Top watering for the win. Just like God created it ....
Egg-xactly!
Always get it bigger than you think, you'll need it!
Exactly!
That will be a nice set up.
I think it will too!
Nice!
Thanks David!
Wow I like Travis get me one to.
You won't regret it!
I just got a hugh tunnel and I'm so excited and nervous about learning to grow a little bit of everything. 10 x 16 ft high tunnel in southern Ohio. Keep up the great job! I'm watching and taking notes.
That is exciting! It will definitely give you a jump start on the growing season!
It was like deja Vu hearing you say your wife said as long as it's not visible from the road. Those were the exact same words that came out if my wife's mouth when I told her I was going to build one soon.
Haha!
I'm from Louisiana and my wife is from Illinois so we have the pecan debate pretty regularly 😂
I'm guessing you're on the right side of the debate.
I'm thinking a 30x100 snow king trav!!
You can grow a lot in that!
good luck with the plastic, i have not been able to get a full year out of my 4 year plastic on my 16 x 30. every spring usually around march the wind just shreds it. the brutal summers here in central florida just seems to make it brittle. we are lakefront so there is no wind break.
My dad was able to get more than 4 years on his, so I'm hoping for the same.
that tree you are going to pop out looks like a laural oak
Thanks for letting me know Dawn!
Pecon!!!
When you have to change the spelling to justify the pronunciation, you know there's a problem. lol
You picked a good out of the way spot for a man cave, umm greenhouse. Got to get that electricity hooked up for that mini fridge to work. 😉
Haha. Gonna be a good "hideout" for sure!
FYI- Travis for some reason or other I got unsubscribed from your channel recently and I did not do it. Might want to give others a heads up on this. I like watching both you and your dads channels so I would never unsub....
That's strange. I can't see when someone unsubscribes, so not sure what happened.
Worst of all is the sap sap black SAP
Good thing it's getting terminated.
Travis , congrats on your greenhouse. I just bought a 16 x 24 high tunnel. Can’t wait to get it all put up. I’m planning on growing food in mine like Danny and Wanda do. I wish you the best of luck and luck for myself as well. God bless.
That's great. High tunnels are a nice way to grow food year round.
Awesome news! Y'all are gonna love it!
I think so too!
Looking forward to seeing install. Cover ground prep please.
From my understanding, they're not going to have to do any ground prep since it's pretty level. But I'll definitely address that if we have to do anything extra.
I am going to make cold frames. And for the lemon bushes, I need to make a tent for frosty nights. I will rip treated 2x4s to 2x2's but for the siding and roof, I need to find something to use. Later the three tents will be used for summer starts. What would you recommend for the shell? also, you might want to consider a shade cloth to roll up inside. Lots of places using green houses use them. Blessings, Russ
Ours will have 6 mil white plastic as the shell.
@@LazyDogFarm I am sure yours will have UV resiswtance. I used some without this and it got brittle and fell apart.
Is a Georgia Pea-Can related to a
South Mississippi pecan
Very likely.
yay Greenhouse!!! Here in NH, we love our greenhouse. It's an old car port frame with 10mil plastic (Farm Plastic Supply) and a used pellet stove we picked up for a steal.
That's a neat idea to keep it warm!
Love the videos. I feel like you freed me to top water my starts. I prefer to top water, but since so many people are teaching bottom watering I felt like I was doing something wrong.
Show me a commercial greenhouse grower that bottom waters and I'll show you some oceanfront property in Arizona.
I ordered bottom trays from Hoss Tools,never got them.I got 2 large seed tray in 2020.
You should call them and get them to send you the right items.
Travis, can you share the kind of footwear you and your wife use in the garden? This old lady is in need of some comfortable shoes for garden work. My feet get so sore from regular hard garden shoes. Thanks!
Here's the women's version of what I wear: amzn.to/3Cm4BUH
@@LazyDogFarm Super helpful! Thanks!!!
Congratulations on the greenhouse! That is going to be a great addition!
It definitely will!
