We just bought an old house with a stone and glass greenhouse circa 1948 attached. Incredibly cool space that we have just begun to refurbish. We need advice! Do you provide paid consultations - like a Zoom call & conversation? We have the original blueprints left to us by the 92 yr old owner labeling the Conservatory. Lol! The whole place is a diamond in the rough but it was this space that made us want it! Broken windows, termites, old terrible plumbing and all!

Yep. We get hail, too. I'll stick with the greenhouse plastic I can tape back together, if necessary. I use bricks in my tunnel for heat retention, too, and it's a good solid place to put my heater. I had some thick Styrofoam that go in garage door panels, and placed those around the walls. they really helped.
Good info, though.

We have 20x7 metres. Looking forward to build two more this summer. We do ourselves. For heating we use old style - bricks and wood. 5b - seeds starting starts in April and we have to use heating maybe one night per week when drops below 10 Celsius. I would love to share picture. Like gothic arch type

For Chris, I would buy another whole greenhouse and have separate solar systems for each that way you could have a back up greenhouse just in cause something happen to the power on one your would still have back up power also. i love that you can grow warmer weather trees and plants in doors year round.

This was an interesting video and very informative for those in a cold climate. Would it be possible to do one for those with the opposite problem in a hot, dry climate where you are trying to protect your summer and autumn seedlings from the heat without moving your garden into the house.

Briana bought the WRONG Polycarbonate. That is what is used for shower doors because it's been cast to be translucent. It is that way to deliberately blur what is on the other side.
Polycarbonate is as clear as glass. My eyeglasses are Polycarbonate.

Would love more info on low-cost hoop house builds, as hoop houses both pricier and more economical are what I m used to here in NE in my organic gardening experience. Love hearing about greenhouses too though, that s a dream!

I'm glad you added the gal from Colorado! I'm in New England, but much of the things she deals with are an issue here as well.
It's interesting to have different folks chime in, as everyone does things slightly differently.

Great video! We are thinking about the greenhouse as well. But our concern is the opposite of keeping the heat, we need to keep the greenhouse cooler instead. Any recommendations? Thank you!

How do you keep the flies out when you open the vents on the roof to let the heat out? My Greenhouse always has flies on the outside when it gets warm and if I open the door they come inside

I clicked on this because I liked the greenhouse in the thumbnail for the video. Since I did not see it in the actual video, do you have a link for it as well?

Super helpful video, thank you. Depending on where folks live, do you think in home grow tents may offer a comparable option to green houses? Thank you.

Thank you for this thoroughly detailed Informative presentation. The comparisons really piqued my interest. You both made it look relatively easy!

I wish I had the space for a greenhouse. We have one at the extension office where we start our seeds with my Master Gardener program.
