So what I did was turn off the volume and start reading the comments. You guys have amazing suggestions! Thank you so much for the Walipini greenhouse and the rocket mass heater. Also for the wood burning stoves!!
A point to keep in mind when building a multi-season greenhouse house is that 99% of light comes from the south (in the northern hemisphere), while only 1% comes from the north. But at night, if the walls of the greenhouse is transparent, you'll lose 50% of the heat to the south, and 50% to the north. So, the north side should be opaque and reflective to keep from losing half or more of your heat at night.
There are other considerations that were developed back in the late 60's with the movement back to the land. Taking advantage of geothermal / grow hole Saw tooth Roof configuration and insolated shutters. I am starting a practice this winter as the pond freezes over to take the scyth and harvest the cattails for free insolation once shredded in the hammer mill and installed in the N. Rooves. Shalom
@sojournsojourntraveler1203 Yes, there are a lot I'd things that can be done. But do they need to. Collect energy, and then conserve it as best you can. Why do work and/or spend money that you don't need to do. Of the two, time spent doing work is the only capital we can't acquire more of.
Bricks absorb a lot of heat and release it slowly :) Composting effective and sustainable way to emit heat :-) Decomposition = releases heat. =160% Fahrenheit Place around green house and inside ! Right mix of greens, grass, dried leaves and straw. Compost piles along perimeter of green house . Compost bins are good for plants to keep warm. Turn compost regularly!
Never thought about composting inside the greenhouse, makes great sense though. I filled my compost bin with grass clippings and next day I measured over 160°F / 70°C with a bbq thermometer. It does drop fast but it's a great idea. In addition, in Canada, they have internal thermal blinds that close inside the greenhouse after sundown to trap the heat, and open at sunrise to let heat in, and they are growing summer produce while outside it's freezing!
I use clear plastic boxes for my spring seed starts. When it's below freezing overnight, I bring the boxes in. In mid-spring, I open the covers just a bit everyday to keep the plants from over heating. It works well for the few weeks that it takes to give the plants a head start.
From various horse rescue centres and the comments they make I just wish the Amish were kinder to their horses and after years of work let their horses retire on Amish fields.
If you live up north, so the north wall need to be made of a wide wall made of rammed earth, and paint that of black color. The roof need to be made of 3 coat of plastic separates 1 inch from one other. And walls need 2 coat of plastic. Inside of the green house, beside the black wall, you need to create a compost area, made of straw, in a deeper canal. If you want to earn heat, you need to create cameras inside the green house. You need to create like rooms of 15 x 15 f made of plastic walls.
Where I live, in the Midwest, a lot of winter days you don’t see the sun at all. I understand what is said in this video but there has to be more to this than what is said. Like an underground insulated heat storage pit using the black glass to draw the heat from the sun but add rocks to absorb and hold the heat to be drawn through the greenhouse during the night. Heat rises and cold falls.
No, there isn't more to it, even though there could be if one wants. There were many methods and techniques covered in this video - not just solar heat. But there is one thing not mentioned. Every layer of protection added to the plants increases your USDA zone by 1. Thus, add a low tunnel over plants in an high tunnel or other green house and a zone 6 can become a zone 8 environment.
@jamesurzykowski4918 I know right? I live in Northern Canada and most days just this month I get ZERO sunshine and in the winter -20 C to -40 C is the norm for weeks on end! I have frozen my tomatoes in June in the greenhouse. I have huge heat sinks in my greenhouse -40 doesn't care!
Also can make a greenhouse with space for a mulch pile, that heats up as it breaks down. Then you can stockpile organic material before winter, oike dry hay and weeds, then pile it all up and add to it throughout the winter, will stay warm even with no sun.

I find it difficult to follow, while you speak about greenhouses then show a very tiny greenhouse? or a huge barn being built. I only saw the one greenhouse with blue plastic water barrels - do Amish use plastic? I would think the containers would be out of wood or ? I would rather live in the Greenhouse with the plants for health air and warmth in the Northern States. Even build a green house around a house to keep warm in winter. I love Earthships in Taos, New Mexico all blended together!
