I definitely want to try this for next year. The ground has had a thick snow/ice cover since mid-Dec until a few days ago, so, it's still too frozen to dig. But I'm thinking this wood be good for flower seeds that need to be cold before germination. Then when they are big enough, I could plant potatoes on the floor and just fill it with straw to get an early start on them. Otherwise, I likely have to wait until the end of May. Right now I have 3 doz chitting potatoes, and it's too cold to plant them outside. It's worth a try!

How do you keep it from flooding during rain? In the midwest (st louis), we can get storms which produce significant rainfall, and no matter how much grading / drainage you do on the surface, water will find a way in. Pretty sure you get storms in Maryland, so how do you keep water out?
We get lots of rain in Maryland. Never had an issue. That is a more clay bottom too. Unless water is running across the ground into it, I think you are fine.

Perfect timing! Today I'm assembling a smaller Juwel. Northern Delaware, absolutely flat yard, soil is 100% pottery clay. Raised bed is 8" so I'd be another 8" into the clay. Do you think digging down 16" into the clay might just fill with water? After 1" of yain a few days ago there's no longer standing water but the ground is a squishy sponge. Raised beds are totally soft. What do you think? Worth a try?

So if you live in a state that has a high water table and has torrential rains in winter do I build up my soil to then dig down 16”? Bc here this right now would be 16” of water. Our last frost date this year is end of March. TIA appreciate the info. Where do we find the plastic panels?
The cold frames I bought years back from Costco online. Unless your rain water is running into the cold frame, it really wont be an issue. the water soaks in around it.

Gary any advice Re: mini hoop house. I attached my first heavy duty greenhouse quality plastic on my raised beds with hoops (4x8 and 3x8). I seeded root crops (carrots, beets, parsnips and radishes, along with spinach). It was 55 degrees and sunny and with the plastic the temp of the raised beds hit 80 degrees with direct sunlight. Today it snowed. 🤦♂️ it’s 35 degrees and my plastic is covered in snow and the soil is back down to 40 ish degrees or lower. I’ve seen people place frost blankets over the soil direct to warm the soil temp. I’ve used frost blankets on the hoops but never so close to the soil. Will this help germination? I’ve seen people soak the frost blankets with water to help germinate carrots, can I use this technique to germinate all these root crops and spinach?
At 40 degrees your cool crops are fine. You're working on getting the top 4 inches of soil to stay in the 40s and 50s regularly and the hoop house should do that. The heat from the day will help with germination too. The only worry really comes for prolong freezes where your soil and plants might freeze for an extended period. It wont kill them but it slows germination and growth down.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN what about onion transplants? I’ve been hardening them off for a few days, intending to put them out in a week or two because I started them in small cell trays I’m worried they are running out of room and I don’t want to pot them up, i’d rather plant them out. We still have freezing temperatures at night in zone sevena do you think I could still get them out or should I wait until April?
@@titanart6225 I have the same dilemma. I have brassicas, onions and lettuce ready to be transplanted but I couldnt even put them inside the unheated greenhouse because its going to snow for the whole week. I guess I wont be able to plant them in the ground till the last week of March or mabe first week of April. Im in zone 6ab.

I'm going to spill my conundrum in hopes that maybe either you or someone else can offer some advice. I am building cold frames on the side of my greenhouse... my new greenhouse fluctuats from 100° F and 30° in 24 hours. Does a great job holding that sun heat during the day and at night the temp drops to freezing. I live in a swampy area. So... If I dig down 8-10" I have a puddle not a cold frame. I'm looking for consistency of temperature but not sure how to achieve it. Would it be possible to dig down to get the heat then backfill with lava rocks or pea gravel to keep from drowning my plants (in 10×20" flats)?
So I am not sure. It would be better than the ground using stone. The heat could rise up. If the water isn't freezing then it is staying at 32 degrees. I am just not sure how much benefit you would get if the air temp drops below freezing. I always say, it's worth an experiment.

One video I watched mentioned building up insulation around the base when colder, with straw, leaves etc. could even use insulation bats. Watched some videos on passive solar greenhouses that use black barrels to hold water which attract and hold heat better. Just do smaller.

How do you keep it from flooding during rain? In the midwest (st louis), we can get storms which produce significant rainfall, and no matter how much grading / drainage you do on the surface, water will find a way in. Pretty sure you get storms in Maryland, so how do you keep water out?
We get lots of rain in Maryland. Never had an issue. That is a more clay bottom too. Unless water is running across the ground into it, I think you are fine.

