- Doug takes us on a mechanical tour of the hydroponic greenhouse and shows all of the heating and cooling systems plus how they are connected into the fully automated iGrow system. We use natural gas heaters, an outdoor wood burner and a water wall for cooling. Doug also shows how he got internet to the head house so we can log in remotely to check the environmentals and the security system. Leave us a comment if you have any questions.

That’s a high tech greenhouse! Your Dad did a superb job. Thanks for showing it to us.
Thank you very much! I will share this comment with him. 💚
YES! A build video would be ideal.
Great video.
There is something of a head scratcher where you have both a wood-fired heating system, and your own natural gas well on the property. Your Dad is obviously so thoughtful in his engineering that understanding why both systems are installed would be an interesting discussion. Thanks in advance for the coming vids.
Thank you so much and we will definitely be doing a greenhouse build soon. The issue with the well is it goes down randomly. Sometimes the there are problems with the well head, or it gets clogged. We've gone a whole winter before with the well down, and it was a lot of work heating the place with wood, but we did it.
@@HomegrownPassion Got it.
Thanks
Wow..!💖
Your Dad's good knowledge building something really complements your Mom's good knowledge in Greenhouse farming!
😱😃😮
Great family, nice tour video...an eye opener, really.
👍👍👍
And Dad have interesting leather work too.😯
Really interesting country living back there.
Thanks! They area great team and have taught me a lot. It's nice having the maintenance man available at all times haha. I might have to make a leather video someday 😊 Hope you have a nice day.
Thank you very much for sharing!Very interesting that you showing all these heating and cooling items.You can now easily go to the farmers market and check the temperature of the greenhouse by remote control! Wish you all a good day! Thanks.
Yes thank you! It is very convenient to check every thing remotely. We have gotten weather alerts a few times while we've been at the market. Especially when it gets hot and sunny. 💚
Yes, yes, yes. We want a detailed video on the greenhouse build. Also maybe videos in detail on the cooling and heating of your systems.
One question is why the wood heat when you have an on farm gas supply? Wood can be a lot of work.
We are definitely going to make one soon. Wood sure is a lot of work, but the issue is the well can be unreliable. Sometimes there are issues with the well head or it gets blocked up, and we always need heat for the greenhouse
Devon your dad has done a wonderful job in integrating the total system. i would be interested in seeing the greenhouse build. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! I will pass this comment along to him and I am still working on the construction video. I'm very thankful every one took pictures and video while we were building, but I have a lot to sort through.
Hello Hi from Egypt! Wow, Thanks so much for showing us around! Definitely looking forward to learning about more greenhouse details! Must have cost an arm and a leg, maybe even a corvette or two over the years! I'm very impressed with the electrical work and the automated weather station, nice organised wiring in the boxes! well done Doug! Also love your mum's growing tips. Thanks again for letting us in Devon !
Thank you so much! I will definitely share this comment with them. We are working on coordinating to film a greenhouse build video soon. 💚 - Devon
Hello from England. I found your site a few weeks ago and am really enjoying the video's. I started growing in hydroponics 6 years ago, outdoor strawberries, tomatoes and cucumbers in the greenhouse in summer, just enough for us and the neighbors with lettuce, rocket, watercress and pea micro green's in the winter. You have given me some great ideas for the future, thank's for the great videos and please keep them coming, regards Carl
Thank you, Carl! Nice to have a friend from across the pond. Sounds like you have great variety in all seasons. Please let me know if you would like to see anything in particular. Have a lovely weekend! - Devon
It’s cool to see another hydroponic greenhouse grower doing it! I’m also a hydroponic greenhouse grower. I’m all strictly lettuce and watercress. I love seeing all the different crops you guys do. That’s amazing how your whole family works together. Keep up all the cool videos! Thanks for what all you guys are doing.
Wow. I can’t imagine the investment that they made in all of that. My systems are mostly manually managed and that was pricey to me. You are always giving me lots to shoot for Devon. I will be upgrading several of our systems within the coming year so I will probably be texting you for tips!👍.
Thanks for the great information.
Chuck and Darlene
It's very nice to have the automated system. The high tunnel isn't automated so Katy is always going back and forth rolling up the sides, or calling Doug while we are at the market to open it up because the sun came out. Text me whenever, and I can relay questions to Doug. Hope you guys have a great week! - Devon
Love the video. I would like to see more content like this.