@@kallasusort2986 Yes, you could live in a greenhouse. But keep in mind that the humidity can cause things, like books and fabrics, to mold, or iron and steel to rust. It might be better to add the greenhouse onto a dwelling, like an earthship.
I literally just sent them a complaint telling them I'm tired of them telling me what to think, they're not good people and they're not arbiters of truth.
The Amish know that the sun occupies the southern sky that's why they orientate facing south (southern exposure).not so much rising e and setting w. Keep it 100
I was hesitant about clicking this video, but I thought to myself "there's no way they'd make a twenty minute video of what a green house just does." But here I am, feeling pretty foolish
Putting compost piles inside of a greenhouse is a really bad idea. One byproduct of composting is ammonia, which can damage plants. I tried this once and learned the hard way.
@@kishidabu If your pile produced ammonia, you didn't have a good mix, or you had something contaminating the mix, or you didn't turn the pile often enough to keep it properly oxygenated. I guess you missed that part of the video.
I can't remember the name of it, but there's plastic sheeting for use on green houses, lets the sun and heat in but not the uv rays that can damage plants and give sunburns to people.
I'm surprised the Amish haven't turned the water barrels into metal and then installed little stoves underneath them........ Oh no it's cold let's turn the stoves bring them up to a boil up and then turn them off! Instant water purifier/humidifier/room warmer
Dude...another 10 minute video taking 23 minutes. Not everything needs an analogy or a silly comparison. We're building greenhouses, we know how things work, just trying to do it more efficiently...like this video should have been.
@MzladyGrinn He said that he is "1 zone off from in-ground figs", not in zone 1. But to answer your interesting question, zone 1 in North America is in northern Canada.
You don't need flat ground. Build your greenhouse to follow the slope on the south face of a hill. The top of the greenhouse will be hottest, there you have your water pipes to collect the daytime heat. Pump the water, underground 12-18" through PEX pipe. Thermosyphon will work, but far less efficiently. The warmed soil will heat the greenhouse during the Colder days. And a backup woodstove will help a lot, on cloudy cold days. The micro-climate F the south slope, might be sufficient to Overwinter your trees, too.
Paul, et al, There’s a Chinese guy in Edmonton who does something similar. His site(?) shows pictures of a massive number of green houses in northern China that do the same. We must get moving on this here int the US. California p’s vegetables just aren’t doing it. Here in northern Wisconsin zucchini and cucumbers and bendy, eggplant brown and garlic old. I’m disgusted.
Bc when it is winter and plants aren't growing they want to have had extra growing time that season to make sure they don't starve in the off season. Also useful for starting seedlings earlier than the outdoor weather will allow so they can be transplanted when it is warm and have a headstart over in ground seeds that would only just barely be starting. Also to protect more valuable crops from animals, potentially. Really there's massive benefits of a greenhouse to people who survive agriculturally.
@@Captain_PinkOh my, there is intelligent life in the comment section. You covered so much of it. Just one more reason: to stay healthy by having fresh veggies during winter. 👍
I've been on lots of Amish farms and the whole fantasy of them doing clever things like this is not true. They shop at Walmart and burn massive amounts of wood to heat and cook. They use oil for lamps and heaters. All the greenhouses I saw were only used in early spring to finish off seedlings they buy from commercial growers.
Designed anvintrigrated house/ greenhouse usinng all of these passive methods in 1971..but no money to build..plus a passive cooling fruit cellar/ house..all in one..oh well..
To all the nay-sayers, you probably heat things with oil or propane. They do too. But take advantage of what's available. You probably have zero understanding of thermal batteries and basic thermal engineering. but keep laughing at them, while they keep taking your money.
I would love to hear about thermal batteries!! Is it something you can tell me about doing, or would it be easier for me to look it up on YT? VERY interested!
