So you've got your dream wofati sunken greenhouse, now what do you do with that south (in northern hemisphere) wall?  It doesn't get enough light to grow anything, and if you're like most of us, it just becomes a junk magnet.

Well, this lady has come up with a thoughtful approach to use it as a root cellar!


If you don't feel like streaming right now, I've attached the basic layout and chart for her target temperature/humidity for each crop.
(She's even accounted for offgassing by separating crops that spoil each other.)

This was a very thought-provoking video so I thought I'd share.

As I understand it, one of the primary historical sources is the booklet "Electroculture" by Justin Christofleau, which can be downloaded for free online, including here: https://archive.org/details/Electroculture_127/mode/2up

Great addative to fried chicken. Tenderize and leave to soak in pickle juice for a couple hours - doesn't taste "pickley" at all, but helps to make it extra tender and juicy.

Leaving aside the whole debate whether flow frame hives are good/bad, what is not up for argument is that they are priced way out of reach for most of us to even experiment with.

In this new video, Hoochos uses a combination of DIY and Chinese knock-off flow hive parts to get the price down to something a little more attainable.

Once I was on a train and a pretty woman said “Every time you smile I just want to invite you back to my place!”

I asked her if she was single.

“Actually I’m a dentist.”

Just found out Matt Powers is hosting a new regenerative soil this month, starting Friday.

I've learned a lot from his past events, so I plan on attending this for sure.   See you there!

New video I found interesting.
The short synopsis: 2ft section produces 539ml of water per hour and consumes 40 watts.
 He compares that to standard dehumidifier that consumes about the same amount of power but produces only 60ml per hour.

Plus, this version is designed to be installed directly above row crops.  Pretty cool


Also, I'm thinking high-voltage wire also serves as a great deterrent for creatures attempting to eat said crops, so win-win when it comes to function stacking.

In the video below, this guy uses dissolved styrofom in xylene (I've used regular acetone before, and that works too) but then he uses it as a varnish.  Great idea!
To make a wood stain he then mixes it with "cholera", which, I'm guessing is not the word he meant. :)  Looks like shoe polish, I'm guessing.

Still, varnish and stain have gotten outrageously expensive of late, so a real "trash-to-treasure" idea, there!

Concerning the OP:
Another possible option for power windows, what about salvaging car power windows from a junkyard?  They have all the motor and mechanics all figured out, and it works off 12v so ideal for an off-grid tiny home.