Hi Travis I plan to get a greenhouse later, but for now I start my seedlings in my basement. It’s so nice outside so I decided to start my broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage outside 2 or 3 weeks ago they germinated fast but they don’t look like they are growing much should I bring them in or just wait? I’m not sure how long it takes them to get 3 or 4 inches tall this is the first time I’ve tried to grow these plants. Thanks for any information you can give I love your family and the videos you make together those boys are the cutest little guys ❤️
Most transplants usually take about 5-6 weeks from seed to viable transplant that's ready to go in the ground. If they have true leaves (the second set of leaves), it's probably time to give them some fertilizer.
How excellent. It's also helpful to keep heavy rain from destroying seedlings. That happens often here in the south.
Yes! That helps too.
@@LazyDogFarm Now that you'll have a great seed starting place don't forget to try some rhubarb this fall. It would probably do well in your third metal raised bed.
Also, wondering if you would consider growing parsnips and celery this fall. I'm planning to try both.
I've used my 4-tier greenhouse for years on my patio 😃. It protected my herbs and strawberries during the great Snowmageddon here in TX! I wouldn't garden without it! 👍🏾👍🏾
Hopefully y'all don't have another snowmageddon for quite a while!
@@LazyDogFarm No joke!!! LOL!!! 👍🏾👍🏾
Hey Travis can't wait to see the greenhouse ❤I just know you and Brooklyn and the boys will make it a great success❤God bless ya'll ✝️🌅🌻🧡
Hopefully the whole family will enjoy it!
Do you know if they will they come to NC and build a green house for me if I purchase one?
I'm sure they could. Give them a call and they'll be glad to let you know if they can.
So this means you can't use your Dad's or Hoss tools green house like you use too?
His place is on the other side of the county from mine, about 20 minutes away. So it's much easier for me to have one here.
Got to film the whole set up!
Gonna try my best!
Congratulations! Like the model your getting. Thanks for the info on the company.
My pleasure. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing....exciting news happy for y'all.
Thanks for watching Marty!
I’m glad to see your getting a green house. I’m really looking forward to seeing all the seed starting videos. Also I’m looking forward to seeing the construction. I built one TP2 style but didn’t put anything on the ground. Weeds and grass are terrible. Only had up since this spring. Gonna have to do something with the floor.
Down here you can close the windows and kill anything in there, even the grass.
@@LazyDogFarm yes here too. But in the spring if your starts are in there it kills them as well. I’ll see if anything comes back this fall or next spring. Had to use round up on it after I got all the starts put out. It was a jungle.
Nice addition.
Thanks Leslie!
Greenhouse is a long time dream because I live in Maine.
I bet. You could certainly use one up there. The only concern I guess would be the snow load.
Looking forward to seeing the greenhouse and videos
Should be fun!
This is very exciting stuff! I’m okay with grow lights for my little garden plus our weather is so cold we would have to spend a lot of money on heating. If I was in your situation I would sure want one!!!! I would even want one here if my garden was bigger! I’m fascinated by those geothermal green houses that use underground temperatures to heat in winter and cool in summer.
Those geothermal ones are pretty cool!
You got us Texas folk stirred up over how to say Pecan. Just kidding, say it the way you want. Us Texas folk will keep saying it the right way.
Oh you stubborn Texas folk! lol
Travis good on ya, we really like your idea's. Edward and Paulette from Michigan
Thank y'all for watching!
The seeds are on there way
Thanks Richard!
Your welcome
I have a green house or really a cold frame. I love it it small but it has 32 ft of shelf space and it has been big enough to start all my plants for the garden
That's a lot of shelf space. You can grow quite a few transplants with that.
Having a greenhouse is definitely a near term goal for me. Can't wait to see y'all get your's put up and put to work.
It'll be a busy place once it gets up and going. Thanks for watching!
Hi Travis, Great Video, I've been thinking of building a hoop house to start my transplants, and your video has helped me make up my mind.
Good deal! You'll be glad you did.
Looking forward to your adventures in greenhouse land. :)
Should be some wonderful adventures!
Travis so excited for you all getting your new greenhouse, can't wait to see all the new seed starting videos.
Should be fun! Thanks for watching Karen!
Been looking forward to this! Hope to see your greenhouse .. beginning to end
Hopefully we can get it all on camera.
Will be a wonderful addition.🤗
We think so too! Thanks for watching!