This is a crappy video which uses the Amish name to market itself and make itself seem special. This is all basic thermodynamics or common sense. And the B roll footage often has nothing to do with actual Amish people, like all the Witness clips, and clips of non Amish, or even the hydroponic still shot I saw. Definitely a crappy video. Largely inauthentic.

You don't know anything about how they treat there animals. That would be the same as saying you are abusive to your car. Animals are very important to them they are more caring to them then you are to your dog or cat.
battery power is ok in most sects . Electricity is forbade only in the house. the animals in the barn have no soul. so its ok to have electricity out there.

@sojournsojourntraveler1203 What "truth of it"? The discussion is about greenhouses. I see nothing in your post about greenhouses. Ergo, you're way off topic.
@@jayejaycurry5485
Old proverb says some people can't see the forest for the trees,
what is the motivation of the people building the green houses and what is important to them as to their applications?
That is the biggest part of this video.
There are hundreds of greenhouse videos, but they don't cover the thought processes addressed in this one that profile the way they do. Do you have eyes to see and ears to hear ?
@@jayejaycurry5485 I have read through all the comments so far. I have clicked "like" on every comment you have made because you always had good input. Sadly, you have missed the point on this one. Research Yahweh and Yahshua and you will learn something extremely important.
Umm, I thought the Amish had a thing about being on camera...
One should do their homework then!
The Amish do not believe in being on Camera. Though many people, don't respect their beliefs
@eveadame1059 See that's what I thought. YOUR comment was helpful and respectful vs the other guy that was just a douche. Referring to the no 1 redneck guy.
@@eveadame1059Actually, the Amish don't mind anymore than the rest of us. But people with cameras can br A-holes around them. They can be almost as Ryde as "tourists" who just walk into their homes uninvited. Luckily, the Amish don't shoot trespassers. (Too bad.)
Heat the greenhouses with manure. As it compost it generates massive amounts of heat.
I find it difficult to follow, while you speak about greenhouses then show a very tiny greenhouse? or a huge barn being built. I only saw the one greenhouse with blue plastic water barrels - do Amish use plastic? I would think the containers would be out of wood or ? I would rather live in the Greenhouse with the plants for health air and warmth in the Northern States. Even build a green house around a house to keep warm in winter. I love Earthships in Taos, New Mexico all blended together!
@@kallasusort2986 Yes, you could live in a greenhouse. But keep in mind that the humidity can cause things, like books and fabrics, to mold, or iron and steel to rust. It might be better to add the greenhouse onto a dwelling, like an earthship.
That warning at the top of comments is so stupid for this page.
But people love to rage unfairly against the Amish,
Agree! So many videos have that blue box.
"they" have to make sure you think correctly and don't come up with your own ideas.
What blue box? I didn't see any
@@ddgg6680 It is highlighted blue information that is right below the video. I see it on so many videos.
I literally just sent them a complaint telling them I'm tired of them telling me what to think, they're not good people and they're not arbiters of truth.
very ingenious people
The Amish know that the sun occupies the southern sky that's why they orientate facing south (southern exposure).not so much rising e and setting w. Keep it 100
If they don’t like electricity, why is that carpenter using a battery operated drill
I like the Amish cordless drill.
Repeat, repeat, repeat. The point could have been made in 2 minutes.
I was hesitant about clicking this video, but I thought to myself "there's no way they'd make a twenty minute video of what a green house just does." But here I am, feeling pretty foolish
Putting compost piles inside of a greenhouse is a really bad idea. One byproduct of composting is ammonia, which can damage plants. I tried this once and learned the hard way.
@@kishidabu If your pile produced ammonia, you didn't have a good mix, or you had something contaminating the mix, or you didn't turn the pile often enough to keep it properly oxygenated. I guess you missed that part of the video.
Excellent
Wow, a beautiful gardener for a change.
