This is a key component to year-round sustainability.
I am growing 2 avocado trees, 3 guava trees, 1 meyer's lemon, 2 passion fruit, 5 kiwis, and 1 mango tree.

I have two massive compost piles dividing the dome so I have year round composting and so the pile can give off heat.

I AM using a propane heater to supplement, but only if the natural temperature drops below 40F. I am not crazy about this, but it is a step in the right direction. Having a thermostat is crucial for proper greenhouse use.

Ive got a box fan on the ceiling of the dome that blows warm air (which rises) back down to the bottom, and my little walkway around the hot-tub give a little low point for the coldest air to rest into, while the trees (which are higher up) stay just a little bit warmer. Its important to give the cold air a place to go.

I know it might sound ironic to use fossil fuels to grow trees that shouldnt be grown in Minnesota to begin with, but it is a work in progress, and I think that the backup propane is only needed 2-3 months out of the year. (and only because I do not live there yet to use scrap wood to keep it warm instead)

Note*** My jacket is 100% vegan...that fur is faux fur. No animals were harmed in the making of this video or this greenhouse :)

Thanks for watching!

Great greenhouse!!! Too bad I could never get a permit for that here =(

[Rawmodel]

seriously you should try. Its just a greenhouse. I wouldnt do a dome kit again anyways...maybe you can build a pyramid off of 2 meter high walls that are super thick...thats what I would do. That dome was just too damn much for what it is.

[Rawmodel]

Lord, the unconsciousness of some people. Of what value to all/any of us is extreme negativity and derision towards others? In fact, the positivity exhibited here in the cold and with the bare start of an undertaking...THIS is what is of value in this world. And how such endeavors bring fruition - as evidenced in other of his videos. Refraining from name-calling, judgments, and insults require self-restraint for every one of us. Yet, we're far more appealing people as a result.

Love it. Thank you so much!!! I so, want to do what you've done with your permaculture. It looks like a huge undertaking. Thank you for posting.

You're an inspiration so just ignore the idiots who aren't even worth mentioning. ;)

[Alliejayhawk]

Love it. Thank you so much!!!

I didn't think dead trees still grow... hmmmm

[FreedomFox1]

Think I’ll cancel my trip to Bali and just buy my tropical fruit in the market.

[MsKarenrankin]

[Nervjiggy]

Lmao all your shit is dead.

People leaving negative comments don't know what they are looking at in this video. I think this is awesome, you are really doing something admirable. Growing your own food, building your own greenhouse and experimenting. That takes innovation and guts!
