We took our newborn to see the tree of life while camping in the Kalaloch campground. We touched a drop of water to his head; perhaps he will grow to love the outdoors like we do. #treeoflife #newborn #camping #olympicnationalpark

    Why would you have paving on the inside? You may need a concrete edge for the greenhouse to be screwed into, but that's it. Just seems strange having a greenhouse to put 'growbags' inside. IMHO much better to dig into the soil, with added compost great.

    • @AABackyard

      Hi! I put pavers down so I could put shelves inside the greenhouse for seed starting ETA: it also gives it a nicer, more complete feel. I did not intend to use this for planting directly into the ground inside.

      I don’t see leaking from the panels but from the ridge seam. I just accepted it as is and didn’t mind, as water can seem down between my pavers and away through the gravel and sand. Perhaps you could add some gaskets or door frame foam between panels that are leaking?

    Looking at getting a similar greenhouse. Can you tell me a little more about the weather your greenhouse endured? I believe you mentioned wind, hail and snow. I'm not sure how your weather would compare to say Tulsa, Oklahoma. Our snow volume isn't much but it can be wet and heavy. Wind and hail on the other hand can be monumental. Any feedback would be helpful. Thanks.

    • @AABackyard
      @AABackyard 2 роки тому

      I would definitely recommend anchoring it down based on the winds you’d get there. We have had some small branches and light hail that have fallen on and around our greenhouse that didn’t damage it at all. We got about 3-4” of snow and that didn’t bother it structurally either.

    Thanks for this wonderful video. I love wine and love to make it at home. But fermentation of fruit or juice, ie the manufacture of home wine, produces toxic alcohol. Is methanol harmful? Thanks, please explain.

    • @AABackyard
      @AABackyard 2 роки тому

      Methanol is harmful, but when homebrewing beer, wine, cider, or mead, typically you do not find any, or very little, methanol in your brew. The quantities you may find are very, very small and produce no adverse side effects at that concentration. However, if you are distilling alcohol to make hard liquor/spirits, if there is any methanol in your brew, it can become dangerous because you may increase the concentration of methanol by reducing the total volume of liquid. This is why there are so many regulations around distilling your own hard liquor/spirits.

    Hey, do you think this could be used as an outdoor office? I saw that Palram sells a smaller version. I’d install this inside my large screened in patio, so it will be outside of the sunlight. My two main concerns are air conditioning and keeping bugs out of it. I’d love your feedback on if you think a structure like this could be used as a realistic outdoor office space, especially considering that it won’t be subject to the same elements as it would if it were truly out under the sun. Thanks!

      hi! personally, I think this would be too warm to be a comfortable office. The polycarbonate "glass" panels and less than 1 mm thick. I have a wireless temperature sensor in mine that shows my greenhouse is typically 10-20F warmer than the outdoor air temperature, even outside of direct sun and with the doors open. However, if you give it a try I would love to see if you have a positive experience!