I can't remember the name of it, but there's plastic sheeting for use on green houses, lets the sun and heat in but not the uv rays that can damage plants and give sunburns to people.
Was the orange tree grower using a shelter, or just heating the soil?
Thank God for the Amish they saved the country they voted for Trump and I said thank you to them and I love the way they live.
i never thought of making a permanent astetic green house now i seen them its nothing less
Good Video♥
I'm surprised the Amish haven't turned the water barrels into metal and then installed little stoves underneath them........
Oh no it's cold let's turn the stoves bring them up to a boil up and then turn them off!
Instant water purifier/humidifier/room warmer
Actually you might find everybody wanting to move into the new boiler room greenhouse lolol
Don’t compost in plastic Rubbermaid containers as shown in this video.
@@heathere9240Why? I love people who go about telling others what not to do without any rhythm nor reason.
The Amish people are smart
Efficient 💪
Dude...another 10 minute video taking 23 minutes. Not everything needs an analogy or a silly comparison. We're building greenhouses, we know how things work, just trying to do it more efficiently...like this video should have been.
Thanks for information of amisch
I'd like a greenhouse to grow some fig trees in. I am 1 zone off from in-ground figs. First need some flat land!
If I may ask, Where is Zone 1?
Just visited a farm in WV and he has fig trees in the garden. No covered. They come back each year.
@MzladyGrinn He said that he is "1 zone off from in-ground figs", not in zone 1. But to answer your interesting question, zone 1 in North America is in northern Canada.
I think there is a fig named Brown Turkey that is most cold tolerant and can be grown outside in Arkansas.
You don't need flat ground. Build your greenhouse to follow the slope on the south face of a hill.
The top of the greenhouse will be hottest, there you have your water pipes to collect the daytime heat. Pump the water, underground 12-18" through PEX pipe. Thermosyphon will work, but far less efficiently.
The warmed soil will heat the greenhouse during the Colder days. And a backup woodstove will help a lot, on cloudy cold days.
The micro-climate F the south slope, might be sufficient to Overwinter your trees, too.
"Carbon neutral" is BS. We need carbon.
and 1 volcano puts more carbon out in the air than all the cars in our world .Global warmng by man "bunk"
O please, do they care for their animals
Paul, et al, There’s a Chinese guy in Edmonton who does something similar. His site(?) shows pictures of a massive number of green houses in northern China that do the same. We must get moving on this here int the US. California p’s vegetables just aren’t doing it. Here in northern Wisconsin zucchini and cucumbers and bendy, eggplant brown and garlic old. I’m disgusted.
My question is why would the Amish have a greenhouse?
eat, sell fresh veg , grow plants to sell, to make money because they are capitalistic
Bc when it is winter and plants aren't growing they want to have had extra growing time that season to make sure they don't starve in the off season. Also useful for starting seedlings earlier than the outdoor weather will allow so they can be transplanted when it is warm and have a headstart over in ground seeds that would only just barely be starting. Also to protect more valuable crops from animals, potentially. Really there's massive benefits of a greenhouse to people who survive agriculturally.
@@Captain_PinkOh my, there is intelligent life in the comment section. You covered so much of it. Just one more reason: to stay healthy by having fresh veggies during winter. 👍
So they can grow year round.
How many times can one say Amish in 23 minutes? My wind break blocks the sun, my frozen barrels of Ice don't seem to retain heat...
They have woodstoves in green houses. This vid is BS. The sun is clouded for most days in Pennsylvania winter…
it doesn't say anything about not adding heat, gives examples of utilizing heat provided.
@@flatoutautomotive it's deceiptive
Your comment is BS.
I've been on lots of Amish farms and the whole fantasy of them doing clever things like this is not true. They shop at Walmart and burn massive amounts of wood to heat and cook. They use oil for lamps and heaters. All the greenhouses I saw were only used in early spring to finish off seedlings they buy from commercial growers.
