I can't thank you enough for sharing all of your experiments and experience! You've given the rest of us a wonderful head start by allowing us to learn from everything you've tried! I know this video gave me some better options than I was planning! Back to the drawing board to make some changes! I'm glad someone found this video and got it spreading around finally too!
@@HumanWisdom I too want to Thank you for your diligence and sharing your passion and what you’ve learned. For those of us without the building skill, have you any plans one could obtain to replicate a greenhouse like this? I live in the Interior of Alaska, with very similar weather conditions, being self sufficient here is critical. Again, many thanks, be well!
@@kathleendroege4515 Thank you very much for your kind note! So far, I have built 'experimental' unheated greenhouses and tried to continuously improve their thermal efficiency. Last summer we have built an improved 'prototype' of such a greenhouse in cooperation with an organic farmer in Quebec, Canada. In the process, we encountered a few aspects that allow a few more improvements... In the meantime, I have also tried a couple of new experiments with some encouraging results, which give hope for an even better thermal performance... This is to say that I do not think we have 'exhausted' all/most possibilities... and I feel a bit unease to present a set of drawings and say 'This is the way to do it'... knowing that chances are that after not too long we may be able to come up with an even better performing solution... These continuous experiments in the last couple of years also took so much time that I was not able to put together and publish several updated videos for which I gathered the necessary imagery... Yet, so far, I have answered every single request that I received from people who wanted to build right away a greenhouse based on what we know now... So in case you are in this situation, you can send me an email with some info about your specific goal and info, and I will be glad to answer. My email address is hw@humanwisdom.ca
This is one of the most educational resources on innovative and sustainable greenhouse systems available. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing discovery
This is one of the most relevant and inspiring videos I have seen in many many years. As a gardener in an Ontario zone 5a area I share your desire to produce fruit that is not hardy in my zone. You, my friend, have a new devout follower. I will look forward to learning more about your amazing experiments. Many thumbs up!
I'm happy that you didn't give up when you were told you wouldn't be able to grow what you wanted. Nothing is impossible you just have to find a way to make it work. Good for you sir for being persistent.
Thank you very much for your humbling words! I sincerely dream of the moment when more and more people will start growing locally and offer their families delicious and organic fruits, beyond local climatic limitations...
I do approve 👍 you are ready for mission on Mars!:)))) It is very pleasant to see the positive achievements of hard working people, thanks for sharing!
With pleasure! I think you are touching a very important aspect here, and I thank you for that! I deeply believe there actually ARE many, many passionate and creative people dedicated to and appreciative of plants, trees and vines that are generously providing our vital food… And as more and more of these people will see that we can extend our growing season and expand the varieties of fruits that we can grow in a 'low tech', ecologic and sustainable manner in climates considered so far 'less than ideal' for growing food... we will be amazed by the food abundance these wonderful people will generate everywhere they live...
I'm age 80 and over the last 20 yrs created a 1 of a kind tropical jungle all around my house in Bal Harbour-MB, Fl. I sure wish I had the skill, knowledge and energy to create what this video shows because we are fresh fruit aficionados and if I were 40 yrs younger this would be my fantasy wish fulfillment. BRAVO!
Thank you for your note and congratulations for the tropical jungle you have created! I would love to see some pictures and learn from your experience if you would like to kindly share some. Here is my email address: hw@humanwisdom.ca . Best regards from Montreal, Canada!
Thank you for doing this! I have taken a few screenshots of the different designs. I haven't much space but have desire to use what i have to do better. If we dont try to do better then sadly the situation WILL be dire . May i add a virtual hug to you and your good wife.
Thank you so much for your kind message and warm hug! You are so right - it would be a pity not to try doing the best we can with what we have, in domain / project that we like a lot! I wish you best success! Dan
When living in Idaho I visited a friend's house that had a glass lean to like yours with metal arches. There was a tiny wood stove inside of it. Her home was brick. She had a low vent going into her home and a high one. A small fire in that stove heated her greenhouse at night and her entire large home. It was amazing as the greenhouse wasn't that large. It was truly an amazing set up.
Wonderful!! Just brilliant, God so simple, yet so,so powerful! If only our government cared that much, this could drastically change our lives. Thanks so much for sharing 💝
I have a spot I set aside for a greenhouse and have been paralyzed with indecision on how. You have inspired me with your hard earned experimentation and lessons learned! Thank-you East Kootenays BC
I am very glad to hear that you now have a better image of your green project. I noticed that quite a lot of people tend to 'jump' into building or buying a greenhouse before clearly defining their 'green goals' and implicitly what kind of a greenhouse they should build/buy... And often times they end up being disappointed... I wish you best success and enjoyment of your project!
@@FelonyVideos Enjoy!! I am in South Dakota and have started 11 avocado trees and three lemon trees. Yes, it's taking years! This year is, hopefully, the construction of the subsurface greenhouse.
I'd like to add my appreciation to those whom have already expressed it. This is valuable information for us all to use. You have saved us all years of work - Thank you for your generous willingness to share.
Thank you very much for your kind words! The more of us will start growing locally delicious and organic fruits and vegetables for their families and communities, the more we will all enjoy and benefit from a healthier lifestyle.
Thank you very much for your kind words! Actually I deeply believe there are an IMMENSE number of wonderful people on Earth... It's just that somehow our talents and creativity have been diverted away from great human goals... I am convinced that we can all turn the current challenge into a powerful MOTIVATION to reconsider our destiny on this planet and create an unprecedented abundance of healthy food - as a great start into a new Human Era!
Thank you for never giving up. You are truly a great pioneer and Inspirational Human being and a Humanitarian. Your wife is Awesome for encouraging your dream as well.
@@HumanWisdom Thank you so much for subscribing. It all came from bottom of my heart as I know how much work and effort you have put in to dig only one of those projects let alone everything else. Well done again 🙏
I live in North Dakota USA. After seeing your sun terrace I’m absolutely mesmerized and would LOVE something similar! Your greenhouses are genius! Thank you for the video!
I'm not sure if I'm more impressed with your carpentry skills or your work ethic. I've built some decks, and a three foot deep hole for the posts is several hours of work, and that doesn't come close to some of that trench work. And those laminated arched rafters? I'm not positive I know a carpenter that could put those together. This is a great inspiration! (And my young son wanted to send his congratulations for your fruit.)
@@shodospring Great! With a son passionate about fruit trees, a shop and the motivation to build a great green project you are on your way for something that you and your family will cheer and be proud of!
This is one of the best videos on the subject matter I have ever watched. Thank you for posting it. I, myself am trying to retrofit my 8x8ft greenhouse to store my semi-tropical trees next winter. I live in USDA Zone 8+ where we seldom get snow, but quite often the temp drop unexpectedly. The figs and persimmons grow well in the ground without protection. However, unlike the trees you are growing which are deciduous and do require chilling hours, the sapotes, jaboticabas, the icecream trees, and the sugar apples do not. My fear is that even if the temps inside are high enough not to kill them, the trees will still sustain too much stress to the point where it will stunt their growth.
Thank you very much! I am glad to hear about your green project - in zone 8 you can create a real fruit paradise! I understand your concern but, although I did not build yet a P4Z greenhouse in a warmer climate than zone 4 and 5, I have no doubt there would be no issues. In the last couple of years I did a couple of small experiments and managed to pass the winter with some hardier citrus plants which kept all their leaves while outside we had minimum winter temperatures between -20 and -30 Celsius (-4 and -22F) for an extended period of time of 3-4 months. The other very good thing is the lack of the wind factor in the greenhouse - which makes a huge positive difference for the plants and trees inside. I wish you all the best in all your future green projects!
You have so many wonderful ideas and I love greenhouses and gardening year round, I'd love to have more information on how to get started when you don't have a lot of money. So inspirational and challenging to be sure but if you can do it in Canada, it can be done anywhere. Great job, I'm glad to have found you on utube.
Thank you Sharon! It's interesting that you mentioned this! Last November I realized that some people may not have enough money or space to build a greenhouse… and I built an affordable gardening module for cold climates. I will prepare a video as soon as I will have the first results at the end of winter.
@@TheBorgCollective I intended to prepare that video at the beginning of summer, but this year got very busy with more and more interesting 'green projects'... and I had to delay the finalization of a few new videos. I am sure I will be able to do that in the next couple of months.
You'll certainly be one of the forefathers of the so much needed ecological sustainable organic. zero-emmitting carbon. future's society that must come. Hats off to you Mr. Congrats 👏👏
Thank you very much for your humbling words. I sincerely dream of the moment when more and more people will start growing and offering their families and communities an abundance of delicious and 100% organic fruits, beyond local climatic limitations...
It seems you have improved on the very expensive and very impractical Conservatory and even made it affordable. Amazing. Simply amazing. My deepest gratitude to you for sharing what you have learned so others may benefit.
wow....that's love. I started planting last year for the first time in my life. Turns out i had a green thumb and nothing i planted or cared for died. This is such fantastic information. I'm really thankful for all of this.
I am hugely impressed by your capacity for work. Thank you for recording your experiments so well and for sharing your findings. You're right. It is not just desirable to produce high-quality food in many locations. It is vital if we are to ensure the availability of food to everyone. We have seen what happens when there are "supply chain problems". If a wide variety of food is produced locally, those problems become much less serious or go away completely. You are an inspiration.
Thank you for your wonderful work and the generosity of spirit - such abundance that requires no additional heat source to thrive in the cold winter months
Your work is incredible! You and your wife and family/friends have accomplished so much. What a joy to look at. Congratulations and thank you for sharing!
Thank you for sharing the fruits of your labor! This is an absolute good and inspiring video! The labour of love & goodness which gave such a wealth of information is truly heroic! We must use what you have generously shared as a model to produce for ourselves clean food that nourishes not only ourselves, but also our communities! Thank you ever so much! Blessings to you and your family. 🥰👏❤️🙏
Thank you so much for your heartwarming note! You are so right, now that we know we can go way beyond our local climate limitations and grow a large variety of healthy fruits in a simple and ecologic manner nothing should stop us from doing that as soon as possible in all parts of the world… It only depends on us... and I am hopeful that we will see those wonderful fruits quite soon!
Great presentation, I especially like the arched laminated lean to greenhouse. I have an old barn that would be well suited to this sort of experiment (zone 5) Thanks for the ideas and best of luck on your future projects.
You are extremely kind Sir! I am just a simple man who adores these beautiful and generous fruit trees and grapevines, and also has a lot of motivation coming from deep personal reasons...
12 minutes in and already very excited. Thank you so much. Recently purchased 25 acres in New York zone five, I’ve been contemplating running similar experiments, this information is extremely valuable.
videos like this and people like you are the best inspiration for the change we need and for a lot of people, myself included. thank you for sharing your year long expierence
Thank you for sharing, I’m starting my off grid journey in the North, and a greenhouse is near the top of the list. I’m in the same climate zone in ON.
