have you ever tried to utilize sealed tubes/pipes for geothermal passive "heat" for you greenhouses? It can be done without a Radon pump!
@@rjaquaponics9266 I saw a setup like this yesterday in Hennifer Utah. Mind blowing awesome. Tell me more…
do you have issues with snakes or rodents? I brought woodchips in about a decade ago and had a huge population of snakes move in.
@@sarahpauline4904 good question. We have 20 hobbit hole greenhouses on five farms in metro Salt Lake Wasatch Front of almost three million people. Utah has a catch and release program to encourage cat adoption of feral kitties. Works like magic and each farm has at least one kitty. They are all fixed and become tame like pets. No mice 🐭 have never seen a snake inside these devices. Before the kitties we had issues and had to use poison which they don’t even make any longer.
Amazing stuff. When will the figs go dormant in this environment? Will they drop those fruits they are putting on?
We haven’t ever been in this situation with a greenhouse quadruple covered. Usually the fruits and leaves hold into December if the greenhouse is decent. Crossing fingers.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
West Bountiful... More Like Sooo Bountiful 😂🎉
@@austintrees in my experience growing Bountiful Utah is the best area to grow in. Incredible soil and warmer climate. What zone are you in ? Ohio zone?
@chadsproduce formerly 5b, but the update changed us to 6a, we are in the tiny area of central northwestern Ohio that fell into 5b, only difference we saw is that the snow didn't melt as fast as the lower elevations surrounding us.
@@austintreesyour probably very similar to us. We just don’t get the Arctic plunges that you get. You could be warmer than us if we don’t factor that in.
Are the figs self-polinated?
@WaldemarSzmuro I believe most figs are, the figs that we grow in the United States aren't the ones that are pollinated by a wasp going inside. They're technically a flower that is inverted I believe... There are people who inject pollen into the insides of the fig in order to cross pollinate so that they can get a new type of fig from the seed. Check out Ross Raddi for deep fig knowledge, there's also a group called Texas fig growers I believe... They're known for having a couple thousand different varieties, and traveling around and stopping to take a cutting when they find one growing wild.
So how are you pollinating?
What pollinates these peach flowers?
@@WaldemarSzmuro paint brushes and happy 🐝 bees that live next door at a certified honey farm. Thanks for watching.
How often are you allowed to open the pipes?
@@Marygholland we get the pipes opened once a week from June to October. After that this is a total off grid property with no services.
Hey Chad, came across your channel from Stefano Creatini. Love what you're doing. I'm up in Zone 4a/3b and would love to get some insight into whether you think a bale/wood chip greenhouse is viable here.
@@bradhafichuk my warmest greenhouse I have is surrounded by 4x4 bales of straw and inside grow beds made out of tons of bags of hot grass clippings (donated ) with soil on top. Keeps it toasty warm. Whatever you decide will help you and allow growing things you never deemed possible. Would start with figs, pomegranates and hardy citrus like kumquats.
This looks amazing! Think we can do something similar is a 3b zone, ours winters are typically -20 and -40 in Canada.
@@weareteamreed6287 it will for sure help you grow something there.
Love your channel. Are the plants rooted in the bare soil or are they in pots underneath the compost?
@@arrhythmia100 thanks. Rooted in bare soil and we keep adding amendments
Just today discovered you on a pepper post on Facebook and decided to give a follow. Really impressed with what you’re doing and enjoy watching n dreaming of accomplishing a small garden project myself one day. Best of harvesting to you.
@@anitaperdue8494 stay tuned my best videos coming out really soon. Thanks for watching.
Wow!!!! Do you have a video explaining how you did this?? This is amazing 🤯🤯🤯
Your farms are impressive ! And your produce too ! Well done, you have done so much work. I have a question re the green houses and the fruit trees you have in them, what happens in summer when it gets really hot don't the plant burn ? Do you remove the plastic ?
@@gaetanproductions check out my video entitled something like the most efficient greenhouses at 106 degrees. We showcase its cooler inside even with the plastic.
@chadsproduce ok will do, thanks
Can you speak to the economics of fruit trees? How many can you plant in a greenhouse? Avg harvest from them, etc. How many years for ROI on a new greenhouse. Etc etc. Thank you!
@@CasteelGardens have this documented on video. Facebook chads Midgley. We made thousands on donut peaches at the farmers market this year from the greenhouses. Documented this on video.
@chadsproduce do you have a link? You have a LOT of videos!!
@ facebook.com/share/r/WbNSqwFZK4sJpHCm/?mibextid=14AR8G. This doesn’t include the citrus we get or the thousands we make on agritourism showcasing the Intermountain wests largest in ground citrus trees at our Farm Tours. Enjoy !
You mean you’re watering like the Native Americans?
@@taylormatthie7864 good comment. They are the master farmers of all 😀
Do you have issues with mice/voles/gophers etc?
@@ajsassafrass6883 we have a few feral kitties on the farm which are fixed. Never a mouse 🐭 problem ever thanks to them.
Happy to have found you, Chad. Im in Montana. My dad is always telling me no, which lights a fire under my butt. I love finding other people who also think outside the box to make their ideas work. Fantastic!
@@ajsassafrass6883 we are working on this and documenting it weekly. Updating all of our greenhouses right now for upcoming farm tours. 😀. Awesome comment makes me smile.
@@chadsproduce I'll be looking for a farm tour! 🎉
Chad, you are a legend, truly a trail blazer.
@@waykone thank you 😊. Wait until you see our new content coming soon in 4k 😀😃
The super market size strawberries happen because why?
@@MsLbraun all about variety. Look for a day neutral Everbearing for bigger strawberries. Like seascape.
Hi Chad, We have horrible problems with Voles in Colorado. They have already destroyed multiple fruit trees, bushes and vegetables. There are vole holes everywhere. We have tried multiple ways to get rid of Voles without traps and chemicals. We cannot get rid of them. These greenhouses are great ideas but the Voles would destroy anything inside. Colorado Kate
How old is your dog?
@@truthbetoldnow Jiggs lived to be 20. Passed away shortly after this video when we left for Disneyland and he was left with a babysitter.
Hey, I’m just an hour north of you and have a blood orange tree. It says it’s hardy down to twenty degrees but what temperature do I realistically need to keep it above to have it produce? It does have fruit on it right now in early stages.
@@bricemillett9811 the tree itself is hardy to the low 20s. The fruit is not and will freeze at 28.
@@chadsproduce thank you for the response! That is good to know!
Nice!!! Way to grow! So, you just grow the beets and as it starts to get cold, cover them with plastic and compost… to preserve them? The won’t keep growing tho, right?
@@JRESHOW this video shows a late harvest in early March with small beets left. Will video tape this same thing in December with a huge harvest this upcoming winter. Keeps them at the huge size they obtained planting in March.
Do you ever have to worry about chill hours inside of your greenhouses?
@@austintrees the temp stays chilly when snow is on top of greenhouses. The peach trees get plenty of chill hours just not below freezing much.
@@chadsproduce So there doesn't seem to be any type of fruit tree that are running into side effects from not being out in the elements? That's amazing.
can you give more details on how to build these greenhouses? thanks!
@@monacurran6396 ruclips.net/video/c3OMJjUciG0/видео.htmlsi=NfGlWiK-EAVJdhVU
@@austintrees the neatest thing of all is that you can get a full sized peach tree in just two years inside of a greenhouse. No peach borer issues either.
Your videos are getting better and better, good job!
I love your channel.
Thanks so much for watching. Stay tuned to our $100 Hobbit Citrus Greenhouse coming soon 😊

How can I pay you to help me set up my own farm
@@John-bg6gb we do farm tour classes in November. Also do phone consultation and farm visits. All affordable. Message me on Chads Midgley Facebook.
So much for LDS self -sufficiency. Maybe we shouldn’t sell our agricultural soul to China.
@@SelfTaughtArtist1 Utah isn’t all LDS. LDS people are taught to be very self sufficient but not very many people seem to listen.
@@chadsproduce I understand. But the legislature is primarily controlled by members of the church.
Are you aware of the amount of land that Utah leases to the Chinese? How much of Utahs water is used for agriculture that gets shipped overseas?
@@SelfTaughtArtist1 please explain further and sources. Thanks. 😊
@@chadsproduce One word…pork….I’ll let you do your own research.
What’s variety?
@@elizabethperez8818 seascape and Albion are very good varieties.
You are doing what I always wanted to do but never attempted. You truly are a rockstar.
@@jbro800 we are doing something new now and have videos documenting it. Will release soon. $100 Hobbit Greenhouses that you can grow tropical fruit right in the smack middle of my peach orchards. Mixing tropical fruit with peaches in Utah. Videos finished and documented. May release on Halloween 🎃. Thanks so much for your nice comment. Big smile on my face. You sound like an experienced gardener.
Have you seen Baker’s creek citrus greenhouses in MO? Pretty awesome.
@@lizroberts8168 I haven’t tell me more? My goal in all of this especially with my new idea the $100 Hobbit Greenhouse is to make the dream of producing food year round in the lower 48 states during winter affordable for all. We are doing it on a pinch 🤏 of a dime.
Love what y’all are doing. I’m from provo but living in MO now and excited to try thermal mass for heating our new hoop house. Just got it today from farmer’s friend. Thank you for the inspiration!
@@lizroberts8168 how does the weather there compare to Provo? Are you glad you moved or missing Utah? I hear the grass IS greener out of state and MUCH more affordable. Thoughts ?
Cheap? Like free?
@@toddgittins5692 have seen as cheap as 40 acres of desert land for 25k.
@@chadsproduce it would have to be on pavement for that kinda money.
@@toddgittins5692 yep still a lot of money. Salt Lake City is about 500k for an acre currently.
Chad, you need to come see our geothermal earth climate battery greenhouse down in Pleasant Grove. We have been growing all our veggies year-round for the past three winters. Stays 70-80 degrees year-round with a lot less work, once built.
How do you get rid of the scale that is all over the leaves of your citrus trees? We had it in our greenhouse last winter but it did not affect fruit formation.
@@myyearroundgreenhouse goes away after time. Is the after effects of aphids I believe ? I could really wash it off but the yields are huge and nothing really affected so far. Thanks for watching 😊👍🍑
Maybe go easy with that face and always point the camera in the other direction away from it?
This video was one of my first videos. Watch our new ones for much improved video work. However the content on this video is absolutely groundbreaking good. 👍 Thanks for watching ❤
Can you do a video on the greenhouse gasses produced inside the greenhouse pls.
Is it only mulched on the north side or all the way around?
I would love to know how often do you "reset" the compost. When the compost is fully broken down. Is it a big job? Having a greenhouse here in Ireland and I think of your method for a winter crop
@@hanatlili9960 we hire a tractor guy and refresh the compost with some new on top.
