I've watched your videos for about 2 years and I know last year you added the wood stove. I just realized that both of your heat sources are on the same end of the greenhouse. Making 1 side constantly hotter than the other side. And maybe you want it that way so that you can grow more heat sensitive plants near the heat. And colder tolerant plants at the cooler side. Or would moving the stove or your pile make for a more uniform temperature if you had them at opposite ends of the greenhouse.
Thanks for being here! You’re correct, so the reasoning behind my stove placement was for safety. I had my solid back wall to tap into for the exhaust. Everything basically started by the work bench and evolved down the greenhouse and if I had to redo it I would extend my exhaust significantly and lower the stove a bit. If I only knew then what I know now lol! But really, I have learned a great deal more just experimenting and trying to move all the heat around or store it the best we can as cheap as we can. The next greenhouse we build will have years and years of experience going into its design. Thanks for checking all of this out!
Inspiring! I haven't got round to getting my greenhouse up yet but I'll be prepared for next year. Plan on installing some heat transfer systems like you have and prepping the base of the polytunnel before hand. Always appreciate these videos!
Love all your doing man and appreciate you sharing all you do. 🙌🏻 I love the size of your green house. I’ve been trying to figure the inside dimensions, and the size of those cattle panels. I’ve seen most cattle panels being 16 ft but the inside of yours looks larger than that… Would you be willing to share the dimensions? HxLxW?
It’s 52L x 10W x 7.5 H. All in foot measurements thanks for checking this out man! This has been an experiment since the beginning and I’ve learned a ton going forward with the next greenhouse. And the poly is about due to be changed on our greenhouse, not looking forward to that lol
@ Well love what your doing, I think millions of people need to be looking into this. I had no idea that these heating methods were a thing and it took me a while or research to find them. Thanks again, looking forward to your future adventures with it!
A greenhouse inside of a greenhouse is not a good idea. Because you are not thinking about winter. You already have something inside of your greenhouse that I would consider using if I had the same size of greenhouse as you, but I don't think it's the proper kind though. How flimsy, and weak your greenhouse materials are is something you should consider. I also have a greenhouse, but mine is smaller than yours, and I will not use it in the winter. I unlike you don't have enough space to build a greenhouse that is suitable to grow, and I am not referring to building a flimsy greenhouse within another flimsy greenhouse.
@@hoosierpioneer I already did. The flimsy material can either rip, or fly away, and this is something I saw happen before. After it rips, or flies away then cold air, or snow, or both can enter a greenhouse, and this would be bad for anything that is growing inside. My greenhouse is made with flimsy, and weak materials as well like the original poster, and since my greenhouse is smaller then I will not bother keeping it outside for the winter. If my greenhouse was bigger, and I had my own property then I could explore different possibilities to properly build a greenhouse. Yes, I have different ideas I would like to try to use for a bigger greenhouse, and all of my ideas should be good. Not one of my ideas consist of building a weak structure inside of another weak structure. Because this is a stupid idea!
This is our 5th year with this greenhouse growing year round. Why wouldn’t you at least try to grow something, seems a waste to have it and not use it. Yes poly is flimsy but we’ve had great success. And what you’re referring to I believe is the inner layer of the double layering we have. This greenhouse has had hundreds of pounds of snow on it before without fail.
@@Earthdwellershomestead I have different reasons why I am not using my greenhouse now, but I will be using it in 2025. I been spending a lot of my time researching gardening, so I believe I made the right decision to not use my greenhouse now. I made a huge mistake near the beginning of 2024. I did exactly what you said, and I learned an awful lesson. Everything I tried growing died, and I would like to try to prevent this from happening again. What I decided to do was near the end of 2024 to buy my greenhouse, so it is new. I have not used it yet, and I am not planning to use my greenhouse until 2025, and when it gets warm outside. Because where I live in December it gets cold outside, and I think Americans don't understand this concept too good, or maybe not at all! If you want to take risks then go ahead. I saw many people take risks on youtube, and ended up with bad results. Damaged plants, sick plants, and dead plants is what I saw on youtube, and for me I experienced having dead plants, so I have something in common with quite a bit of people!

Glad to see you’re kids involved too!
He’s always around and outside with me. Learning and playing all the time at the same time usually lol

Awesome! And thanks for watching and commenting, we’ve been procrastinating on the next greenhouse build lol. It’s a lot of work but well worth it!
nice bro
Great video!! I was wondering about lighting,
~ if you have any info about that I would be very grateful!!
That will be in the next video I believe, we set up our lights.
Love all your doing man and appreciate you sharing all you do. 🙌🏻

What zone are you in?
We’re in zone 5a/4b basically on the line of the zones.
@@Earthdwellershomestead You might be close to me! Im in Waynesburg Ohio very close to Canton

Tell us why it's not a good idea.