AWESOME!!! A greenhouse is on my wishlist.🙏❤🙏❤👍
Mine too. Thinking I will build one to fit my needs. Would love to use the poly sheets.... we'll see what the budget allows.
You'll be so glad you did when you finally get one!
Congratulations- sounds like you will really enjoy your greenhouse! You cracked me up discarding the area next to the compost bin because it wasn't level and would require too much dirt work, then later talking about the hills and undulations on your property. So funny how subjective words can be. My 5 acres north of Atlanta is considered to be level in our area- our hills and undulations have only a 40 ft variation in height. Many of my neighbors have much greater elevation changes.
Yeah our land is pretty flat, just with lots of bumps. That would probably be a better way to characterize it.
Congratulations on the green house and if I said peecan up here no one would know what I was talking about.
Haha! If you say it confidently enough, they'll start to realize that they're the ones saying it wrong.
That's going to be a game changer! Glad for y'all! I'm not going to even touch the "pecan" thing, I'll just say we disagree! :) I know a guy near Montgomery who has a really cool setup that's stuck in my head for a while. He has a similar size greenhouse, but with a peak roof. He rigged a gutter system around three sides of the house, with a downspout that feeds a small catch basin he built. He uses an inexpensive electric sump pump that's equipped with a pvc "snorkel" attached to the pump, like what I use to water my garden, and he has it stepped down to attach a garden hose. He has a piece of pvc (don't remember the size, but not too big, probably 3/4" as that's standard "hose" size) with holes drilled in it, on both sides, that he runs down the peak of the roof. That pipe is plumbed female, to accept the hose as well. He fills the basin with clean water and turns on the pump and "waters" his roof. The runoff goes into the gutter, down the downspout and back into the basin, where it's recirculated. It's AMAZING how much cooler and more comfortable it is in that greenhouse!! I'm sure the plants like the extra humidity too. Really cool setup.....
That is brilliant. Gotta have the pitch for that to work though it seems.
@@LazyDogFarm It wouldn't take much. Water is going to always go downhill! The fall on the gutters is only a few inches over 24' and it flows fine. He's got gutter caps he snaps on in the winter to keep them clean. It's a low volume system, not a huge amount of water, but it doesn't take much to make a big difference.
Congrats!!
Thanks!
That tree your going to cut looks like a water oak.
RIP Water Oak.
However you water, just make sure you do water. Because otherwise you won't have any plants. I love my green house, I need to get a bigger one. My long term goal is to build a large tropical hot house where I can camp out in during the winter.
That would be sweet! You could grow all kinds of cool fruits in the tropical house!
that's awesome Travis.funny i just bought a green house my self this week.having one will make things a lot easier and no more nagging from the wife when i make a mess in the house..best of luck sir.
Good stuff. Sounds like you and the wife will enjoy the new greenhouse!
I got used heavy UV plastic from a nursery when they recovered houses. It's been hanging vertically in the sun 15 years with no sign of failing.
Nice! I'd be thrilled to get 6 years or so from this plastic.
@@LazyDogFarm Forgot to mention it was used when I got it. No telling how old it is.
That's going to be a great place to show some more great video's from . I hope they will let you film some of the build too .
They should. We'll try to get as much footage as we can.
I was born in south ga so I talk like y’all. I married an AL man so that’s been my home for 38 years but I say spicot, pee-can, and all your south ga lingo. My mom aunts uncles etc all still live in Hahira, Lakeland, Valdosta. I am very excited about y’all getting a greenhouse. Mine is halfway built so hopefully will have it finished before too long. Me and my husband building on weekends for me. 8x16. So I will be looking forward to learning from you and Brooklyn. Would love for you to film the actual build and you setting it up. Thanks and happy gardening. 👩🌾☀️🌻🍅🌽
We're going to try our best to film the build. Congrats on your greenhouse build. Hopefully you'll be able to use it this fall.
I like that the 1 you're getting has tall straight sidewalls. 10x16 is a good size for starting transplants and should work out well for you. The 1 at Hoss seemed to work out well for your needs. I like the idea of getting a greenhouse and have the room for a 10x16 or even a bit larger. It's the use case that I haven't figured out yet. Spring seed starting would be 1 but at the time I start tomatoes and peppers, it's freezing outside. Heating a polytunnel when it's gets down to 0 F outside isn't practical. That leaves season extension as the main use and maybe a bit of seed starting in April.
