Pretty impressive! This guy makes a passive greenhouse work even on the Canadian Prairies at -35C. He's growing all sorts of crazy tropical stuff, not just lettuce and tomatoes.

Oh Yeah - his setup, design, and use of materials is awesome ! Watch his youtube channel - seriously this guy has it going on ! I can only imagine how mentally taxing the ceiling insulation job was though...

I want to cross post this in community because this is my DREAM. Only mountains too maybe ?

It’s not cold - you just need better gear and a better attitude

I brought this back from the farm where they grow the tiny ads:
