    Great video. Agree on starting with the plastic pop up greenhouses to learn. I made the mistake at one house and bought the harbor freight gh. No temp control, hard to cool, killed everything.
    I learned on my plastic pop up last three years and now I’m purchasing a large greenhouse with fans, water, electricity and heat.
    Dang those pests lol. Thanks for great info

    When this video started, I thought you would annoy me with useless off topic discussions (like: this is my cat or my neighbor has a boat). Not at all, your video was well presented and matched the title. It was crammed with good ideas as well as, useful, on point, relevant info. No time wasted here. I have no suggestions to make it better. Good job and thank you...

    We live where it gets below freezing on a regular basis and have a Dyna-Glo or Mr. Heater VENT-FREE infrared heater that is hooked up to a natural gas line so it stays on even if our electricity goes out. These heaters are affordable and don't have to be vented to the outside. They have 3 levels of heat and will come on and turn off to maintain the level you set. The fans aren't very strong so you need a good size fan to distribute the heat. Watch the corners near the floor where it will freeze if you don't have a fan to distribute the heat. After researching the difference between the infrared vs. the blue flame (the heaters come in both versions) we chose the infrared.

    Great information. My wife and I just purchased a 24'x36' hoop house with a 13' center. We mounted 23,000 btu heaters in it and ran electric to it from the panel from the main house. We live on 6 acres and we believe it should be the perfect size for all of the canning and food for the 5 and 7 year old that continue to eat us out of house and home lol Great content. thank you.

    You brought up a lot of very helpful points. I’m in central Texas and we’re building a greenhouse now. I mainly want it for seed starting or having an intermediate home for seedlings before they go out in the garden. I plan to try some season extension and experimenting with growing tomatoes and also protecting potted citrus. We do get a few freezes a year typically but it’s mostly fairly mild in winter. Summers are intense sometimes so I don’t plan on using the greenhouse to grow anything then. One extra thing to consider is proximity to a water source so you can easily water whatever’s growing inside the greenhouse. I’ll have the option to add drip later but will at least have a hose available. I’m looking forward to learning how the setup works here.

I am helping to create a community garden in a very rural area and we are presently building an 8 x 10 x 7.5 greenhouse. The purpose of the greenhouse is to grow seeds, protect seedlings, and store all the tools that are needed. Additionally, to roll in the vertical towers during the cold season in Utah.

    I live in Zone 5b. My back yard is brick and cement. What soil I do have (front yard) gets no sunlight and is covered in pine needles due to 2 large pine trees. The only space I have to garden is a VEVOR Walk-in Tunnel Greenhouse. I have no choice but to do all my gardening in the greenhouse. I have tried the past 2 years to have a garden in the greenhouse and I have failed. I would greatly appreciate any advice with what container/raised bed soil mix to use, if raised beds are better than containers, best fertilizers, starting seeds, best lights/grow lights to use, best temperature to maintain... Honestly any and all types of advice is needed. If there are others videos that would be beneficial I'd appreciate it as well. ThankYou!

There is an orientation for all the participants this weekend, and we will have our own table to use. We still are not sure how we're going to use our space, this all happened pretty quickly. We're excited. Thank you for this video, even though I am not choosing the greenhouse, knowing all the elements to be concerned about is quite educational.

    I am so glad I came across this video. I want a greenhouse to extend my growing season. My main question was about flooring. I am still uncertain if a permanent one will require a structured (brick, pavers, wood, etc) floor material or can it be built solely on soil.
    Thanks so much.

    in the north its more like used for like over wintering fig trees, easy harvest of carrots in winter, etc . deff not economical to "grow food" all winter in a greenhouse. heating would be insane unless you had like a half in the ground set up or something

    • @RootedRevival
      @RootedRevival  2 года назад +1

      I agree! We have fairly mild winters (some snow but temps don’t usually drop too far below 20) and it’s hard enough just keeping the chill off to overwinter things! You’d really have to figure out an amazing heating system to be efficiently growing all year. And, frankly, I enjoy my “winter break” 😆

    Do the black plastic shelves holding more heat in the summer? We're in zone 5b/6a.
    Related to that is using black greenhouse plastic as flooring vs a crushed granite or rock floor like you have?
    Watching your video made it clear that we would need to place ours near a water source. 1 of 4 locations just got ruled out!

    I am considering getting a greenhouse are there any crops that you wouldn't grow in a greenhouse? I am considering getting a 10x24 because I want to grow alot of veggies. Some of the veggies I want to grow are melons, sweet potatoes, white potatoes, cukes, squash, tomatoes, peppers, all leafy greens, all root veggies, Okra, coffee plant, Piper Nigrum plant, strawberries, blackberries, grapes, raspberries, herbs, and lots more. I want to also be able to set up some chairs and a table for my relaxing moments. I know it's very expensive for a greenhouse and want to make sure it's worth it. I was looking up the inside of greenhouses but it's not videos of the inside of greenhouses. I want to look at the benches or shelves that was build in one or can I just use the racks or shelves I have for indoors? Am I able to use a rack or will that block sunlight from some of the veggies?

  • @moss.1547
    @moss.1547 10 месяцев назад

    I live in Florida, so with the sun that’s bearing down on my plants. I need a greenhouse to keep them safe. So when I use a greenhouse, it’s for growing plants 24/7 out of the year. Unless the plant can withstand Florida’s sun, then I’ll put them outside but other than that they will not go outside outside of that greenhouse, of course.
    But because of that, I also have to deal with bugs that like they show up in your greenhouse and devour your plants without you even being aware of it. Compared to outside you have to always look at your plants to make sure the sun didn’t destroy it. Make sure bugs are not on it but in a greenhouse you would expect that your plants would not be attacked by bugs so often until you get little white bugs on your plants, eating it and drinking it dry, and then having ants show up and using them as cattle by farming, the sugar substance that they puke out

I’ve had this greenhouse for a year to Florida standards that is a miracle that I got it to still exist and not end up in a lake? 😂 so in 2024 I will get me a polymer greenhouse. So I can better grow my plants. 🪴 going from a 4’8x4’8 temporary greenhouse versus a new 6 x 10 heavy duty, polymer greenhouse

    Number 1 Beginner's Tip, & all you really need to know. ... "Understand what the role of a greenhouse is."
    A greenhouse sole purpose is to be a shelter to protect plants from cold weather.
    That's it. Outside of that purpose... you don't need a greenhouse.
    So now that the purpose of a greenhouse is understood... how you set up that greenhouse depends on what kind of plants you want to grow.
    I cannot comprehend, why every GardenTuber I see on RUclips, use their greenhouses as potting stations & storage sheds, for garden supplies & tools. There'll only be a few plants, & 80% of the greenhouse space is filled with stacks of empty pots, bags of soil, fertilizer, garden tools, garden carts, & a large work bench.
    These items don't need sunlight.

    Eeew, is that a big wasp nest hanging in your greenhouse over your head?? Why would you allow that to stay in your greenhouse? Those things are so nasty the way they sting people for absolutely no reason. I was floating in my pool 1 day for the 1st time after getting my pool and I was floating , starting to relax , and had my eyes closed when I began to feel a stinging sensation on my ankle. I quickly realized what it was and flipped into the pool brushing my ankle and let me just say, that was the most painful sting I have ever experienced. My ankle was swollen hurting more then the 1st day 2 & 3 days later. I hate those things. They aren't like bees where if you don't bother them, they won't bother you because they know they won't die after stinging someone so they aren't shy when it comes to passing their stinger out.
