Thank you everyone for the comments! It has been a lot Of work getting it all planted and going! Steve I did plant about 8 or so GM Paggi in there! I can’t wait to try them. Some should bloom this spring!

I have considered geothermal! We have a similar geound temp here as well! And yes we do have plenty of ground on top of our hill! If we expand my thought is having 4-5 greenhouses connected together all running with geothermal fans and the black 4” coil drain pipe! I left room so it could be added easily! If anyone is curious or has greenhouse go on YouTube and search geothermal greenhouses! You can easily heat and cool with just fans and drain pipe!

I will not have any lights. However I will have electric! Most winters we have mild temps in and lows in the 40s. When cold fronts hit the temps will spike down to sometime the mid 20s! Usually only for the last few morning hours before the sun comes up! Then it warms up. My thoughts is just using my 50k btu forced air propane heater just to get the temps up around midnight or so. Then hopefully it will hold out until morning. I am not allowed to use any permanent heating! At all! But I am allowed to use portable “emergency” heating. I’ve also though about running the sprinklers overhead with the well water. Which will be ground temp! Just an idea. Not sure how effective it would be.

Today we had our first high winds since we built the structure! Wow i was worried a few times. We had gusts today upto 40mph! I know it’s made to handle it but being around it during the wind makes you very nervous! Lol.

I’m very excited and it should be a fun learning experience! The planting is going great! I’ll get some update pictures in the next few days.
