"...eat our way through a problem" Now you're speaking my language😂
Right? I chuckled when he said that.
My best respects for your continued works in long term innovations for a sustainable healthy and almost zero 'footprint' in organic agriculture! Gotta LOVE it!
Love your channel! So informative and also entertaining, such as chicken TV ... I have 30 chickens but I still love watching yours pecking around those wonderful compost piles (and I love when the mini roo makes an appearance!)
Your a beast dude! Always tinkering with compost capitalist engineering projects. Very inspirational. I think I am the only guy in northern Vermont with plants in the ground. Lets Go Spring!
I added some soaked alfalfa pellets to my very cold compost piles, and the temperature shot up to 165 degrees in a couple of days and remained hot for a couple of weeks. I can imagine using fewer pellets to create temps in the 70's/80's to make a hot bed for summer annual seedlings to get through the next few cold weeks. I love the heat vent and hydrating the pathways is an idea I'm definitely going to incorporate.
Sean, I love seeing these hoophouse tours! Thanks for the very thoughtful narrative, too. Have you experienced any rodent presence in your hoophouses? We have noticed a lot of vole damage in recent years but want to coexist with them if possible.
Good King Henry seed we save and sow a couple of months later. Sown January under cover, given 4 weeks cold stratification, they then with a bit of warmth pop up with very high %. Fresh seed and cold stratification.
I love your solar powered air to earth geothermal.
I think a cooling version might work for growing brassicas and lettuce in the summer,under shade cloth.
I've found germination of old (3+ years) lettuce to be pretty bad so I won't try it anymore....well, I say that, but of course I will!
Thank you for this nice update 🙏🏼
Woooh~!
Sweet ideas!
Hope the fam is doing well...
The compost heater is genius and like you said the price is right! Always neat and resourceful ideas on this channel love it! Keep it coming Sean
I would put the vents in the end wall.
Such creative ideas!
I have recently moved and had to let go of my p-patch. I have a new community p-patch near my new apartment. I put seeds in my new p- patch a couple of days ago. I planted with a sort of wild abandon. It is how I want to plant and you have always given me permission to abandon rows. Cheers!
I can’t tell from the video of the vents are square or rectangle. If rectangle could you turn them 90 degrees to install? Not the best for optimal air flow but it would probably work
sama as always learn a lot from your chanel thanks.
Great ideas! thanks for sharing
Awesome video. Great idea using bricks on compost.
Do you think putting some masonry on the paths to heat up during the day.
And using your great idea of pulling the plastic. Over the path to direct heat to the plants would help?
Ruby streaks seed lasts forever! I had some over 6 years old with very high germination
Damn how do you remember all this 🤔
Brilliant thanks for sharing 🐸💚🐸
You always have such inspiring ways. Thank you!
In shoulder season this tunnel, and tunnels within a tunnel are making about a 4 usda zone difference, since you have the same crops as I have outdoors right now
So many cool ideas. Could you use that compost heater for cuttings too? I've heard of that but haven't tried it. Where do you get your seed from?

I have a question then.
I have a raised bed. 8x4 x 2 feet or so," hooped, with poly, and I made an another smaller hoop inside that one.
I feel, I need to "open the big hoop" during rain, to water the whole bed, and yet the smaller one seems to not get watered and is not hydrated, will a channel help with drawing water to it, if I make it on the side of it, the 'smaller bed', like you did in the walkway?
I hope that makes sense.
Thank you very much!

Would help to give us the name of the plant. Want to know it this plant grows in Sweden.
