We are a family of seven living on a 20 acre homestead in the piedmont region of North Carolina. We started this channel almost a year after beginning our adventure with hopes of documenting all of our random projects and steady progress as we restore and upgrade this neglected farm. Along the way, we hope to share thoughts about faith, family, and life out here for anyone that might be considering a transition to a more self-sufficient life in a rural setting. AMDG+

What else are you doing for your pond? Clarifier? Muck control? Beneficial bacteria? Barley straw bales? Etc...
You can also vaporize with thyme oil
The printed squares on my sticky board came off when I wiped off the old oil
Might get dust and feathers in pump filters if housed with animals.
Hello friends! Any update please? Did the pipes fill up with water ever?
Hello friends! Any update please? Did the pipes fill up with water ever?
Hey...6yrs later...can we please get an update? I have 1 question...did the pipes fill up with water ever??
We stay in southern spain, whwre it can get to 40 degrees C(104 fahrentheit) And coldest in winter will only be -2 in early mornings (28 fahrentheit) So we sont need to keep thw heat in but ratjer get it out as moat of the year is warmer not colder, So i wo t be putting foam around the hole, simoly to just get rid of the heat more, as that is the biggest problem for us.
We love these and eat the stems with them. This is a Fall variety for us in Michigan. I tend to pick them as small "buttons" because the larger they are, the more tiny white larvae they have. Just leave some in a bucket in your garage for a couple days and you'll see what was not noticeable when first picked. Once cooked, they freeze well in freezer bags. Add them to stews, casseroles, etc. Very tasty. Don't mind the slimy texture!
I've done this and it didn't work for me.
Did I miss it where is the drain?
you under-estimate the buoyancy of warm/hot air, it takes a lot of power to push hot air *down* into the underground tubes. Your fans will not produce the expected cfm. The tubes will also add a 'static pressure' loss, further lowering the cfm. The leaf-blower has the power needed (1 horsepower ~ 746 watts) to move the air. Your little fans ... don't.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing your family project with the rest of us!
Can that unit be used infant of a washer? I'm hoping to put our washer and dryer in a place I don't have any hot water. Thanks
I use bamboo and tie bells to the top of the bamboo. They’re very flexible every time they touch the ring works perfect.
What's happening in the green house? How did it work in the winter?
35 deg? Even in the middle of winter the air temp wont be that cold. That seems too cold to me or am i wrong
can worm not eat through the isolation foam?
Thank you !!
I think its your 6" pipe manifold. Thats why i asked if it was a clos3d system. Think of how water flows in the place of air. Do you have a bunch of turns & bends for the air/water to travel? 😮
Great job! Use stakes to mark the plants. Once the potsget wet. You might not be able to read them.😮
👋 if your building up in Canada, i would suggest doing a Walipini instead. Save & use all the earth. Adding geo-thermal to a walipini you can almost grow tropicals.😊
Is that a closed sy?
System?
Nice! Thank you. Got everything at Home Depot for $70 (2024 California). Made use of a $40 gift card I’ve been carrying around for at least a couple years. And I’m there weekly 😅
Thank you! Im wondering if its possible to cool a greenhouse from 40 Celsius to 20 Celsius using your method?
I'm a girl and have 21 acres of Ancient Oak . I have a 4 inch chainsaw and hand saw and slowly working my way through maintaining it and freeing up from overgrowth. I make piles of branches etc. for the wildlife and big branches to decompose back into the ground . It's amazing how finely tuned it all is .. In the summer it grows crazy with wildflowers etc and come winter all gone . It's hard work on my own , but will continue until I meet my nature loving bae .
Thanks for posting. We are at the point of adding the drains and now we know to go buy bigger pipe before we start
Thank you for the video. We are getting ready to purchase a plucker. Trying to decide has been overwhelming. However we have not been able to make the discount code work. Suggestions???
Do you offer consultation for this ?
Something happened…. Vibes
Stupid buzz words, its not a battery.
I can see this design hurting/damaging deer so not a fan of that as much as we want to keep deer out.
Dude thank god. It’s not even Mother’s Day yet and the deer ravished my grape vines. It never occurred to me to use fishing line. Thank you thank you
Thank you for the video! I want to try this on my garden. We live in the woods in the UP and have tons of deer. Have you tried this as a long term solution? Do the deer eventually figure out how to get through?
What great videos! You explain so well, you give me the confidence to try something similar. Thank you so much for sharing!
Idiot does not understand what an earth battery is. Dumb low IQ shit.
It would be interesting to bury a septic tank or square shipping tub as a heat retaining void to reduce back pressure and increase vol surface area to dirt as well.
I think holes drilled in framing could share air.
Great vid, I use tubs on a way small scale to run hot air on way down and it transfers to water. Your dog thought he liked digging,
just use green board sheet rock
when you do video saying how to insulate do that no bs talking please.bty good framing
Thank you so much for your very helpful videos! It's great to have someone semi-local to me to follow (I'm in E TN.) Can you tell me why I should try to do the treatments with most or all of the bees inside the box? I just did this for the first time and wasn't able to do it at a time when they're all inside. Thanks again!
I'll tell you that the eco smart customer service is great I had a problem with one after several years and they sent me the parts I needed and a couple other things that were replaceable just in case. I ended up buying another one for my off grid place
Great solution for Messy sucks 😂😂 Thanks a Lot!
You did a fantastic job on this video. Thank you for your time.
are you isolating the heatexchanger ?!!!! wtf dude !!!
Five years on, is there an update video? (EDIT: I have just checked the channel and this is the last video posted on this channel 5 years ago so, sadly, I guess not).
Fascinating video but I can't help thinking digging the pit before erecting the greenhouse frame would have been easier...
Mona Lisa socks ??? Very cultured 😊
How are you dealing with condensation and bolt and seam leaks? Quonsets aren't like attics, thers's no ventilation in rhat aor space between the insulation and the metal ao condensation will get trapped. You could spray the outside with a membrane to solve the inevitable leaks, but that doesn't mitigate condensation, the membrane would cost about $2/sf too, depending where you live Unfortunately you built yourself a mold factory dude, also a haven for mice. I know it's incredibly expensive, but you should take the framing down and spray foam. If you aren't concerned about mice you could spray the outside with a membrane and dense pack cellulose. Dense packed cellulose would solve the condensation issue and the membrane would solve leaks, but mice would love to live in and tear apart the cellulose. Cellulose is much much much less expensive than spray foam. You posted this 2 years ago so you definitely have mold in the walls already. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
