Sorry to hear some of the responses to your Instagram post were doom and gloom. Seems to be a trend these days, even moreso on social media, to destruct and tear down. Your channel, with all the constructing and creating, is a great antidote. It's so easy to criticise and tear apart; making and remaking is so much harder (but is really where all the fun happens!)
Hello! I know that it is unlikely that you are thinking of designing a system to use geothermal energy for greenhouse air conditioning, but it would be very interesting if you could discuss the subject, please.
I kind of am, that was what I was hinting at at the start :) I did some tests with a thermometer in the found this year but haven’t got round to doing anything about it.
I love the mister idea, but where will the moisture evaporate to? I have a poly tunnel and live in a very hot dry climate. This year we had temps over 100F for several weeks! I have tried pretty much everything else to be able to grow tomatoes and peppers in the poly tunnel. I have it covered with a shade cloth, roll the sides up and have a vent and door in one end and a big fan in the other. It still gets up to 120F in the daytime.
If the humidity level is low (which it will be in your case) it will simply be taken into the air to increase the humidity level. What % is your shade cloth?
Thank you for the video and too bad about the losses of the food. It seems like the idea you had will work out with the fan and the shade.

@@BalticHomesteaders I’m not sure, we got it from a friend that used to be a nurseryman. It is woven and black, it looks to be maybe 60-70%?
Hello!! Maybe you can use a water evaporative air cooler.
@@joelrodriguez5115 that’s the third thing that I was eluding to at the start :)
