If everyone in business had this mans heart in sharing, while having good business sense to help others; everyone could be successful with good intentions to help others while following ones passion! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤
I purchased a 12 x 24 and will never regret it. Leon and his staff were stellar. We traveled to the meet and greet this spring and bought a high tunnel and some buckets. Our garden is incredible! All self wicking buckets and the fruits and veggies are coming in like crazy! Leon always answers my calls with any questions that come up. Excellent customer service and a wonderful man! Thank you so much Leon, you inspired me more than you’ll ever know. I’m so excited for next year!
@@jenniferarmer106 It does fine in very high winds. We had 50-60mph winds easily where we live and it was solid. You will love it. I already have my starters going for my second year and started mapping out what’s going inside. Good luck. 🍀
you all prolly dont care at all but does any of you know a way to log back into an instagram account?? I stupidly forgot the password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me
@Layne Keagan I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im trying it out now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Great math counting by fours! I was like look at him go! Great info again. Loe your demeanor and smarts. So direct with the knowledge. Great presentation. I wish you all the success in the world. I have shared your video too. 🥳
I just found this channel less than a week ago and I've already have 16 5 gallon buckets and 10 of the blue tubs. I have the pvc water fill pipe and a good planting soil mixture, with most of the correct fertilizers. Now I want one of these grow houses in the backyard. Thanks Leon it's gonna be our best growing and eating years ever.
I have never been able to grow anything to save my life! Ever since I stumbled across one of Leon's videos, i haven't been able to stop watching. My family makes fun of me because I always say, "well Leon says....." LOL!!!! Thank you so much for all your videos. They are so helpful! This is my first year to garden and it isn't perfect but I have got some stuff out of it. I am still learning. :)
Leon, I LOVE your videos! Your youthful mind paired with great wisdom and sharing are such a blessing for us beginners. One thing I haven't seen you mention, or maybe I missed it, is why your tunnels curve in at the bottom. Everyone else's have straight sides but your constant search for better ways makes me sure you have a good reason.
I built a 12x24 last year from an online kit for $245.00. It was great for the first 3 months. Just about the time for the first harvest we had a nice storm and woke up to about half the frame left and all the plants broken.
We sure do appreciate you! We're thankful too, for the technology that allows us to learn from you. We don't have space right now for a tunnel, but we are growing food in our wicking buckets, and loving it.
I worked for a Company here in Cincinnati called Rough Brothers. Watching this video brings back memories of the manufacturing of these types of houses. You do a god job providing important information.
Today is 9-10-20 and just found gardening with Leon this year. Retired now and able to work my passion for growing food! Would love information on you high towers if still available. Thank you Leon for very down to earth teaching and caring enough to share your knowledge so others can learn 💜
I just purchased a similar one for here on the prairies in Central Canada. Cannot wait to apply Leon's tips. Unfortunately I bought mine before discovering this channel.
I just found your channel Leon! Thanks so much for your videos! The wicking buckets are such a good idea, I can't wait to try it out. I'm currently in an apt, so unable to get a high tunnel at the moment. But I can use the wicking bucket on my porch!
Thank You Leon for all that you share and do! I've got to save up because getting one of Your high tunnels is top on my wish list. They are so amazing! Love, Peace, Joy and Happy Gardening
Leon, your high tunnels are obviously much stronger than the more simple hoop construction with rope or strap purlines. And the built out ends with installed doors is a much cleaner design than the caterpillar tunnels or even the scissor doors. I would appreciate a video with more details on the construction of the tunnels or maybe the "do it yourself" build process. It would be interesting to see details on rolling up the sides or using shade cloth in the summer. I'll be calling for pricing on something in the 12' - 14' x 48' range delivered to East Texas. I really enjoy your videos. You are delivering excellent gardening information in a plain spoken, gentlemanly matter. Please keep them coming!
I don't have land to do this... but I sure enjoy listening to you!! working on getting land and will use your advice and techniques as soon as I can... for now, thank you for all these videos and God keep you strong and healthy for a long long time!!
I would love a 12 X 24 or a 12 X 20 so much!!! We are in the process of getting a house built and as soon as it is finished I'm coming up to Kingston to talk to you about it! Thank you for all you're doing to help people grow things! We have come and toured your place and we cherished the tour you took us on and the time you spent showing us around and teaching us how to grow more food for ourselves! God bless you Leon! We look for forward to seeing you again soon. Hope you sell a lot of these, but also have enough supplies and energy for us also.