Excellent information! You and your wife are incredible people. Hardworking & resourceful to say the least. The determination it took to follow through with all of your experimentation is such a joy to have watched. Thank you for sharing that journey & information with us. What I took away from the information in your video was that we can grow whatever we like & extend our season in this northern hemisphere by 2-4 months. That is just enough time to grow ample food to preserve it for the harshest months of the year. You have inspired me to begin my own experimentation with erecting a greenhouse! Thank you!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We wish you best success and enjoyment of your own green project and we are sure you will become an inspiring example to many other people in your region!
Thank you so much for sharing your greenhouse building experience! Also, thanks to everyone who has shared their great ideas in the comments! I'm in zone 7 and have a strong desire to grow most of our own food from heirloom (non-GMO) seeds without chemicals throughout the year. Your indoor orchard was especially inspiring, because I love apricots and they are frequently eliminated by late frost. I appreciate the opportunity to learn to build a greenhouse that will make this possible. Love and blessings to all! Namaste
Thank you for your kind note! In zone 7, with a thermal efficient unheated greenhouse you can create a real 'fruit paradise' and provide healthy food year-round to your family as you wisely set up your goal. I wish you best success and enjoyment of your green project!
Honestly I started watching this intending to learn a bit by skipping through, but before I knew it I watched it beginning to end. I love your enthusiasm, hard work, and your drive that allows you to not fear failure, or if you do fear it to overcome that fear. Great video!
Well done! Bravo on the incredible endeavors. Low-Tech Organic shows how possible it can be and not turn into an energy consumption monster. Thank you for thinking outside the box and that forethought to follow through. Thank you to your wife and brother-in-law for lending their physical and emotional support, as well as, the neighbor with the water access idea. I am in Central Texas and will find my way to this method of food Management. Hats off to all the hard work and documents.
Thank you very much for your thoughtful note! I assume you probably are in climate zone 7 or 8. If that is the case, with a thermal efficient unheated greenhouse you can create a real 'fruit paradise' there! I wish you best success and enjoyment of your green venture!
Thank you very much for your kind words. Now that we know that we can grow a lot of fruits beyond our local climate limitations in an affordable and sustainable manner let's all do our best to fully benefit.
THIS IS SO SO SO AMAZING! I'm in zone 5a, st. john's newfoundland - where wind and cold are the biggest challenge! This makes more more excited about using your lessons as I move forward in my climate! I could absolutely use loads of your wisdom forever! Thank you so much for sharing everything!
Wow! I discovered your video yesterday, and I walked around in a happy trance the whole day. I couldn’t wait to show it to my husband when he came home from work. Your greenhouse is truly a vision from God. We live in the Black Hills of South Dakota, about a mile high in elevation, with a zone between 4 and 5. We have lived here for a year and grew a small vegetable garden this summer with limited success. The cold weather just came too early. We had previously lived in western Colorado and then Arizona, where we could have beautiful fruit trees and very productive gardens. I was very disappointed with our garden this summer! We are currently living in an apartment with a very small yard, and we are hoping to buy a house with some land soon. So we have been looking into ways to build an inexpensive greenhouse (when we get our land) that could extend the growing season a bit. When I watched your video it was like a beautiful dream that couldn’t possibly be true, yet it was! The scenes of your barn-greenhouse are absolutely enchanting. I’ve never seen such beauty indoors! It is truly a blessing from God to discover that we people in the northern climates can grow our own beautiful fruits and have many more months of vegetables. The Black Hills has hundreds of old barns dotting the hillsides, abandoned and falling apart, how incredible that would be to turn them all into fruit orchards! We have been concerned for many years with the centralization of farming and our dependence on supermarkets. The corporate grown food is unhealthy and people have lost their connection with the land and growing things, also unhealthy. I believe your vision is of extreme importance at this moment in time, and I agree that we must waste no time in creating local food supplies. Many experts are saying that food shortages are just around the corner. Another thing your film shows is how beautiful life can be when we focus on our own spot on the planet - our village - and create our food independence. And with your vision and innovations even people in the colder climates can do this! I loved your other video, “growing organic fruits,” very beautiful, and I loved how you used the Adagio from Beethoven’s Emperor for the background. I am a concert pianist (who loves gardening) and I performed the Emperor a couple of years ago in Arizona. The Adagio is divine music, for me it expresses the Peace of God. A perfect accompaniment for your divine vision. May we contact you by email next year when we hopefully have land and can start building a greenhouse? My husband is a good builder, but I’m sure we’ll have questions. I’m hoping we can find land with an old barn!! All the land here has hillsides, so a hillside greenhouse might be another possibility. Sorry for the very long comment, but I am so inspired by your vision, and I do think it is an extremely important vision at this time in our history, and surely a gift from God through you. I hope lots of people start building these greenhouses, I’m sure it would then start catching on to many other people. This idea could save many people from starvation. Thank you for all your work in creating this and giving your vision to us! Thank you thank you Multumesc 😊 Kathryn
Dear Kathryn, thank you very much for your deeply touching note! It is a profound joy to see people like you who look at the possibility of growing locally a wide variety of fruits in colder climates in such an enthusiastic and constructive manner. I am very glad to hear about your plan to build a green project and I will be happy to answer any questions that you and your husband may have - here is my email address: hw@humanwisdom.ca I think it is a great chance to have so many older barns in your region that could be converted in organic indoor orchards - and I am sure your initiative to start such a project will inspire many other people. It was a sincere pleasure to read your admirable words about the sublime Adagio - particularly coming from a passionate concert pianist like yourself! As I mentioned in another note below, during the last couple of years I have done some further experiments trying to see how far we can 'push' the thermal efficiency of an unheated greenhouse and if we can build a year-round greenhouse in which we could grow subtropical fruits in zone 4/5 - and the preliminary results are very encouraging. I have been so busy with these projects that I did not have the time to put together the information and images for an update video, but I will be working on that in the next few weeks. I wish you and your husband best success and enjoyment in your future green project! Cu sincera bucurie! Dan
Thank you very much for your kind message! I don't like to talk 'in advance' but based on a few on-going experiments I would dare to say there are some promising things in front of us...
