Any suggestions? I recently purchased a small greenhouse this summer and put it in an area that receives full sun. When I moved my cacti and succulents into the greenhouse they all began to die. Does anyone know what went wrong?
Wow nice 👍
i am starting a greenhouse and i really needed this
Wow ! Finally someone who answered all my questions in 1 video. You are awesome & smart as a wipe. ! Love ur garden 💙 Look how much fresh food u have ! You are what u eat. 💚 I want to build an attached greenhouse at my ranch in Arizona. It would help heat the house , it provides oxygen also from the plants. What do u think ? Have u ever tried to grow fruit trees inside the GH ? Do u think its better to just keep the polinator plants outside to control pests on the other indoor plants ? I want to grow & harvest all year just in the Greenhouse. Use flat black color barrels full of water to absorb heat during day & release at night. ❤
Very correct information.
I find in many of these homestead type gardens they donot get the concept of cool or warm crops.
Also you didnt get into the proper watering techniques. The most important fact is to water when soul is dry…never water if soil is wet!!! Or the extreme importance of ventilation especially during the warmer temps.
Bumblebees are one of the best veggie pollinators out there. You can even buy bumble bee or make houses for them. Plant lots of sunflowers and red bud trees around your green house Bumblers love those.
My greenhouse is just being constructed. Please want to see a tour of your greenhouse
Hello Kareen, thanks for the great tips. I am using a hoop house for the first time and had to discover so important facts out just in time, such as transforming from cold to hot crops, when to water etc. I am now listening to your video again to get more info on soil amending in my hoop house. Thanks for being here. Lillian
This was very informative.
Such great information! Thank you!
next year here in québec, in march I will put in the soil of my little greenhouse a heater cable (for roof).
I am building a greenhouse now. Your tips were very useful. Thank you for sharing with us.
Will my wood rot due to the moisture?
Hello..enjoyed your tips..this is my first year with a greenhouse (10×10) appreciate your information. I’m zone 7b . If I may ask your zone. It would help me judge my timing on taking my seedling out into mine. Blessings
This was great, been searching for "best organic soil for vegetables" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried – Fonillian Uncomplex Future – (do a google search )?
It is a smashing one off guide for growing up to 10 times more produce using aquaponics without the headache. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my m8 got amazing success with it.
thanks for the awesome tips. We have just purchased our first greenhouse and I am so excited. I am new to this, so I’m trying to figure out where to begin. I guess the first thing to ask is do you keep any of your vegetables in the greenhouse all year round or do you transplant some. I was hoping that we could build a raised garden within our greenhouse and I could plant my seeds directly into that. Or is it best to have both (inside and outside). I am in Canada, so our growing season is like Montana’s very short 🙂
We have an 8×10 green house that was somewhat successful last season. Couple of thoughts…do you have a temperature range for inside the greenhouse you are hoping for? We installed several screened vents along both the bottoms of the east and west sides as well as the south side door. We have a large window on the north side and the whole roof is polycarbonate sheets. The south, east, and west sides are all solid wood with no light coming in on the walls. Is that setup enough natural light? Might we need a fan? There is no option for electricity so have you had luck with a solar option? Lastly, we had an issue w small red aphids (I believe) all over our peppers only that i think caused most detriment to them. How can I eliminate those? I know this is a large comment but I am hoping you can respond. Thanks!
Great info. We are building our first greenhouse.
I’m in northern Idaho, so this was super helpful
Glad to find you, thanks for the info, I’m new to the greenhouse life so I’ll definitely keep in contact with your video… thanks again
🤙🏻💜🧘🏻♂️
Do you usually container grow in the greenhouse?
Your video was very helpful. I am a newbie.. and enjoy it lots, especially during this pandemic it has become soothing. I have a small raised bed where I plant peppers etc. I am interested in building a greenhouse but have a few questions. Are the greenhouses in addition to gardens? I live in an area where warm months are very few and in order to keep we have used frost clothes, but I wanted to know if it replaced the garden? Also, do you have a guide as to what plants survive well within the greenhouses? THANKS again
Can u do a video on fertilizer on your transplant plants
I loved the sound of the rain!
We have an off grid location we will be adding permaculture to in the WY/SD area. We are very interested in being self reliant. Thank you for all your "zone 4" knowledge! It is invaluable to us.
Well explained. God bless You..😇
have you tested your rain water for metals?or maybe there is not much geoengineering in Montana.Love your greenhouse.have you tested the snow also for metals?
Really glad I found this channel. I’m in the same area and climate (having mixed snow and rain right now, 34°F…May 23…). Just putting the finishing touches on my 12×20 hoop house today. Installing a storm door and vent window on front and back walls. Picked up some seedlings from HD yesterday and they’re under a plastic tunnel I made out of leftover greenhouse film and put inside the greenhouse. Hopefully the low temps don’t hurt them.
I have zero experience at this so I’ll definately be tuning in. I need to plant these seedlings by tomorrow before I leave to go to work on monday for a week or so. Do you think it’s too cold to plant them with this weather we’re having? I got tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, peppers, corn, etc.
Thanks for the help.
Super informative. The soil mix is excellent you can tell by the plants and preach on about the microbial and earthworm part of it🍂
Nice Video! Forgive me for chiming in, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you heard about – Parlandealey Impetigo Goodbye Process (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is a great one of a kind guide for learning how to grow your own organic vegetables using hydroponics without the normal expense. Ive heard some great things about it and my cousin after a lifetime of fighting got astronomical results with it.
This was such a helpful video for me. Thank you so much! I’ll be putting up a greenhouse the spring, and your tips for watering and considering pollinators are excellent.
Good morning. I live in Toronto .I love to planting . I have a green house last years. In the winter I still like planting some vegetables in my house .Can you show what’s the soil and vegetables can grow in door of my house . Thanks
My name is Kenny from northern Kentucky look up the history of biochar for gardening tell everybody knows pass it on
Thanks for the tips! We are also new at this Green world, just got a green house to raise our veggies in our yard. We are from Finland 🇫🇮
Nice
What about Central Florida? Any tips?
Some friends just built a steel and polycarbonate greenhouse for me. I have NO experience with greenhouses so will be your grateful student. I am in zone 6b and the greenhouse gets really hot. Where can I get the shade cloth you mentioned?
Thanks for sharing. We are going to put up greenhouse this year. First time. You have some great tips for cold climate. We are in Alberta. Will be visiting your channel.
Great video! We’ve had similar success in our greenhouse in north idaho!
Very cool! Thank you for sharing!
If you upgraded your greenhouse with basic hydroponic systems, you’d be able to grow all year round, use 90-95% less water and far less fertiliser/nutrients, and plant 4-5 times more densely (which saves space).
Lovely video, thank you! This is my first year growing in a greenhouse and I learned a lot from this.
Wow amazing! new friend here. Im sending you my all support🔔. Hope I get back too Thanks see you around.
Can’t you continue to grow all plants i side the GH all summer? (Warmer season plants)…with roof venting and cross ventilation available?
This is very useful information
I’m in Island Park, Idaho, so this was great.
Thank u very much
Great insight about getting the pollinators in 🙂 Can’t forget them!
Trying to learn about greenhouses and how they work. Why would you have plants in your greenhouse in July?
Your video popped up in my feed today! I loved your informative vlog! New subscriber from north central Wisconsin forest land.