Yeah it's tricky if you're way up north. But it could also be handy for succession planting if you do any of that. Having transplants ready to go at all times so you don't have to wait on in-ground germination.
Alright, alright, allllright! Greenhouse benefits really well presented and I look forward to your greenhouse videos :- )
Thanks for watching Herb!
I have a bunch of experience with auto water and misters. My cousin grows 25,000 to 30,000 9inch potted mums. When all the mum cuttings come in they get misted every 15min for a couple weeks. Everything in the setup is made custom. I'll talk to ya about it if needed
Might definitely need a consult at some point.
@@LazyDogFarm I got you brother
I plan on getting a small one for next year.
Awesome! You'll enjoy it.
You made good choices there from start to finish. I built my 12' x 24' quonset hoop house from scratch but I wouldn't do it that way again. Labor intensive. Buy a good kit. I used 5 mm twin wall Solexx and prefer it to sheet poly. I use mine for everything out here in the Mountain West, but keeping it cool enough is the hard part. I've seen how you use your 162 flats and you'll soon be in the seedling business. Big round of applause. Greenhouse Megastore for online components.
Thanks Mark! Good to hear your experiences.
Enjoyed the video. I have two cattle panel houses 8’ x 15’ x 7’h. One I use to winter flowers in. The other to start seeds for transplants. The one I use for transplants I have an old tarp on the ground for weed suppression. Going to put a tarp in the other one need to clean it out and use some roundup. I was going to start some transplants this week but by what you said I may wait until the end of August. Any thoughts.
I'm planning on using roundup to convert the current grass to a dirt floor.
Hey I just wanted to let you know if you go over to alumni acres and look at what he did on his greenhouse it will help you with yours also. He put in a turning bar on each side so when he needed to raise the sides for ventilation he just hooked his drill up to it and it rolled it up by itself the same thing to put it down it will make it so much easier.
Neat idea! This one has a really easy hand crank and takes about 10 seconds to roll.
How do you keep the grass so far off your bushes (blueberries or blackberries looks like) to the right of the back side of the barn in the video? I cleared all the grass when I planted and we weedeat it regularly but it quickly grows back, even up through 4-6" of mulch. Please tell me your secret!! 🙂
There were pine trees there prior to those fig trees being planted there. So there's never really been grass in those rows. The lawn mower tires keep it scuffed pretty well now so that the grass doesn't establish there.
Do I need a greenhouse if I closely monitor the weather? I want to start seeds for the fall but a greenhouse is not going to be an option.
If you keep a close eye on the weather and the trays, you should be fine.
You better watch it you're going to become a homesteader/ farmer recently you picked up chick and now you're getting a new greenhouse I think that's great
Working on it!
Them Pcan trees are bad! I was working my tomatoes this past Spring near a Pcan tree and heard a crrrrrrrack! and looked up just in time to avoid the Pcan limb crashing to the ground. I was a bit shaken to say the least and found I needed a Pee Can of my own! :- )
Haha! We have a huge one by the house that always makes me nervous during the storms. We always move our vehicles as far away as possible when a storm is brewing.
Good morning Travis. Did you move to a new homestead location in your transition. Thank you for sharing your gardening life with us
It's the same place we've lived since 2013. We didn't move.
@@LazyDogFarm oK thanks. I enjoy your posts.
Can you film a in depth how to build the greenhouse video?
I'm gonna try!
What's the diff between a green house and a high tower?
I'm sorry I meant high tunnel.
Some folks will use the terms interchangeably. I would consider a high-tunnel a type of greenhouse. It could be used to grow transplants, but they're most often used for growing food in the ground.
Definitely Puhcun not pee can. Easy way to remember is you don't pee in a can
I have pee'd in a can on more than one occasion. lol
@@LazyDogFarm 🤣 ya got me there
Definitely double layer the plastic so it can be inflated. That stuff will survive some major storms. My cousin has a dozen 30x100 frames all double layer inflated roofs. His roofs last much longer
Not a bad idea at all!