You have had an amazing journey! Thank you for sharing your experiment and what you have learned along the way. I am in zone 3B in the upper Laurentides, so you give me hope to expand my garden!
Thank you for your note! In zone 3b, with a thermal efficient unheated greenhouse you can grow all the fruits we are growing in our zone 4. I wish you best success! If you will ever have any specific questions I will be happy to answer.
Thank you for sharing your hard work. What you have accomplished is simply amazing and will help many others not only in cold climates but warmer climates as well. You should be very proud of all of these greenhouses. Again thank you for sharing all of your valuable experience and growing trials. Best Regards Andy
Thank you for sharing your life’s work with the world!!! This is the best video I’ve seen in a long time... I think the idea of the burms is incredible. Blessings from England
What an amazing educational video. Thank you for taking the time to not only carry out these experiments but also record and produce this for us to view. My wife wants a tropical garden complete with an edible banana tree in the uk! I have some interesting work ahead!
Thank you for your kind note. In UK (climate zone 7-8), with a thermal-efficient unheated greenhouse you can definitely create a lovely and abundant tropical garden for your family. I wish you best success and enjoyment of your great green project!
I enjoyed and appreciate all of the time you’ve taken to put your endeavors together here for our benefit! I am deeply inspired to do more, and I thank you! Blessings and good wishes..
Wow so much hard work out of love for the fruits and vegetables. Of course, the taste will be totally different from the ones you can buy, you have planted all of these with love, affection and enthusiasm. Bravo is a limited word.
Thank you! You are absolutely right - all these projects have been inspired by a sincere admiration and love for these wonderful plants and trees that delight us and sustain our life... A deep motivation also came from my dear parents!
This is the best video on greenhouses! I raked through a lot of them on UA-cam, but most, either were super expensive to build or obviously very inefficient. Most had close to nothing growing in them, or a few lettuce plants, when I craved to see house full of green as it should be. Thank you very much for the inspiration! I saw the picture of your green terasse in the Hugelkulture group, i believe, but in the end stumbled upon this video by chance. I'm saving it to my favorites, since I'm pretty sure I'll watch it more than once. I can't even describe how excited I am!
Thank you so much!! What you have achieved is amazing. You and your family are so determined and hard working! This is an inspiration to me. I will try to grow what everybody says it is impossible in my region.
Brother, you had me at, “which generated a few precious lessons.” That… is a sign of intelligence. Subbed right on up! Much love from the Heart of Carolina!!!
You are absolutely right - learning precious lessons in any aspect of life is a great CHANCE - which we have to acknowledge and be grateful for… We can imagine what mankind's evolution would have been like if people would not have done that… Thank you! Best wishes from Montreal!
I Know how hard you all have worked on this project,and which now I was younger I could do this to,but now I can pass this Great idea on to my family,which I will help them try if they will come together on it.I thank you for your learning and sharing.... I have been propagating roses for the past few years and enjoy this very much,Thanks
Thanks a ton for this wonderful video / lesson / documentary. Couldn't help thinking why can't I live in such structures as well ... Like may be a tiny house placed inside such a greenhouse garden/orchard
With pleasure. Your thought is so right! We had the chance to live 'partially for several years in such a structure with the 'sun terrace' attached to our house… and that literally changed our lifestyle! So we can imagine how wonderful would be to live 'totally' inside a garden & orchard... I have recently started such a project and hope to be able to finish it next year. I will share everything about that project and experience...
What a such inspiring video!!! My name is Jorge (George in English), and I am from El Salvador Central America. I moved to Souther Indiana for working reasons and my wife and I settled down over here with our two children. Since I already traveled all Central American countries (Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, including Panama), I miss all the tropical forest, fruit trees, flowers, vines and livestock from a tropical place along the Pacific Ocean. Your greenhouse inspired me to start my own projects in a small scale, considering that I am living in USDA Hardiness Zone 6b. I am dreaming about papaya trees, mango trees, banana trees and other tropical flowers and vines that are not possible up to these cold zones. I will start documenting my projects and sharing information with all of you in this new endeavor. I hope you read my message and hear from you about this matter. Happy and warmer New Year 2023. Jorge
Hello Jorge, First, I wish you and your family a great New Year with good health, nice achievements and happiness! I am very glad to hear about your desire to create a small (sub)tropical fruit paradise, and I am convinced that with a well conceived and built unheated greenhouse you will be able to do that. When you will feel ready to start such a project if you will have any specific questions you can send me an email and I will be glad to give you my opinion. Here is my email address: hw@humanwisdom.ca All the best! Dan
This is such a great study. So very well done. I was just thinking that growing fruit trees as espalier would make it easier for an indoor orchard, because you can easily control the height, and have easier access for maintenance.
Thank you very much for your kind thoughts! I suggest trying to find a few people in your area who share your interest in greenhouses and fruit trees and start building together such a fruit indoor orchard in your community… In case you will proceed with such a project and will have any questions I will be happy to answer!
