- We highlighted Scott and Crystal Van Gaasbeck from Under the Tree Farms' underground, sunken greenhouse and this time we wanted to see how it held up during the growing season-plus they were seedling-sitting for us while we were away!
See the build out here: • Couple Builds a SUNKEN... . And Scott and Crystal have made their plans available for purchase here: bit.ly/3SiNL2P

I have a radiant slab greenhouse as well. When I first ran the boiler it ran continuously for four days. I thought we wouldn’t be able to afford to run it. We had insulated very well below and around the perimeter but still the boiler kept running, we were not losing it from conduction to the ground. What I realized was that I was trying to heat all of the air in the greenhouse, all the way to the ceiling, which is just a waste of money. I ended up building a large, 20’ x 20’ cold frame inside the building about 32” above the floor. Over this I made a blanket of 6 layers of Agribon fastened to the wall on one edge and to a pipe on the other. I cover the plants at night ,if I am running heat, and then roll the blanket off in the morning. I also have a one layer thick blanket that I can use when I want the plants to get light but when the greenhouse isn’t making enough heat to keep the boiler from coming on. This keeps quite a lot of the heat in the cold frame and reduces fuel consumption. Additionally, I covered all parts of the floor that don’t get plants on them, the potting bench area and walk paths, etc with thick foam rubber mats to further retain heat. The idea is to allow the slab to heat the plants not the building. If you put your thermostat inside the cold frame you will get an accurate reading of the temperature of the air around the plants. They also have the conductive heat from sitting on the concrete which keeps their roots warm but doesn’t really warm the foliage as much as you would like.
Ingenius, Scott and Crystal. May you have fun and prosper. 🎉
I'm so excited that you're doing this! I've been wanting to build an inground greenhouse for years ❤️
Super cool! I love seeing how other people approach these universal problems with their gardens and greenhouses and come up with unique and really ingenious solutions. Keep up the good work everyone!
Love Scott and Crystal. Such a wealth of knowledge and tips. 🌱
Scott reminds me so much of my dad - constantly updating and modifying his space to fit his specific needs with inexpensive items at-hand. Spaces like this are so magical and so unique.
I agree!! So special
I really appreciate the update. It makes things come full circle.
I would like to see a plan for how to produce more PEOPLE like these. You should do a sit down interview with the familes and give people an idea of how these kind of people even happen.
@Disabled.Megatron not "one day" but now, every day as much as can be, as an extreme priority with joy ..
There's plenty of us like that out in the boonies, we're just not advertising ourselves, nor pretending that we discovered something revolutionary. You'd probably mistake us for redneck Trump supporters if you didn't pay close attention.
Apprenticeship or volunteer. They'll pass down the knowledge and the mindsets transfer via proximity & osmosis
That is clever design for the hose.
Wow! My hat is off to such industry.
Thank you Ms. Summer.🌸💚🙃
Great work!! It's thriving. Thats nice you have chestnuts and the critters are under control!!
Wonderful space! Thanks for sharing it with us.
Was it intentional that the first video came up on my feed again recently? I've been tempted to rewatch cause this guy is phenomenal. Yay thanks for this!
Cool greenhouse.. literally
They seem like good people
Enjoyed the update! Lots of work represented in this! Love the water hose hanger idea! Figs and other stuff looks great! Never enough space .. in one place! ;-) lol
Very interesting! 🌷
Thanks, i was hoping you would have more on this project.
Thank you for sharing ❤
Love it
Those fig poles making me wince. Right height for impaling or losing an eye.
Fantástico. 💚
Really nice!!! Good effort
I'm guessing anyone with currants has the varieties immune to the blister rust. I loved the deep dive in the wooly adelgid, and would love to see something on currants, gooseberries, and blister rust.
love itttt
Fascinating! I wish we could do that, but our water table is too high.
Put radon tester there
The propane heater also produces high amounts of toxic Carbon Monoxide, this is colourless and odourless.
It is potentially lethal if used in an airtight space, and could lead to unconsciousness and worse.
Sorry to be a buzkill but couldn't not say. All the best, looks great.
Pvc piping towers grow more horizontaly
You probably answered this a million times but where are you located
Finger Lakes of New York. Hence the channel name "Flock Finger Lakes".
thanks ! gorgeous ! can you find artist who may create a masterpeacr while living on cite cny?
Radon risk? Would like to do deep winter with earth battery in MN, but concerned about radon-vented, but effective?
Hi i reserch how to build a green house. the roof is more of what im looking for but i have looked the latest days that the sun wants to hit the roof in a90 degree angel and in the winter this will not get that degree? what was your thought when you did it like this?
Propane Space Heaters---> Carbon monoxide or dioxide??
Don't figs require hornets to pollinate their fruit? How are you going to pollinate them?
Why are you not letting your figs grow into trees?
Figs bear mainly on new growth. When you cut it back you get a new flush of growth and a new crop of figs each season.
And more manageable, less space. Obviously.
Love all the info new to gardening . I have lots of questions.
How do you cut? Where do you cut? My trees are small yet only a few leaves
👍🏼👍🏼
All of the greenhouse space is above ground, lol.
There is no underground greenhouse anywhere in this video.
the plants love the CO2 . shh no body tell Gretta