Thank you and I think now we will make another video soon on the greenhouse structure.
Goals!!! God willing one day ill have a huge greenhouse like yours!!💯🌻
Yes Yes you will! Its all about goals and making plans to get to them. You can do it!!
You are of a truly contagious sympathy! Every time I see one of your videos, the good mood and love for the countryside I have had since I was a child returns! Keep going with your good videos! Too bad I live far away, otherwise I would come to see you! It would be very nice to meet special people like you !!! I hug you tightly! And good sowing and good work dear Devon, Katy, Doug, your husband and little boys !!! Best regards from Italy!
I appreciate this very much, Dave! I will share this comment with them. That would be fun to meet someday, but hopefully we can schedule another live chat and talk on there. I'll get Doug to join us next time. Hope you have a very nice week! 💚 - Devon
Oh my gosh! Fantastic! What an inspiration! This is precisely what I want to do for my farm. Thanks so much for this video. Now I have a model to emulate. Please do a build video and anything related to the build, set up and operation of this wonderfully automated system.
I’m curious how much was the investment set up? Nice place
Excellent video. Great Dad, Precision Greenhouse Modeler, Thanks for showing it to us greenhouse.
Thx for sharing, I can tell Doug put a lot of thought into the design
Of course! They both dreamed about it for many years before they built it 💚
Thank you very much Devon for this video about greenhouse heating and cooling as I asked you last time to show us and now I can see it, wow, how quick you are!👍👍👍God bless you and your family.
Of course, now I think we will make a greenhouse construction video soon! Thank you and God bless 🙏💚
amazing greenhouse
Wow! Your systems are very nice and impressive!
Thank you very much! Dad will appreciate this comment 💚 -Devon
Just subscribed after watching this video. Great work dad, learned a lot today.
What an amazing job you do to tell us this beautiful story, what a family of hard workers!! Thank you for giving us so much knowledge!! Thank you from Norway
Thank you so much! and thank you for supporting us!!!
hello, your Dad did a great job and making it easy for your Mom too. Yes, we would love to see a video on what you built and how you did it! Thanks
Thank you and I am currently working on the build video. I've been working on it all week, my longest video yet!
Enjoyed so much ur dad....more of his technical stuff...please...I find that stuff so interesting...ur parents are both awesome..I see why ur so perfect!!!!
I love how he casually mentions his ONSITE CRUDE PUMPJACK 😁
Amazing videos Devon, stumbled on your videos by accident. I've always dreamed of doing Hydro greenhouse, what an inspiration!
Dean start off small....easy to do...very rewarding and its fun...Just do it....let me know how it goes!!
Definitely interested in seeing how the greenhouse was put together...and your dad can come install my greenhouse any time.
If I show him this he would be interested. He loves to build and I think he would like to build another if Mom wanted one.
@@HomegrownPassion Would he be willing to go to another country to do the work?
This is great video on how your greenhouse runs environmentally. Your Dad is very knowledgeable.
Thank you! He is a great maintenance man.
Great video .. thanks to you Devon & Doug. Very very informative.👍👍👍
Yes, I would love to see a video on how your dad built the green house and the cost of building new ones.
Dont forget also a video on your dad's working on his leathers. And everything about it. 😊🤩
Thanks! Seems like there is a bit of interest in seeing the construction, so we are planning to do that soon. I'll have to do a leather video too eventually 😊😁💚 - Devon
It is so fantastic. Great job.
Thank you very much!
Thank you for taking your time to make this highly useful video. I shared this with my college class on Greenhouse Technician program, and everyone found it very helpful to get a better understanding of climate control automation being implemented in the greenhouse.
Thats great. So glad you were able to use it. If you want to see anything else let me know and ill send out mre information for you
thanks for the great video! your Dad could make a small fortune consulting for others wanting to get all set up quickly with well designed systems! Thanks for sharing!
Yes he really is good at DIY projects and figuring out problems. If he's not working on something, he's at least thinking or planning. He never stops hahaha
Devon great video, I learn a Lot, thank you for sharing this, and your family, great job!! Nice edition, can we know more about Main tank maintenance and cleaning please????
love the stilts! some great work here appreciate the info/vid!
Thanks! They work well for Doug, but I haven't tried them. Maybe this year I will.
Yes yes, please share details of the greenhouse construction.