Curious, do you use pressure treated boards?
I do. I am not worried about boards nowadays for decades it's just been copper. And copper leaching would actually kill plants before it got to a level that would be harmful to us. Leaching is a bit overblown. Good luck.
How warm should a greenhouse be kept to keep pepper and tomato seedlings safe to grow healthy?
At night for great growth 50 and 80s during the day.

Perfect timing! Today I'm assembling a smaller Juwel. Northern Delaware, absolutely flat yard, soil is 100% pottery clay. Raised bed is 8" so I'd be another 8" into the clay. Do you think digging down 16" into the clay might just fill with water? After 1" of yain a few days ago there's no longer standing water but the ground is a squishy sponge. Raised beds are totally soft. What do you think? Worth a try?
Excellent. Mine is clay too and no issues. We get tons of rain.

Does using this type of sunken cold frames eliminate the need to harden off your warm weather plants?
It does yes. They have to spend time in here and they get use to the sun. Well... several weeks in here gets the ready.

what the eff is a geothermal codlframe? quite, quite brilliant!
The depth in the ground actually regulates heat so that space stay above freezing. I can harden off plants and grow when my above ground is still frozen.

So if you live in a state that has a high water table and has torrential rains in winter do I build up my soil to then dig down 16”? Bc here this right now would be 16” of water. Our last frost date this year is end of March. TIA appreciate the info. Where do we find the plastic panels?
The cold frames I bought years back from Costco online. Unless your rain water is running into the cold frame, it really wont be an issue. the water soaks in around it. But you can put stones or mulch the bottom. My soil is clay that deep and we gets tons of rain. Never had an issue.

Gary any advice Re: mini hoop house. I attached my first heavy duty greenhouse quality plastic on my raised beds with hoops (4x8 and 3x8). I seeded root crops (carrots, beets, parsnips and radishes, along with spinach). It was 55 degrees and sunny and with the plastic the temp of the raised beds hit 80 degrees with direct sunlight. Today it snowed. 🤦♂️ it’s 35 degrees and my plastic is covered in snow and the soil is back down to 40 ish degrees or lower. I’ve seen people place frost blankets over the soil direct to warm the soil temp. I’ve used frost blankets on the hoops but never so close to the soil. Will this help germination? I’ve seen people soak the frost blankets with water to help germinate carrots, can I use this technique to germinate all these root crops and spinach?
At 40 degrees your cool crops are fine. You're working on getting the top 4 inches of soil to stay in the 40s and 50s regularly and the hoop house should do that. The heat from the day will help with germination too. The only worry really comes for prolong freezes where your soil and plants might freeze for an extended period. It wont kill them but it slows germination and growth down.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN what about onion transplants? I’ve been hardening them off for a few days, intending to put them out in a week or two because I started them in small cell trays I’m worried they are running out of room and I don’t want to pot them up, i’d rather plant them out. We still have freezing temperatures at night in zone sevena do you think I could still get them out or should I wait until April?
@@titanart6225 I have the same dilemma. I have brassicas, onions and lettuce ready to be transplanted but I couldnt even put them inside the unheated greenhouse because its going to snow for the whole week. I guess I wont be able to plant them in the ground till the last week of March or mabe first week of April. Im in zone 6ab.
Humidity raises the heat too
Thanks

would a cold frame work on concrete?
Sure. I think you will need a jackhammer, though.
They do. The cement might hold some heat too. But they would heat early and let you seed start in them and transition out transplants

Personally I like this better than let's say a hot bed , there is the compost after use of hot bed , but for amount of work and performance this is my choice .
I really like this. It is clean a simple at the right depth.

I'm going to spill my conundrum in hopes that maybe either you or someone else can offer some advice. I am building cold frames on the side of my greenhouse... my new greenhouse fluctuats from 100° F and 30° in 24 hours. Does a great job holding that sun heat during the day and at night the temp drops to freezing. I live in a swampy area. So... If I dig down 8-10" I have a puddle not a cold frame. I'm looking for consistency of temperature but not sure how to achieve it. Would it be possible to dig down to get the heat then backfill with lava rocks or pea gravel to keep from drowning my plants (in 10×20" flats)?
So I am not sure. It would be better than the ground using stone. The heat could rise up. If the water isn't freezing then it is staying at 32 degrees. I am just not sure how much benefit you would get if the air temp drops below freezing. I always say, it's worth an experiment.

One video I watched mentioned building up insulation around the base when colder, with straw, leaves etc. could even use insulation bats. Watched some videos on passive solar greenhouses that use black barrels to hold water which attract and hold heat better. Just do smaller.
A simpler and more effective method is to place your coldframe over a compost pile... A lot of free heat is generated by compost

Those are 2x8 not 1x8.
Well they must round up drastically.
