Got some tiny tims after watching your vids. Going on like day 21… doing good!
Would love to see some pics. PM message me at chads Midgley Facebook. Awesome to hear.
🌱
Can't wait to see the indoor set-up! 👍
🌱 MONSANTO ☠️
whats the name of the thermal imaging device on his phone?
That looks Awesome. Will those bags heat the greenhouse for the whole winter?
@@billhartman8217 ruclips.net/video/ngA1_No99Z8/видео.htmlsi=2hiEYtjr3LDNKQeT. This video should have more views. Is a better video showing details. Also have long videos at Antelope island ghost house revisiting the ghost adventures episode at fielding garr ranch revisit. Looking forward to seeing you at the Ogden winter market.
That's impressive for Ogden. I lived there for 15 years and I know how cold the winters get. ...A bit of constructive criticism: Don't do your videos in a singe take with no editing. You spent less than a minute in your greenhouse and had repetitive dialog. You don't have to get fancy, but don't be afraid to do a little clipping. I was bored to tears for 6 minutes.
@@mandimoore4946 one of our first videos. Our newest ones are much better.
Love it. ❤❤ want one so bad
Super awesome,Love how keeping the leaves and straw in bags helps to keep the heat going!
Is there anything available on youtube for the greenhouses in Nebraska?
@@Drisdelle09 their system is different than ours. We want to give people a way to do the same thing on a dime and at ground level without going underground.
@@chadsproducelove what your doing!
@@chadsproduce I found the farm in Nebraska they were referring to. I like your method way more. Simple and effective. Rather than complex, which is a synonym for immature.
@ this may sound weird but I have never watched the Nebraska video. I always wanted what I do in any sense original and inspiring. I never did this to make videos or money. I did it because I wanted greenery all winter to beat the blues. Thanks for your comment.
ruclips.net/user/shortsAMorzKVOEC8?si=jjDOgJYVb_Qkagzv
👍🏻🔥 ok that rocks.. thank you
This is the longer version video of our recent short. This was all video taped Saturday. Wind chills single digits.
🌱
I love big peaches…🍑🍑
How do the root crops get sunshine?
what kind of sorcery is this 😂 your videos always just blow me away. 👍🏻🔥
Informative AND entertaining 😂
Hahahaha. Out videos will get more and more fun
Why yes they can if you do properly prep for the bad weather.
Citrus cannot grow here in zone 6 whatsoever. We are manipulating the trees to do this.
@chadsproduce bud your useing a greenhouse and im guessing that you winterized the roots then 1 or 2 extra things.
@ remember a standard greenhouse is 100 degrees during the day and 20 at night without a heater. We are using no heaters. No electricity
@@chadsproduce Oh no, it's not like greenhouses are built to keep You know cold winds and stuff out and keep the warm air in and you know just being closed off from the chilling air makes it warmer and all that fun stuff.
🌱
@@DaneWigington2O25 how’s it going friend ?
This is so cool! I'm very impressed. Does the grapefruit prefer this type of climate@@chadsproduce
@ grapefruit do not like this sort of climate whatsoever. We are manipulating them to grow in zone 6.
Always enjoy your videos. Do you ever get pest issues? I'm really impressed that your plants all look the ideal of health without fans or anything. Would love to hear more.
@@emilymimikos4756 we get the black sooty stuff on our citrus leaves. Something to do with aphids but doesn’t seem to hinder anything. Outside the greenhouses, We had a grasshopper invasion last summer and get the usual earwig invasion. Otherwise we are doing fairly well. The greenhouses had a slight grasshopper issue last year but other than that all is well. Wind is our biggest issue. 65 mph canyon winds.
Love this! You probably get this wuestion alot buy why do you keep the leaves and clipping in the bags? Why not dump them into a pile and then cover them? Do the bags retain heat better? Thanks!
@@kylespeaks7401 I got a video coming out really soon showing a thermal radar device that will go through these greenhouses and show exactly where the heat is coming from on a day that has sub zero windchills. Leaving the mulch in bags has a really interesting result we will show.
It was fun to see it working!!!
Silly names. Amazing methods! Thanks for sharing how you do this.
@@jim-vail-that-nice-guy hahahaha. Thanks.
I am hooked on your videos. Can’t wait to explore more
We got an orange tree last year I had to google if you can eat too many oranges cause I ate 12 in one sitting they were good and apparently you can’t have too many oranges
Names are a little silly
@@kennethreffitt2051 please give me some name suggestions for the greenhouses.
@chadsproduce they are yours lol. They represent you and your family's work and since they are yours you can name them what you want lol. Thanks for sharing your garden with us. I'm trying this year to start a new garden and hope I'll have some delicious harvest coming up
@ some of these theme park rides are really innovative and most of my ideas came from walking around Disneyland and looking at their many Hobbit Holes. Like Splash Tiana’s Mountain.
ruclips.net/user/shortsOBdjor0Gey4?si=7DDLyurnIRM0C8tb
10 degrees outside, whats the temp inside the greenhouse ? still impressed this works. wow👍🏻
@@savvy2639 was above freezing. Nothing was frozen to the touch. So at least a 22 degree advantage over the outdoor temp.