Good morning from roseville California! Just quickly want to say "thank you". Because of yiur channel I'm now having a wonderful backyard with beautiful plants and vegetables. My wife is ecstatic with cucumbers and tomatoes I have in our 5 gal buckets. A few are in soil and others growing using the wicking system. Not kidding nut my wife loves me even more than ever :) though she always has but says to me...much much more! I have one question: I have fertilizer that granules and is soluble and it's high in NPK. I know when to use to produce green leafs..what to use after plant starts to bloom etc. My question pertains to dwarf blood orange in containers... some say to use "fish emulsion" liquid as a fertilizer when your citrus blooms to create more fruits. Wont the granule fertilizer be more than enough which is high on PHOS..and Potass? Ty again.
Excellent information about using g high tunnels in backyard gardening. Seriously considering one for our garden. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I saw in one of your programs that you are considering using grow bags. I've tried them for 2 years and I'm going to sell them on craigslist (cheep). We even put them in garbage bags with little holes in the bottom of the garbage bags. It helped some but still the plants dry out too fast. We're in NW Arkansas. My husband is going to get tubs and I'll use them next year. I sure would like one of your houses. I'll have to figure out where to put it. I'll have to teach the horses to walk around it and not fiddle with it. I don't want it to be visible from the road. What is the black plastic for that on the tomatoes to your left. Thanks for this information. I'm going to tell everyone at church about your site.
I did a wicking bucket. It is great . I was seeing how mine plants could go in one 5 gallon buck and I have one pepper plant and 2 tomato plants. They are growing. I had to make sure to use the liquid fertilizer just like you said . Thankks for your help.
Redeemed Acres TN I’m in Memphis, TN. I would like a small 8 x 12 size for my backyard. I need a green house for year around gardening. I bet at least a dozen people in my area would buy one. Did you get one yet?
Leon, how can we get pricing options? Also, how well does the house do in heavy snow? Could you put one more post in it perpendicular to the bows running the length of the tunnel? I think this would do the trick. Thanks and I love your channel.
Leon. Regards from Argentina! Keep the content coming. I would like to have your opinion on aquaponics and if its a system that you consider commercially viable.
So in Florida we have such intense heat I was thinking this might help shield the plants from being scalded. Would this work in Florida or is this just for northern states.
@@janew5351 from what I have seen you really need a trailer. He occasionally uses a trailer that he has built a stand on so that he can carry them standing up (mostly) so they don't take up a lot of width on the roadway. Call Leon and he can give you more info. He loves to talk to people and give them all the help I can.
Is this deer proof. Currently my tubs and 55 gallon barrel is on my back porch. The deer eat most of my flowers and any tomatoes I tried to grow in wire cages. Would luv to get a 14 x 24 but it’s only worth the effort if I can keep the deer out. Thanks
Have you tried hot wire or electro-net from Premier 1 Supplies? It keeps a ram from the ewes so it should keep deer from the plants. Also put water containers outside the garden for the deer in hot weather. Sometimes all they really want is water.
...got my 10' X 20' poly house as a kit in 1995 still love to play in there...was only $2300.00 delivered from Atlanta...to Zone 6 Michigan...found out the bigger the house the easier it is to control temp inside...besides your gonna collect plants and run out of room soon anyway...lol...enjoy... learn to grow a few plants well rather than all of them poorly.... I figure I can produce 5000 plants in there if I wanted...
Hey Leon, what is the highest tunnel you have? Would it be feasible to grow semi and tropical fruit bushes and trees in a green house if you are in the North East? As an example, banana plants grow to a height of about 10 ft (depending on variety), would we need to heat the hot tunnel during the winter?
You know where you can get them for 5% of the cost of buying them in america? Order pipe from china, aluminum, steel, galvanized, ect. What ever you like. Buy I pipe bender, the also make a tool that expands the ends of the pipes or compresses them. You can make a 30ft by 100 ft high tunnel for less than $100. You can also buy irrigation materials or mounting brackets for lights, for rediculousy cheap. Go to alibaba . With the right design you can put up the tunnel with no tools in less than an hour.
I just called them. April '21. Can't promise on prices because steel material inflation keeps raising prices. Can't promise installation dates because steel suppliers are all backordered. It's the New Normal, unfortunately in USA.
We just had a record breaking snowfall here this year. February 2021 and my house I got from Leon did fantastically. The snow piled up about 8-10” and then just slid off down the sides. It does great with wind also.
You know your customer service is going to be great. You can tell this man's character is top notch!
Mr. Leon. THANK YOU GOD BLESS YOU. YOU ARE A KIND GENEROUS GIFT OF A MAN. LOVE FROM MICHIGAN
This man is old school from Oklahoma. Good people to the core