I'm glad there is interest in seeing the construction process. We will make one soon.
Love your channel. I work at a large greenhouse in KY. Best wishes and keep up the good work.
Thanks! What do you grow? I appreciate that 💚
@@HomegrownPassion I work at AppHarvest. It’s a 60 acre greenhouse in Morehead Ky. We grow TOV and Beefsteak tomatoes that this facility.
Wow amazing
I’d LOVE seeing the build on the greenhouse. I am considering a smaller, maybe 50%, commercial setup. I am learning on my basement system now. But I am seriously considering the greenhouse as a supplement income source. 👍
Ok great! Thanks for the feed back. We have a lot of clips from when we built it, and I think putting those together with Doug explaining every thing might make an informative video. It would be a great side income for sure, and we have seen an even bigger interest lately in fresh, local produce.
yes yes yes i would love to see how the greenhouse got up and the nft support system .....
Ok great! Thank you for the feedback. We had fun making this one and hopefully we can get to that soon.
Thank you so very much for the tour. It looks like Doug has done a great job. With all the environmental rules and regulations I am surprised your allowed to have and burn your own natural gas. A little video of Doug's leather works would be interesting.
Realy well done guy's 👍
Thank you so much 😀
@@HomegrownPassion 🐝💜🐝
"Budding" aquaponics grower here! Thanks for the really comprehensive tour, its difficult to find videos on the air handling systems in greenhouses :)
Liked, commented and Subscribed for the algo ;)
Glad it was helpful!
Hi devon. I already harvest my beans. Watch and comment soon
Yes would love to see more😍
Great! We are going to make a greenhouse construction video soon.
I wish I had a dad like that at our commercial nursery :(
Thanks He is a great guy.
excellent keep it going love from germany
Thank you very much Steve! Hope you are having a nice weekend.
@@HomegrownPassion same to you all
This is all wonderful. Your attention to detail is impeccable.
With thrips screen and other systems in place, have you managed to keep out pests and diseases completely?
I follow you from Nairobi Kenya.
Hello, Adam I appreciate that. The systems help very much, however we still get aphids every once in a while. When this happens, we locate the area they infested and dispose of the affected produce before they can spread.
Hola familia viendo tus videos y dejando el like 👍 y el apoyo 🌱 de la huertita de Guille un desde las islas Canarias un abrazo 🌴
Dad is a genius
He is and loves DIY projects. He's a good maintenance man.
@@HomegrownPassion It must have cost a motza to set up
It would be great if you could list sources for the materials and systems implemented in your greenhouse. For example, who manufactures the water wall or the air curtain? The air wall is something I really need to help combat the introduction of pests into my indoor grow spaces.
don't mind me asking but how much did a system like this cost roughly? great videos. keep up the work.
I have that same exact Generac system here at my home/business. The automation and security it provides is great. The only downside is I am running on NatGas. I wish I had more of a true backup, using NatGas normally, but running the backups on Propane. Maybe someday... But it is a nice automated system.
Thank you! The Generac gives us so much peace of mind. I understand about the nat gas too. Sometimes the well goes down or gets blocked up, which is the main reason they got the wood burner.
Amazing father
He truly is 💚
Love the green house! Do you build these for people?
We should, we loved building ours, but it was a lot of work. Unfortunately, we have never built for anyone else.
I cant even begin to imagine how expensive that entire thing cost😬. ONE DAY!
It's paid for itself many times over in 7 years
I vote for the build video
I hope to have that done in the next week or so. Thanks for the input.
Wow That's the best farm!
I am gonna build a farm too, so I have a question.
Where did you buy the NFT channel?
In my country, there are few information about it.
Thank you! The NFT channel are from CropKing. They are very nice because you can open them to clean. Here is the link.
www.cropking.com/catalog/nft-system-components
We would love to see how you built your stands for nft.
ok we will get a video up for you on that
MORNING Devon 🙋🏻♂️🙋🏻♂️ just checking in to see you’re beautiful face and smile 😊!!! I’d watch you reading a newspaper!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Good morning! How are you? Thank you, that is very sweet 😊💚💚💚
super dad ! wow
This is borderline space station farming.
I have a question for the heating system. Does it work by blowing hot steam through the greenhouse? If so, the humidity level of the greenhouse will rise, right?
Wow. I am really curious about your dad. He is the real man, can do almost anything. Please make vids about him and your mom maybe, someday, kind of a podcast maybe with Q&A.
