for 15 amps. I would look into this and check my assumptions, don’t want to cause a fire or something.

Nice video, good suggestions & tips. I’m installing a greenhouse from a different company this spring. My specific question is “What weed block fabric did you use for the floor?”.

Great video again! started researching the soil blocks and getting some after watching you and a few others. Thanks for the information.

I really appreciate this content. Your perspective is meeting me where I need to be stretched in my story of being a gardener. You just experienced exactly what I have pondered. Thank you for sharing with me. Your presentation is relatable and professional.

We have HF in KERRVILLE, TX. Hill Country. Good Video 💚💚💚💚 💚💚💚💚💚💚 ⭐️ STRAIGHT OUTTA TEXAS

A very practical video. Thank you!

Great video - thanks! Once again, very informative and appreciated. Third year with soil blocks and I’m learning some lessons the hard way (like overwatering). I do like soil blocks and the convenience of them and do use some plastic containers as needed when potting up. My plant’s overall are much happier and healthy during transplanting. PS: Don’t bother responding, I’m sure you’ve got better things to do.

There's no way this thing can withstand accumulations of snow in the winter. I think people that live in the north will have roof panels caving in from the weight of the snow. Might want to overlay a large piece of plastic or tarp over the roof for the winter months in the north.

I've owned my 10x12 HF for over 10 years now. It was anchored down to an existing concrete pad to prevent it blowing away. Over time, the base that is only made of metal, not aluminum, rusts away, and the poly panels become brittle and break. They will also fade and become a cloudy yellow, but it served its purpose for about 8 years before I had to put money back into it. It's generally too hot to use in the summer in my zone 5b/6a, but works fine the rest of the year. If the sun is creating too much heat inside (spring/fall), I pull the shade cloth that is suspended inside on vinyl-coated clothesline wire to reduce the temp. along with venting. Being heated with a blue flame ventless heater in the winter melts the snow on top and prevents heavy snow loads from crushing it. Have fun with yours.

I have the exact same one and I'm in zone 6. We got a heavy wet snow and it totally crushed the roof. We did frame up the sides and they help up but we didn't frame the roof. Our mistake. But I do think if we had it would have been fine but the metal is so cheap that the doors are crap. Hope your does well.

My late husband & I bought & constructed one of the 6x8 HF greenhouses. I love it.

Where can I get a a high quality soil block mold. Do you make your own?

Great video... Nice sharing... 👍👍👍👍

useless in high winds this kit

Awesome look forward to learning more about your experiences !

Heat mats will only give you a 10 degree boost , they are working perfectly as you mentioned they are always showing a 10 degree difference compared to the air temp. thanks for the tour!

Nice to see a local, I am in Mechanicsville.

Very good video! I'm looking forward to watching your progress and learning from you. Good luck!

I do believe you are a natural at this.