How does the tunnel hold up in wind

Leon is priceless! God Bless🙏🏻
Sales expertise at its finest.
I watched the video as I am considering a greenhouse and your "Half a House" is exactly the right size for my plan (side-by-side). Too funny.
I would say a green house is just like a garage. You build it and then realize it should have been twice the size!!
Wow, Leon, you rock! Bloody inspiring, gotta say. Wish I was in the US so that I could buy one of your tunnels!
Keep on keepin on 🙂

What a great idea for ventilation!
Sharing! Got my husband to finally understand the wicking tubs and now he's created 3 and did a small 5 galIon bucket! Thank you Leon for the videos..
I'm located in southeast Missouri!! Definitely need one ❤ thank you for all the info. God bless
Great video
I got to start saving!!
I want that 16x48..wow!
I'm in Soper ok.
Space is not a problem.
New sub!
...hope you have plan to sell off or move your harvest...I did Mum's one year...ended up with extra 300 plants ....lol
Today is 9-10-20 and just found gardening with Leon this year. Retired now and able to work my passion for growing food! Would love information on you high towers if still available. Thank you Leon for very down to earth teaching and caring enough to share your knowledge so others can learn 💜
I just purchased a similar one for here on the prairies in Central Canada. Cannot wait to apply Leon's tips. Unfortunately I bought mine before discovering this channel.
OMG... after watching this I got a bad itch to listen to some Roy D Mercer....
Thanks for this video it helped me to understand why I should get a bigger tunnel.
12x24 sounds like good sizeaybe one day a little high on price for me but looks like you build an awesome product
Wow these are really nice! Thank you Leon . God bless you all
I just found your channel Leon! Thanks so much for your videos! The wicking buckets are such a good idea, I can't wait to try it out. I'm currently in an apt, so unable to get a high tunnel at the moment. But I can use the wicking bucket on my porch!
I just found Leon this week. I’d love to have a 14x24. Wondering the cost.
Thank You Leon for all that you share and do!

It all looks and sounds great Leon-- such great information! I love the moveable clamshell greenhouse! I'm getting serious about ordering one.
Paul did you ever order one? What did you think
Excellent information about using g high tunnels in backyard gardening. Seriously considering one for our garden. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I love your videos!! Thank you for sharing them!!!!!
Thanks Leon I enjoyed learning about your Greenhouse/ High tunnels I hope you get many orders You can tell my looking at them there high quality

