    Been watching for years. Currently building a hybrid version of this. Please give us a summer update for 2024 :)

    Just a tip from a Caribbean person; once the bananas are ready to be picked, and you are about to cut the plant, you can still give one more use to the plant (either for sale if u wouldn't use them): the leaves. They are very fond as "kitchen helpers" in Caribbean culinary therefore you could offer them to several potential clients. Search on that. Beautiful greenhouse!! Thanks for sharing your progress, and congratulations!!!🎉🎉

    Please keep us updated on your growing! It’s my goal to build one of these greenhouses!

    Greenhouse looks great! I’m growing many tropical fruits in a greenhouse in Utah as well.

    Another update please! Very interested on specifically how air movement through the tubes is used in the greenhouse.

    Your updates help me up in Salmon Idaho. Boulder Jack Farm greenhouse went into operation in September 2023. 48’ with a 6’ mech room and 42’ grow. Been slowly starting over the winter and now into spring..
    Thanks again.

      My wife and I are heading to Alliance next month to check out the various options and intend to start our “Greenhouse in the Snow” here in the Idaho Teton valley early next Spring. Any lessons learned or words of wisdom you’d like to share?

    Looks amazing! I'd love to invite you up to Heber Valley one of these days to tour the same greenhouse I built, now on season two. It would be nice to compare notes and ideas

    I live just west of Ogden. It’s nice to see these in the same state.

    Thanks for the update! I really appreciate it! Just to note, UA-cam through your older videos into my feed today, but didn't show me this one from just a few days ago. I was wondering if you had any more updates so I clicked on your channel and found it.

    Thanks for sharing, we are looking to do this very setup at my home in Northern Utah.

    Fun place👍 2 questions-Have you heard of or experienced mold/mildew issues with the geothermal pipes because the warm air condenses and deposits water that would settle and stagnate?-------Could you just run an oxygenating air pump during nighttime to lessen electrical demand?

    Love that you’re getting bananas! Have your avocado trees produced yet?

    I love the design!
    Use of thermal blankets would have lowered your heating bills.
    The thermal blankets seem to work better under another transparent layer to keep snow from blocking you from rolling/pulling over a thermal blanket at night and removing during morning.

    Thankyou for taking the time to bring us along on your adventure! My wife and I plan to break ground on one of these next year, if you don’t mind, what resources would you recommend to study?

    So we’re in West Jordan. We have a bass pond and greenhouse. How did you you get to this system. Yes, I’m interested

    Love the updates. Do you regularly introduce new water and discard some from the fish and grow bed system? Maybe rain water gets added?

    • @trailbreakfarms
      @trailbreakfarms  Рік тому +1

      yes we have a filter that allows us to use the fish waste/water to fertilize the trees

    Where did you purchase the shade cloth and how does it work? Does wind blow it?

  • @thetacoman4268
    @thetacoman4268 10 місяців тому

    what's the soil temp like? I thought the soil being less than 60 degrees would be bad for tropicals.

    Love your videos!, Been following you for a few years and we are just starting our own greenhouse plans, but we are concerned about the drain pips getting flooded and stop working?
    Or are you some special drain pips without any perforation?

    I will own my own geo-greenhouse one day.
    Have you grown sunsugar tomatoes?
    Did the snow load collapse of Russ' oldest greenhouse model in Nebraska, cause you to inspect your model?
    Do you think yours needs reinforcement for snow?

    • @trailbreakfarms
      @trailbreakfarms  Рік тому +2

      I love the sunsugar variety. I feel confident that my Greenhouse will hold up in the Snow. It has done well for 4 Years. I keep it warm so the snow melts quickly and slides down to the bottom.

      Oh was wondering how you were able to keep the temperature cold enough for trout or a species that is eatable or marketable

    You could probably get away with loquat, starfruit, easily papaya, natal plum, bayleaf and allspice trees, lemongrass and the right varieties of mango as well
