RE: Knocking Snow and Ice Collected On Top of the Hoophouse Greenhouse

in #homesteading8 years ago

Really makes the plants grow. Plants in a none vented greenhouse will use up all the co2 and suffer. A prophane heater will burn up the ox making the greenhouse co2 rich. They like this the same way outdoor plants do and why the planet as a whole is getting greener due to man made co2.

Wow! That makes perfect sense! Thanks for this info which wasn't already obvious to me. I suppose you could potentially put animals into the greenhouse to get a similar effect.

Quail would work well. I have raised them before in a hoophouse and in tractors. My issues is I have to drive hours to get organic feed.

Did a video of my small walipinni a few days ago you might dig it. I have 55 gallon drums in mine to act as a solar bank.

Awesome! Every little bit of warmth, protection and thermal mass adds up! I love it :) You're inspiring my future greenhouse.