Travis, you MUST be from Georgia! 🤣 Every Texan knows it's pecan, not pecan!😉. Love it! Can't wait for the greenhouse content. Glad you're getting one. Take care of that back.
Born and raised! Thanks for watching Drue!
You can grow a mango tree 😋 or some vanilla bean orchard!
Mango tree sounds like a great idea!
You cannot grow anything during the winter here in Minnesota without heating it, which would be about $1200/month, simply impractical for home gardening. Maybe extending the harvest of less cold sensitive veggies for three weeks isn't practical either or worth the investment.
Makes sense.
i dont even own a bidet...let alone other kinds of bottom watering :)
Hahaha!
I was wondering what you're going to do for a greenhouse this year
We'll have that covered hopefully soon!
Travis, I want to build a “window” greenhouse. My brother is willing to give me some quarter inch “green” glass, like the kind that was used in storefronts. What’s your thinking on green tinted glass?
I don't have any experience with using tinted glass, so hard for me to say. I do know from biology classes that plants don't absorb green wavelengths of light, they reflect them. That's why plants are green. So that could be a potential issue.
i've seen plastic pots melt in a greenhouse. you need vents in a greenhouse
Never seen it get hot enough to melt them, but I believe it.
Travis, I am in Phoenix AZ zone 9b. I would like to have a greenhouse rather then grow starters in a conditioned shed under LED lights. Do you think roll up windows would keep starter cool enough when its 110F+?
110F is tough. I guess it depends on what you used for the covering. Might would need to go with a plastic that had some more "shade" properties.
You will be glad if you cut that water oak tree. They are bad about falling over
Your right about that. By the time they are mature seems like the centers rot out.
So that's what that is! Thanks for letting me know.
I cannot tell if it is a water oak or a laurel oak from your video. Either way it is a tree-shaped weed in my opinion -- short lived and constantly dropping limbs. Oh, and the laurel oaks drop half their leaves in the fall and the other half in the spring, so I'm raking the yard twice a year..
What’s the name of the song that plays at the end of your vlog?
It's called "Beauty of Your Life" by Rodello's Machine
Does that area get good winter sun?
It does. I don't foresee any issues.
Hey Travis and Brooklyn! Congratulations! Chickens and now greenhouse. Look forward to seeing gardening videos in the winter time as well!
Travis, you should have talked to someone like Growers Solutions, etc and had them give you a free greenhouse. All of those other guys seem to be getting free green houses as a part of them discussing the green house and making an argument for the establishment of a greenhouse in the viewers gardens. I know that you do not like to push the vendors, but you are promoting some very important information to your subscribers. These guys also seem to get other stuff like trampolines, etc for their kids. I don’t see why Titus and Abram who are sooooo cute should not get fun stuff for free as well! You have a very very devoted audience, more so than many other channels. Just my 2 cents worth, not to imply that you cannot afford these things, but given the service you are providing, you should get these things sent to you. Take care and God bless.
I considered that, but wanted to use someone locally that could assist with the build since I'm not able to do it currently.
Here in south Texas zone 9b we need a shade house, when I had a greenhouse it was always open cause its never cold enough to even keep seedlings from the cold
Edit : will be watching your greenhouse journey and maybe you’ll convert me to get one again!!!
Yeah in your case the only benefit might be getting things started earlier in spring.
Lololol Are you going to start growing Cannabis in your greenhouse? I see the advertising for the Cannabis Conference on the greenhouse page! lololol
Haha. I saw that too. Don't think we're going to jump on that bandwagon.
Guys, It's PEEEECAN not PUHCAN ...🤣🤣🤣 👍
That's right!
You know I say Pucan or Pucon how ever you spell it. LOL
I thought you had one
That was at Hoss tools place
What Angie said.
One of the silver lining benefits of you being so busted up is that you have the time to make more frequent videos. You may not see it quite the same way. Heal up anyway.
We've been on a 3x week schedule since we started the channel and we're going to try our best to keep that going.
No not pea can .......pacahn
We'll just have to agree to disagree. lol
Say it like I spell it, Puhcon.....Yall just wrong.........
No way you get that pronunciation from a word spelled "pecan." lol