Thank you he is a hard worker and loves to try new things. We are going to do a livestream on Thursday with him. I’ll post details soon. -Devon
Keren..
you mentioned a possible video of how the greenhouse was built, layout and growing area setup
I would like to replicate your Greenhouse facility setup for my farm in Alaska using Crop King Greenhouse and products as well.
Please advise if this is available ???
th-cam.com/video/KYkE2914ui8/w-d-xo.html i think might help you
Please share the information which is the best available complete cooling and heating agriculture grow system available in market with builtin control. The method of calculations etc.
I don't know which is the best I can only tell you what we use and how we use it. Sorry
For sure, one day I will buy one of those leather purses.
That would be very cool! If you see one you like, you can directly message Doug on the Bradwood Farm Facebook page.
@@HomegrownPassion OK, Thank you Devon.
How much does something like this run?
That's a cool fuckin dad, I'm about to start a hydroponic setup myself.
He sure is!!! What kind of method are you going with? There are so many cool ones now.
@@HomegrownPassion I'm going to do a Dutch bucket method for heirloom tomatoes with some floating raft deep water culture for lettuce and such. Yalls whole setup just amazed me today that is really awesome and I hope to have something as cool one day and start selling locally here in Arkansas.
What kind of coating is on the wet wall cardboard?
It has a waxy coating and a bit of build up. It needs cleaned before the warm season.
When I grow up I want to be like Devon's dad ..
He can fix anything 😊
Hi
Can you please discuss how much the investment, ROI, time needed to complete break even. Any govt. benefits ?
no gov benefits. ROI was just under 3 years everything now is plus
Did I get this right? You have your own oil well? 4:00
Yes we do, but sometimes it is unreliable which is why we must have the back up wood burner.
How much does this setup cost?
❤️
What is the cost to build a greenhouse like that?
not sure what the prices are now its a two bay set up so i think you can look it up on the supply websites
WOW! Do you folks ever sleep?
Sometimes haha we just really enjoy the greenhouse and doing new projects. 💚
If you see eye bags, means she just woke up😄
What name and brand is your greenhouse?
Our farm name is Bradwood Farm and the greenhouse is from CropKing. It's their double bay gutter connect greenhouse.
Did I see a natural gas/oil well on your property?!
Yes you did. It's not the most reliable well in the world, which is why we have the wood burner back up.
@@HomegrownPassion That's still very cool. I'd love to have even a somewhat reliable source of fuel right under my property :)
why wouldn't you attach everything with ductwork? instead of just blowing it at another fan.
Not sure how you would duct work in a greenhouse. We want air flow around all areas of the greenhouse. Using the jet fan to distribute heated and outside air around the greenhouse is a effective way to do that.
Wondering why you have a wood burner heating system. You have a natural gas well??? Why not use it instead of sawing, chopping storing firewood and having yo clean the ash left over. I don't understand why.
I wish we didn't need to worry about the wood. It is hard work for sure, but the well can be unreliable. Sometimes there's issues with the well head or it gets blocked up. A few years ago we went all winter without the well working. Gotta have back up in case that happens.
How did you learn all this...?!😢
Growers school workshop at CropKing
I guess U should make a insta account too regarding Homegrown passion or regarding Bradwood Farm 🌾& add insta ID account in all video description ..and also make a video on dad's leather work we will love to see that🥰❤️..Love Ur Videos Subscriber From INDIA🌠❤️

Awesome! Thanks, Paul and I will share this with him. He really enjoys leather working, and he's given me some beautiful belts and purses. He enjoys doing projects and learning new things. I'm lucky to have him. We are hoping to film the greenhouse construction video soon. 💚 - Devon
@@HomegrownPassion martin ashworth is his name.devon .you may have to search yourself.but you'll find a few videos of him repairing old leather antique items and he teaches you all about leather work.a really interesting man .yeh your dad like i.said reminded me of mine .he seemed to know how to do anything take care love to the family.paul x
Devon great video, I learn a Lot, thank you for sharing this, and your family, great job!! Nice edition, can we know more about Main tank maintenance and cleaning please????
Thank you so much! I appreciate gettin suggestions for videos. That helps me out a lot and we can definitely make a video on the tank. I may include that info when we show how we built the greenhouse because that was a big part of it. - Devon