@chadsproduce was just curious if I would have to add candles under a clay pot during those 0 degree days is all. seems mighty close. I'd just hate to lose a tree a spent so much time nurturing along. still may give this a try. did you have trees in grow sacks work this way too ? thanks
@ what growing zone are you in? Have 20 of these devices. 10 of them handle this easy. The other 10 is touch and go. I agree is disheartening if a tree freezes.
@chadsproduce 6b depending on which way the wind blows..one map says 7 - I say hogwash on that. lol thank you for taking the time to answer questions 👍🏻
@ your the same as us. Watch my videos carefully and you can pull this off. Five New instructional videos I have finished coming soon.
🌱
@@DaneWigington2O25 how are the videos and RUclips coming ?
@chadsproduce I'm just playing around it's more about the music 🎶
انا معجب كثيرا لقناتك 🎉
@@Odan-17 thanks for watching.
Did you plant that lemon tree in ground or big pot? Thank you.
All my citrus trees in my various videos that you can check out are in ground. Some have been in the ground for over a decade in zone 6 Utah.
Are you concerned about the amount of microplastics in your food?
I am not. There is a little ditch in the middle of the greenhouse and that is where the water comes in to supply the plants. The plastic won’t get into that water and can be easily removed when deteriorating.
That's a great idea I'm from Indiana and it's so cold outside and that would be a really great idea now I'm going to have to try this. I do have a question for you though I have a lemon tree in my house I can't seem to keep the leaves on it it's still alive but during the winter I just can't keep the leaves from withering and dropping off the stems are still green and I keep it watered I might need to put it into a larger pot but other than that I just can't think of what to do to keep it going during the winter months
@@lyleplanckjr2101 we just had some people from Indiana fly out to do a farm tour here. They loved it. The trees aren’t very happy until they are in the ground. Lemon trees are the most tender of the citrus so make sure you have plenty of protection.
Beautifully pruned peach/apricot/cherry trees!! I’m so glad you went out to learn how to prune them!!!! Although I’m more permaculture than monoculture because of disease .. but either way beautiful trees!! And I encourage you to seek other people to teach you how to prune certain trees
Dave is the master. This video we are lucky to have and lucky that he was willing to do this.
I love your thinking.. would love to see you build a walipini!!!
We have an old trampoline that is underground. May get rid of it and build a greenhouse in the hole. Problem with a Walipini is our high water table.
@@chadsproduce did some say old trampoline? 😂
@ somebody has said old trampoline at the tours? I remember someone saying this. Do you ?
What temperatures are you getting in the greenhouse when your outside temperatures are in the 20s ?
During the day near 80. At night our goal is to stay above freezing to keep these trees happy. We where 10 this morning and our citrus trees where very happy. Check out my video short showing this.
YOU ARE A TRUE INNOVATOR. KEEP THOSE IDEAS CHURNING.
cant wait til you get to - just goofy 😂 absolutely blows my mind.
🌱
🌱
@@DaneWigington2O25 hope your indoor farming is going well.
Incredible! Is there a chance the compost could start on fire? Thank you for sharing! I would like to try that in Canada.
@@eighthappyfish ruclips.net/video/Q6IfV2pyjSE/видео.htmlsi=qLt20iYjTbXIZYF9. Some experiments we did. If not done correctly you can have issues. So take precautions and be careful.
Wow that is insanely awesome. Dave Daniel’s is the PEACH King. Hope Nicole sees this. 🎉
Chad, big fan here, is there a size of greenhouse that would be too big to replicate your methods?
@@terriblycleverchannelname5620 our largest is 80 x 13 Aprox. So quite large. Next largest 60 x 20. Another large ones. Next one 50 x 20
@ those are quite large that's good to know!
@ how large is yours ?
@ i actually don't have one yet but I'm thinking I'd like to start in the next 1-2 years
@ how big are you looking to build? Where are you located. Cool!
Just depends for me. I have a short season, so I always check the growing time needed. Depending on the amount of seeds I need, might be cheaper for me to buy bulk.
Those seed work just fine.
lots of great finds .. if its there, get it.. some things go fast. 👍🏻
They are fine. I've grown them for years.
That’s so smart. Definitely going to work. I’m going to steal this (Oklahoma 7b here).
@@RustyBobbins hahahaha look at me giving all my secrets away. However there are a few I will never reveal. Like my peach variety that bears before apricots at the same time as cherries. 🍒
Cool and helpful thanks!
What are you going to do when the trees get taller than the hobbit greenhouse?
This device is bigger than it looks on your screen. Holds two standard concrete reinforcement wire large tomato cages inside, which could fit up to that size of citrus tree. The yield would be similar to a large caged tomato plant yearly. Is meant for dwarf trees and a good pruning yearly. This devices has exceeding all expectations so far.
🤣