I am so Inspired!!! Thank you! I have a covered patio that is see thru on the top...I will incorporate your wall of food on my sides now! I would be interested to see more closely how you built them. Thank you so much for all your years of work which benefits all of us!!!
Woooow ! You absolutely blow me a way. I don't even have words to describe how incredible you are and all your hard work and don't give it up attitude. It is sensational. Can't thank you enough for all this experiment. The world should have more people like you it would be a better place!!!
Thank you very much for your kind and humbling thoughts! I hope that more and more people will soon start producing delicious and organic fruits for their families and communities beyond their local climate limitations - and that will gradually enhance the quality of our lives.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I wish you to put everything to good use and create a fruitful indoor orchard... which to inspire so many other people follow your example!

Wonderful!! Just brilliant, God so simple, yet so,so powerful! If only our government cared that much, this could drastically change our lives. Thanks so much for sharing 💝
Thank you! You are so right!
That's encouraging! I'm in Canada too and have a dream of growing fruit trees as well. Now I know it's possible. Thanks for the tips!
I am glad you found this information useful.
I have a spot I set aside for a greenhouse and have been paralyzed with indecision on how. You have inspired me with your hard earned experimentation and lessons learned! Thank-you

I am very glad to hear that you now have a better image of your green project. I noticed that quite a lot of people tend to 'jump' into building or buying a greenhouse before clearly defining their 'green goals' and implicitly what kind of a greenhouse they should build/buy... And often times they end up being disappointed... I wish you best success and enjoyment of your project!
You are a Superhuman ! Can't believe anybody can build so much at your age !!
Thank you, you are very kind! The 'secret' is in what motivates you...
You are a true genius, my friend! Well done for showing everyone that this is possible. Respect from the UK!
Thank you very much, you are very kind! Now we have to start growing and enjoying these fruits everywhere, beyond our local climate limitations...
Awesome! I am inspired now to grow coffee and cacao in Arkansas, with just a few enhancements to your work.
Thank you! I am glad you found this useful for your green project and wish you best success!
Hello neighbor also from Arkansas. Thinking of oranges and grapefruits
Please, if you do this, let us know how it goes!
@@lorirode-off will do! It's going to take a few years.
@@FelonyVideos Enjoy!! I am in South Dakota and have started 11 avocado trees and three lemon trees.
Yes, it's taking years!
This year is, hopefully, the construction of the subsurface greenhouse.
I'd like to add my appreciation to those whom have already expressed it. This is valuable information for us all to use. You have saved us all years of work - Thank you for your generous willingness to share.
Thank you very much for your kind words! The more of us will start growing locally delicious and organic fruits and vegetables for their families and communities, the more we will all enjoy and benefit from a healthier lifestyle.
This is amazing! The time you took to follow your dream really is remarkable. There needs to be more people like you on this earth 🌎
Thank you very much for your kind words! Actually I deeply believe there are an IMMENSE number of wonderful people on Earth... It's just that somehow our talents and creativity have been diverted away from great human goals... I am convinced that we can all turn the current challenge into a powerful MOTIVATION to reconsider our destiny on this planet and create an unprecedented abundance of healthy food - as a great start into a new Human Era!
@@HumanWisdom Too True!
Thank you for never giving up. You are truly a great pioneer and Inspirational Human being and a Humanitarian. Your wife is Awesome for encouraging your dream as well.
Thank you very much for your kind and humbling words!
Sir you have earned my respect. Not only you, but the whole family who helped this become possible. Simply welldone.
Thank you very much for your kind note! Congratulations for your YT channel - I just liked and subscribed.
@@HumanWisdom Thank you so much for subscribing. It all came from bottom of my heart as I know how much work and effort you have put in to dig only one of those projects let alone everything else. Well done again 🙏
@@lifeleaves Thank you!
Building big wooden things in the basement? Your wife must be a Saint!! Hahaha. I enjoyed this very much, cheers from Oz! 🦘

@@HumanWisdom Beside every great man is a better Women. We are both very lucky for that!
You are one determined fella, this was wonderful, thank you.
Thank you!
I live in North Dakota USA. After seeing your sun terrace I’m absolutely mesmerized and would LOVE something similar! Your greenhouses are genius! Thank you for the video!
Thank you!
A decade of experience condensed into 30 minutes. Invaluable!
Thank you very much!
I'm not sure if I'm more impressed with your carpentry skills or your work ethic. I've built some decks, and a three foot deep hole for the posts is several hours of work, and that doesn't come close to some of that trench work. And those laminated arched rafters? I'm not positive I know a carpenter that could put those together. This is a great inspiration! (And my young son wanted to send his congratulations for your fruit.)
Thank you very much for your kind message! I think what MOTIVATES us is in large part the key to our successes… My best regards to your son!
@@HumanWisdom Ditto on the laminated rafters. If I had those skills....
@@shodospring I am preparing an video on the laminated arches.
@@HumanWisdom Awesome! I do have a shop...
@@shodospring Great! With a son passionate about fruit trees, a shop and the motivation to build a great green project you are on your way for something that you and your family will cheer and be proud of!
This is one of the best videos on the subject matter I have ever watched. Thank you for posting it. I, myself am trying to retrofit my 8x8ft greenhouse to store my semi-tropical trees next winter. I live in USDA Zone 8+ where we seldom get snow, but quite often the temp drop unexpectedly. The figs and persimmons grow well in the ground without protection. However, unlike the trees you are growing which are deciduous and do require chilling hours, the sapotes, jaboticabas, the icecream trees, and the sugar apples do not. My fear is that even if the temps inside are high enough not to kill them, the trees will still sustain too much stress to the point where it will stunt their growth.