@@jayejaycurry5485 well said and backed up - for a complete dipstick.
I'm ignorant. I didn't know Amish people use plastics?
Unfortunately we ingest micro plastics without realising it 😢
Designed anvintrigrated house/ greenhouse usinng all of these passive methods in 1971..but no money to build..plus a passive cooling fruit cellar/ house..all in one..oh well..
I did a quick search but could not find what anvintrigrated means, would you please let me know?
@christinaoliveryoung6019 an intigrated
Thanx. Now that makes sense. Too bad about the money and long delay of your home.
the Amish will survived the coming apocalypse
The sun. No kidding?
Ruined it with the 'Sun Screen' other than that great video, nice to see Wiki tagged it with a blue banner
To all the nay-sayers, you probably heat things with oil or propane. They do too. But take advantage of what's available. You probably have zero understanding of thermal batteries and basic thermal engineering. but keep laughing at them, while they keep taking your money.
I would love to hear about thermal batteries!! Is it something you can tell me about doing, or would it be easier for me to look it up on YT? VERY interested!
@@jamee_maree You can find lots of info online. It's a fascinating study. Worth it.
Take a drink every time he says "it's like.."
I was actually getting tired of the puns and lame jokes myself
No, do not always wear sunscreen... vitamin d3
Wish, i could live with them for some time...
Hold on a sec.... Amish can use power drills? I had no idea!
I like greenhouses but inside good warm.
The problem we have though is there is an evil lot of faceless controllers playing with our upper amopshere (cloud seeding) to block out the sun 😢
Some of these concepts apply at a smaller scale to chicken coops
This is a crappy video which uses the Amish name to market itself and make itself seem special. This is all basic thermodynamics or common sense.
And the B roll footage often has nothing to do with actual Amish people, like all the Witness clips, and clips of non Amish, or even the hydroponic still shot I saw. Definitely a crappy video. Largely inauthentic.
Yes, you’re overdoing the praise. The Amish do well and they’ve got a lot to tell.
Ironically, the green house is good science, the God stuff? Well God stuff. I will be using the science how ever.
If you place a greenhouse like this in the South you couldn't use it for 6-8 months of the year.
I know quite a few people who have them in the South and do well. As for me, I’m trying it for the first time and I’m in the South, so we shall see 🤷♀️😎
There so many greenhouses shown. Most were cheap crap. Which one were you referring to?
The Amish need to be kinder and take better care of their hard-working horses! And stop sending young overworked abused horses to the KILL LOT!
This is great information, thank you
Apart from the sunscreen!..just cover up after you've had enough sun
They don't use electricity , but they use polycarbonate , made from oil based products , so their rejection of the modern world is arbitrary
is their individuality force them to become a gang.
I like it
Just don't copy the Amish in the way you treat animals.
Just don't take the example of a few bad apples and apply it to a whole group of people.
You don't know anything about how they treat there animals. That would be the same as saying you are abusive to your car. Animals are very important to them they are more caring to them then you are to your dog or cat.
'How to heat something that is by definition self heating'
Amish using power tools...that the thing that struck me the most... ⁉⁉⁉
battery power is ok in most sects . Electricity is forbade only in the house. the animals in the barn have no soul. so its ok to have electricity out there.
@@paperburn Well, that seems a bit hypocritical to me... as for the animals having no soul.. well some have more soul than some humans.
@@saraswatih9703 Not my religion, take it up with the amish.
@@paperburn My reply was general, not specifically directed to you.
And I have nothing against the Amish.
On a trip to the USA, I went to visit a farm and had a meal there too.
People were really nice and the food was fantastic.
I have nothing but respect for the Amish and my comments saying that it seems a bit hypocritical was more of a surprise than a real concern. It was not meant to be insulting.
@@saraswatih9703 understood, The trouble with "texting" is there is no emotion conveyed. I had no issue with you .
They are brilliant about a lot. They do however use their horses hard then send them to slaughter when they are done with them.