Please give us a start to finish diy... Thank you!!! I'm not a gardener yet, but wanting to be...
Your AWESOME!!!
Thanks for all the info Leon! I appreciate it!
i learn a lot , thank you.
Thanks Leon, enjoy ya !
You guys are amazing. I REALLY want one but I need to get in someplace big enough and will allow it. Thanks for all you do!
Strang in tha sprang. Love it
Will this hold 2' of wet snow? That's what I have to deal with not so much wind. We might get a guest of 40mph - 50 but it's rare. Thanx
I just found ya, thank you for these videos.
North Central Oklahoma here. My biggest question is how do they hold up to the wind?
Interested in one in Tennessee (1hr from Nashville). I hope to call soon and hoping we might be on a route.
Redeemed Acres TN I’m in Memphis, TN. I would like a small 8 x 12 size for my backyard. I need a green house for year around gardening. I bet at least a dozen people in my area would buy one. Did you get one yet?

Very reasonable price!
How do you anchor the tunnel down temporarily vs permanently?
Leon. Regards from Argentina!
Keep the content coming. I would like to have your opinion on aquaponics and if its a system that you consider commercially viable.
Ďuing the winter can you use this space for cold stòrage
Wish I had found your channel sooner😑 just bought a shelterlogic and I really don’t have high hopes for it.
harbor freight, now I dont want to go saying names! hahahaha
How much does something like this cost? Also, I'm a Montessori teacher in Dallas, TX... Would you be willing to come & help us set up...
Amazingly the answers to your questions are in the video
The best house for the money watch to end
Hello Mr. Leon. How much is the 12X 20 hoop house?
Are the bv red tubs available? What is the cost? Thank you, Debbie
Well .... now my guy went bigger ....16 x 48. Need more interest along the eastcoast!
Thank you for the information. My wife and I have applied for the high tunnel program. Do you do tours of your high tunnels??
Just about every Sunday.
So in Florida we have such intense heat I was thinking this might help shield the plants from being scalded. Would this work in Florida or is this just for northern states.
People build the frames and put what s called shade cloth on instead of 6 mil plastic.
Where do you get the clear plastic
I building a 23x8Hx10w
At Lowe's I purchased 10x100 to short
I'm in Kentucky, where are you located? Thanks
Can you explain how you anchor the skid type to the ground?
Are y’all still selling and delivering high tunnels?
Leon what do you have for us Canadian winter folks. I’m in Calgary Alberta and I’d love to extend my seasons but our winters are terrible
Is there an 8x8 size? Could you move all the pieces with a regular car?
@@janew5351 from what I have seen you really need a trailer. He occasionally uses a trailer that he has built a stand on so that he can carry them standing up (mostly) so they don't take up a lot of width on the roadway.

Sir can you grow root vegetables in the wicking buckets?

Look for UA-cam video called... Underground Nebraska greenhouse.
I want to come over to get high tunnel where you'll located at

Hows long does the plastic last and how much thanks
Yes where can we buy the stuff for high tunnel for Iowa
Are you still building these Leon?
Hi Leon. I have a smaller space. 12 x 16 if I am lucky.
You have a open invitation to Tucson PhilAm SDA church. So when you drive through town stop by. We will house you and feed you.
Love your comment! I wish I could come and fellowship with you all too! God is so good!
What material do you use to create the bows?
Must my property be as flat as where you are to install a tunnel?
Ha, good to know there are other gardeners here in El Paso. Thought I was the only weirdo trying to grow out in the desert here.
Zach... there are lots of folks that garden in El Paso. More would, but the water is too expensive.
#12 yeah!
What gauge steel is used in the tubing for these?
Is there a link for the buckets?
Do you have a price list someplace?
Ronda Jones call 580-564-5909 and Leon will text you a price list to your cell
Thank you!
I just called them. April '21. Can't promise on prices because steel material inflation keeps raising prices. Can't promise installation dates because steel suppliers are all backordered.
It's the New Normal, unfortunately in USA.
What kind of snow load can they handle?
That's the same question I have ? I lost my hoop house two springs ago to a heavy wet April snow
We just had a record breaking snowfall here this year. February 2021 and my house I got from Leon did fantastically. The snow piled up about 8-10” and then just slid off down the sides. It does great with wind also.
Leon that's a good name my Dad's name and my brother.