Thank you very much! I am glad to hear about your green project - in zone 8 you can create a real fruit paradise! I understand your concern but, although I did not build yet a P4Z greenhouse in a warmer climate than zone 4 and 5, I have no doubt there would be no issues.
In the last couple of years I did a couple of small experiments and managed to pass the winter with some hardier citrus plants which kept all their leaves while outside we had minimum winter temperatures between -20 and -30 Celsius (-4 and -22F) for an extended period of time of 3-4 months.
The other very good thing is the lack of the wind factor in the greenhouse - which makes a huge positive difference for the plants and trees inside.
I wish you all the best in all your future green projects!
You have so many wonderful ideas and I love greenhouses and gardening year round, I'd love to have more information on how to get started when you don't have a lot of money. So inspirational and challenging to be sure but if you can do it in Canada, it can be done anywhere. Great job, I'm glad to have found you on utube.
Thank you Sharon! It's interesting that you mentioned this! Last November I realized that some people may not have enough money or space to build a greenhouse… and I built an affordable gardening module for cold climates. I will prepare a video as soon as I will have the first results at the end of winter.
@@HumanWisdom Really excited for that!
@@TheBorgCollective I intended to prepare that video at the beginning of summer, but this year got very busy with more and more interesting 'green projects'... and I had to delay the finalization of a few new videos. I am sure I will be able to do that in the next couple of months.
Might be the best thing Ive watched on UA-cam.
Thank you, you are very kind!
You'll certainly be one of the forefathers of the so much needed ecological sustainable organic. zero-emmitting carbon. future's society that must come.
Hats off to you Mr. Congrats 👏👏
Thank you very much for your humbling words. I sincerely dream of the moment when more and more people will start growing and offering their families and communities an abundance of delicious and 100% organic fruits, beyond local climatic limitations...
It seems you have improved on the very expensive and very impractical Conservatory and even made it affordable. Amazing. Simply amazing. My deepest gratitude to you for sharing what you have learned so others may benefit.
Thank you for your kind thoughts!
wow....that's love.
I started planting last year for the first time in my life. Turns out i had a green thumb and nothing i planted or cared for died.
This is such fantastic information. I'm really thankful for all of this.
I am very glad to hear about your 'green success' and wish you to enjoy it fully!
I am hugely impressed by your capacity for work. Thank you for recording your experiments so well and for sharing your findings. You're right. It is not just desirable to produce high-quality food in many locations. It is vital if we are to ensure the availability of food to everyone. We have seen what happens when there are "supply chain problems". If a wide variety of food is produced locally, those problems become much less serious or go away completely.
You are an inspiration.
Thank you very much for your note. The more people will think and act like you, the better life will be for all of us everywhere on Earth...
Amazing work! Love what you have done and discovered!!! I will have to try this in Poland 🇵🇱
Thank you! I wish you best success in your green project!
This a a university level lecture, amazing quality of information. Merci beaucoup!
Thank you for your heartwarming and humbling note! Avec grand plaisir!
The planting shelves on the outside is genius! Thx for the post.
Thank you! With pleasure.
Thank you for your wonderful work and the generosity of spirit - such abundance that requires no additional heat source to thrive in the cold winter months
With sincere pleasure!
Nicely done. Appreciate you sharing all your hard work and efforts here.
Thank you!
@@HumanWisdom We are looking into building something here in western Washington off grid. Your video is apropos to our research.
@@MrRainCountry I am very glad to hear about your green project and wish you best success!
thank you for inspiring me, this makes me proud of what i love
You are so right - growing our own food, both delicious and healthy, is something to be proud of!
Wow! This made me cry. EXCELLENT Job! Such hard work, skill, thinking, evaluating and perseverance. You are an Inspiration. Bravo! 🙌
Thank you so much for your kind words, which warmed my heart!
Your work is incredible! You and your wife and family/friends have accomplished so much. What a joy to look at. Congratulations and thank you for sharing!
Thank you very much!
Thank you for sharing the fruits of your labor! This is an absolute good and inspiring video! The labour of love & goodness which gave such a wealth of information is truly heroic! We must use what you have generously shared as a model to produce for ourselves clean food that nourishes not only ourselves, but also our communities! Thank you ever so much! Blessings to you and your family. 🥰👏❤️🙏
Thank you so much for your heartwarming note! You are so right, now that we know we can go way beyond our local climate limitations and grow a large variety of healthy fruits in a simple and ecologic manner nothing should stop us from doing that as soon as possible in all parts of the world… It only depends on us... and I am hopeful that we will see those wonderful fruits quite soon!
Great presentation, I especially like the arched laminated lean to greenhouse. I have an old barn that would be well suited to this sort of experiment (zone 5) Thanks for the ideas and best of luck on your future projects.
Thank you! I wish you best success in your barn-greenhouse project!
You are genius :) Thank you so much for your advices, it's much appreciated :)
Thank you for your kind note! I am very glad you found this information useful.
You Sir, are a Genius! Thank God for You!
You are extremely kind Sir! I am just a simple man who adores these beautiful and generous fruit trees and grapevines, and also has a lot of motivation coming from deep personal reasons...
12 minutes in and already very excited. Thank you so much.
Recently purchased 25 acres in New York zone five, I’ve been contemplating running similar experiments, this information is extremely valuable.
