your one of the people that got be dedicated to gardening started with raised beds and had huge success, also container gardening now im going to built cold frame raised beds and start a beehive this 2017 as 2016 wasnt that good on me so i didnt have much time to invest.

Your cold frame window looked like glass but I imagine it is plastic, right.

Have you ever played around with the idea of using compost piles to help heat up your hoop houses/greenhouse? I know space is limited and you don't need as much compost as you did in the past so this might not be for you but I was just wondering :) Also I love the modifications you are making. I rally want to see how your double hoop house works over those carrots. Great design to be able to remove both at once. Thanks as always for sharing!
-
omg. thanks for the ideas. I like the end caps.
-
or even line your grow beds with black pvc pipe filled with water to act as a heat sink
-
even at that you could still have 90 square feet of space
-
have you ever thought about making a hot compost pile inside your hoop house to add heat?

Brilliant. (I kept saying ...wow!) I love the idea of covering the sunchoke bed with a temporary grow bed...wonderful! I have a bed of sunchokes I didn't pull up yet... :) thanks for your sharing & I love how your creative thought processes are making possibilities for all of us to grow more food! Thanks so much.

Really good! And beautiful too. I will try to use some of your great ideas myself here in Norway, where we have a very cold and long winter :-) Thank you for all your videos, very inspiring.

Thanks for the postings. You have inspired me to build a hoophouse. I decided to give fall and winter growing a shot I managed to scrounge some 2" gas line, from a construction project, for ribs, added with a roll of scrounged reinforced plastic sheeting. Added some stuff I had laying around, and now have a 14X20 enclosure. I have about $30.00 invested in a tubing, and screws.

We've enjoyed and learned a good deal from your videos! Because we're in zone 7a we and it's hard to know if summer will be dry or muggy we're looking to start considerably earlier in the spring. We do have cold, and we have snow, but we also have long blocks where it's cool but no snow and the garden is dead south. How much temperature change might each layer give us, and have you tried growing Chinese cabbage, or celery, under cover?
-
Smart.
-
Are you planning on starting anything new, or have you already planted your starts? I looked at your excel sheets (With and W/O Protection). Thanks

I live in Northern Maine in zone 3-4. I have sunchokes and both my wife and I prefer the taste of them in April as opposed to October or November even though we have had a few nights below freezing. My Red Russian Kale does much better now that we have had a few frosts that have killed off the bugs that were eating the kale. Thank you for your videos, I look forward to each one.

Did you ever make a how-to video for those double layer cold frames? I've tried searching the channel but just can't find it. Love what you're doing, so many wonderful ideas to try this winter and next!

Nice video, Patrick!

I am impressed great ideas.

Dear Patrick ,
I am new to gardening . your ideas and presentations are exceptionally practical and frugal . your vertical cold frame redesign and Hinged low tunnel are brilliant
write a book for easy referance -
Patrick, have you thought about writing a book? Your ideas are inspiring!

I loved it and by looking the abundance of greens I think I should take over and hibernate in the cold frame.