Thank you! I am very glad to hear about your green project and wish you best success and enjoyment!
videos like this and people like you are the best inspiration for the change we need and for a lot of people, myself included. thank you for sharing your year long expierence
Thank you very much for your kind and humbling words!
Thank you for sharing, I’m starting my off grid journey in the North, and a greenhouse is near the top of the list. I’m in the same climate zone in ON.
With pleasure! I wish you best success and enjoyment in your off grid journey and green project!
Excellent information! You and your wife are incredible people. Hardworking & resourceful to say the least. The determination it took to follow through with all of your experimentation is such a joy to have watched. Thank you for sharing that journey & information with us. What I took away from the information in your video was that we can grow whatever we like & extend our season in this northern hemisphere by 2-4 months. That is just enough time to grow ample food to preserve it for the harshest months of the year. You have inspired me to begin my own experimentation with erecting a greenhouse! Thank you!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We wish you best success and enjoyment of your own green project and we are sure you will become an inspiring example to many other people in your region!
Thank you so much for sharing your greenhouse building experience! Also, thanks to everyone who has shared their great ideas in the comments! I'm in zone 7 and have a strong desire to grow most of our own food from heirloom (non-GMO) seeds without chemicals throughout the year. Your indoor orchard was especially inspiring, because I love apricots and they are frequently eliminated by late frost. I appreciate the opportunity to learn to build a greenhouse that will make this possible. Love and blessings to all! Namaste
Thank you for your kind note! In zone 7, with a thermal efficient unheated greenhouse you can create a real 'fruit paradise' and provide healthy food year-round to your family as you wisely set up your goal. I wish you best success and enjoyment of your green project!
Gotta Luv Apricots, they are also cancer killers! Quebecers are very independent and great Growers!
Honestly I started watching this intending to learn a bit by skipping through, but before I knew it I watched it beginning to end. I love your enthusiasm, hard work, and your drive that allows you to not fear failure, or if you do fear it to overcome that fear. Great video!
Thank you very much!
Well done! Bravo on the incredible endeavors. Low-Tech Organic shows how possible it can be and not turn into an energy consumption monster. Thank you for thinking outside the box and that forethought to follow through. Thank you to your wife and brother-in-law for lending their physical and emotional support, as well as, the neighbor with the water access idea. I am in Central Texas and will find my way to this method of food Management. Hats off to all the hard work and documents.
Thank you very much for your thoughtful note! I assume you probably are in climate zone 7 or 8. If that is the case, with a thermal efficient unheated greenhouse you can create a real 'fruit paradise' there! I wish you best success and enjoyment of your green venture!
What an incredible mind you have and such tenacity.
Thank you for your generous heart.
So much here that is so beneficial.
Thank you 😊
Thank you very much for your kind words. Now that we know that we can grow a lot of fruits beyond our local climate limitations in an affordable and sustainable manner let's all do our best to fully benefit.
THIS IS SO SO SO AMAZING! I'm in zone 5a, st. john's newfoundland - where wind and cold are the biggest challenge! This makes more more excited about using your lessons as I move forward in my climate! I could absolutely use loads of your wisdom forever! Thank you so much for sharing everything!
Thank you very much! I am very glad that you find this video useful and I wish you best success and enjoyment of your green project!
Wow! I discovered your video yesterday, and I walked around in a happy trance the whole day. I couldn’t wait to show it to my husband when he came home from work. Your greenhouse is truly a vision from God. We live in the Black Hills of South Dakota, about a mile high in elevation, with a zone between 4 and 5. We have lived here for a year and grew a small vegetable garden this summer with limited success. The cold weather just came too early. We had previously lived in western Colorado and then Arizona, where we could have beautiful fruit trees and very productive gardens. I was very disappointed with our garden this summer! We are currently living in an apartment with a very small yard, and we are hoping to buy a house with some land soon. So we have been looking into ways to build an inexpensive greenhouse (when we get our land) that could extend the growing season a bit. When I watched your video it was like a beautiful dream that couldn’t possibly be true, yet it was! The scenes of your barn-greenhouse are absolutely enchanting. I’ve never seen such beauty indoors! It is truly a blessing from God to discover that we people in the northern climates can grow our own beautiful fruits and have many more months of vegetables. The Black Hills has hundreds of old barns dotting the hillsides, abandoned and falling apart, how incredible that would be to turn them all into fruit orchards! We have been concerned for many years with the centralization of farming and our dependence on supermarkets. The corporate grown food is unhealthy and people have lost their connection with the land and growing things, also unhealthy. I believe your vision is of extreme importance at this moment in time, and I agree that we must waste no time in creating local food supplies. Many experts are saying that food shortages are just around the corner. Another thing your film shows is how beautiful life can be when we focus on our own spot on the planet - our village - and create our food independence. And with your vision and innovations even people in the colder climates can do this! I loved your other video, “growing organic fruits,” very beautiful, and I loved how you used the Adagio from Beethoven’s Emperor for the background. I am a concert pianist (who loves gardening) and I performed the Emperor a couple of years ago in Arizona. The Adagio is divine music, for me it expresses the Peace of God. A perfect accompaniment for your divine vision. May we contact you by email next year when we hopefully have land and can start building a greenhouse? My husband is a good builder, but I’m sure we’ll have questions. I’m hoping we can find land with an old barn!! All the land here has hillsides, so a hillside greenhouse might be another possibility. Sorry for the very long comment, but I am so inspired by your vision, and I do think it is an extremely important vision at this time in our history, and surely a gift from God through you. I hope lots of people start building these greenhouses, I’m sure it would then start catching on to many other people. This idea could save many people from starvation. Thank you for all your work in creating this and giving your vision to us! Thank you thank you Multumesc 😊 Kathryn
Dear Kathryn, thank you very much for your deeply touching note! It is a profound joy to see people like you who look at the possibility of growing locally a wide variety of fruits in colder climates in such an enthusiastic and constructive manner. I am very glad to hear about your plan to build a green project and I will be happy to answer any questions that you and your husband may have - here is my email address: hw@humanwisdom.ca
I think it is a great chance to have so many older barns in your region that could be converted in organic indoor orchards - and I am sure your initiative to start such a project will inspire many other people.
It was a sincere pleasure to read your admirable words about the sublime Adagio - particularly coming from a passionate concert pianist like yourself!
As I mentioned in another note below, during the last couple of years I have done some further experiments trying to see how far we can 'push' the thermal efficiency of an unheated greenhouse and if we can build a year-round greenhouse in which we could grow subtropical fruits in zone 4/5 - and the preliminary results are very encouraging. I have been so busy with these projects that I did not have the time to put together the information and images for an update video, but I will be working on that in the next few weeks.
I wish you and your husband best success and enjoyment in your future green project! Cu sincera bucurie! Dan
This is nothing short of amazing, I am in awe. Your dedication is admirable. I’m waiting to see the new and improved greenhouse!
Thank you very much for your kind message! I don't like to talk 'in advance' but based on a few on-going experiments I would dare to say there are some promising things in front of us...
What a wonderful video! So very inspiring! Thank you from Phoenix AZ.
Thank you! Hello from Montreal!
You have had an amazing journey! Thank you for sharing your experiment and what you have learned along the way.

This is the best video on greenhouses! I raked through a lot of them on UA-cam, but most, either were super expensive to build or obviously very inefficient. Most had close to nothing growing in them, or a few lettuce plants, when I craved to see house full of green as it should be. Thank you very much for the inspiration!
I saw the picture of your green terasse in the Hugelkulture group, i believe, but in the end stumbled upon this video by chance.

Thanks a ton for this wonderful video / lesson / documentary.
Couldn't help thinking why can't I live in such structures as well ... Like may be a tiny house placed inside such a greenhouse garden/orchard
With pleasure. Your thought is so right! We had the chance to live 'partially for several years in such a structure with the 'sun terrace' attached to our house… and that literally changed our lifestyle! So we can imagine how wonderful would be to live 'totally' inside a garden & orchard... I have recently started such a project and hope to be able to finish it next year. I will share everything about that project and experience...

My name is Jorge (George in English), and I am from El Salvador Central America. I moved to Souther Indiana for working reasons and my wife and I settled down over here with our two children.
Since I already traveled all Central American countries (Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, including Panama), I miss all the tropical forest, fruit trees, flowers, vines and livestock from a tropical place along the Pacific Ocean.
Your greenhouse inspired me to start my own projects in a small scale, considering that I am living in USDA Hardiness Zone 6b.
I am dreaming about papaya trees, mango trees, banana trees and other tropical flowers and vines that are not possible up to these cold zones. I will start documenting my projects and sharing information with all of you in this new endeavor.
I hope you read my message and hear from you about this matter. Happy and warmer New Year 2023.
Jorge
Hello Jorge,
First, I wish you and your family a great New Year with good health, nice achievements and happiness!
I am very glad to hear about your desire to create a small (sub)tropical fruit paradise, and I am convinced that with a well conceived and built unheated greenhouse you will be able to do that.
When you will feel ready to start such a project if you will have any specific questions you can send me an email and I will be glad to give you my opinion. Here is my email address: hw@humanwisdom.ca
All the best!
Dan
This is such a great study. So very well done. I was just thinking that growing fruit trees as espalier would make it easier for an indoor orchard, because you can easily control the height, and have easier access for maintenance.
Thank you. You are right, growing in espalier could be a good solution, as practically it is for grapevines.
Thanku very much for sharing these invaluable lessons on keeping your plants alive in cold climates.
With pleasure.
Way to go!!! Loved and learned through the whole video. Thanks so much!
Thank you! I am glad you found this info useful.
you are the man! Thank you for posting! I wish I lived near you to give you a hand...
Thank you very much for your kind thoughts! I suggest trying to find a few people in your area who share your interest in greenhouses and fruit trees and start building together such a fruit indoor orchard in your community…
In case you will proceed with such a project and will have any questions I will be happy to answer!
I am so Inspired!!! Thank you! I have a covered patio that is see thru on the top...I will incorporate your wall of food on my sides now! I would be interested to see more closely how you built them. Thank you so much for all your years of work which benefits all of us!!!
I am very glad to hear that you feel inspired to create a similar fruit corner and I am sure you will enjoy it a lot!
Wow. You’re amazing and I love this video. Your wonderful ideas are exciting 👍
Thank you very much!
Woooow ! You absolutely blow me a way. I don't even have words to describe how incredible you are and all your hard work and don't give it up attitude. It is sensational. Can't thank you enough for all this experiment. The world should have more people like you it would be a better place!!!
Thank you very much for your kind and humbling thoughts! I hope that more and more people will soon start producing delicious and organic fruits for their families and communities beyond their local climate limitations - and that will gradually enhance the quality of our lives.
I learned more from your journey than almost all the other green houses on you tube. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I wish you to put everything to good use and create a fruitful indoor orchard... which to inspire so many other people follow your example!
