what a nice notification as i get in from work.

9:12 my that is a big radish ;) At least I'm not alone in misspeaking and switching the names

Great video! How are you even going to eat that monster radish? Or will you preserve it for posterity?

dreamer

Really nice improvements to the setup. With enough water circulation you should be able to grow plenty of rucola in there ;)

Some great progress here, potentially enough to make 2 episodes. I am not complaining though i prefer nice long videos. time lapses at the end are always great as well

You could drill some holes in the bottom and have a pipe underneath leading to the water tank?

If the floor doesn't bow and deform just angling it toward the sump should do that. If things were pressurized it would help, if that's still a CHB goal.

Paul Stamets mentioned in a podcast that Bees actively seek out mycelium. They seem to derive some (medical?) substances from it. Maybe that's the reason they like the dirt?

Cool, I like the banana trees and the radishes.

where did you put the dirty water from the lower tank?

I like the upgraded robocody.

Cool progress! If it ever rains the bottom of that solar panel is going to get splashed up with dirt and get shaded. (Rain might not be a common problem there though lol!)

great vid as usual cody :) i hope you can get the mycelium to kick off there, althought that might be better suited to one of teh subterrainian spaces due to the heat. also i was watching teh whole CHB playlist earlier and you seem to have a couple of minecraft vids at the end of that for some reason.

Great episode, Robocody's rocksmashing skills are very useful! I'm a little bit worried about the old water you dumped out containing some nasties in it like those amoebas you hear about in the news these days, hope you weren't scratched up on your feet when in there

This tree contains "princess" in the name, so i'm gonna wipe my butt with it! :D. Also i think that the watter barrel should be put underground to cool down the water. This should also reduce the temperature inside the greenhouse one.

for my garden i put some clay in the soil so that it has a better time at keeping water in the soil even in high heat conditions. You should give it a try.

You're wasting so much sweet sweet solar by running a mains pump on an inverter. Those inverters are not great when it comes to losses and they quite often have quite high standby current. A 12v timer and pump maybe?! And you can have the regulator send the excess energy throufh a resistor in the greenhouse to add some energy

Asked in youtube comments but then realized that you might not see because. Comments. Are you using the algae in your compost? It's a great source of nitrogen and phosphates in compost.

Actually. There's a thought. Are you washing the nutrients out of your soil? Can you test the water before you water and then test the runoff (Use an aquarium nitrate test kit). Algae needs more than light to grow it also needs nutrients. If you're losing the soil nutrients you might want to see what you can do to retain them.

Probably wouldnt be a bad idea to just plumb in some drains for the low spots to run back into the main water tank at the bottom. And maybe even a drain somewhere on the water tank for when/if you need to drain it again.

You should probably slope your greenhouse so that the water will drain into the sump reliably. 1/4" per foot is traditional.

He mentioned he wanted the seeds from this guy. The video also showed it flowering at his home garden. Not a bad idea. Might be a slight trait that allows that radish to survive better and grow larger in his greenhouse.

Anonymous

Curious if he could build a doorway for his bees without any water loss. Probably good enough to let them by leaving the door open for a few hours every now and then.

i could watch you do all this all day every day ... :)

Cody you could probably solve your evaporative water loss and overheating issue by installing a dehumidifier or air conditioner in the tank. The condensed moisture could be drained into your sump tank while the heat could be pumped outside the tank. You'll probably need more solar panels though...

I had the same thought. The loamy soils that hold the most plant available water have around 20-30% clay. The clay will also help build soil organic matter.

Maybe aeration would help get rid of all those bad amoebas and bacteria?

I think those both use a *lot* of power and they'd probably need to run a lot. I would try a covered soil layer connected to the main soil troughs and hope for spread :D

so i was watching a few of your older vids today. one of which was the Stirling engine vid you done almost 4 years ago now. at the end of it you said that you wanted to scale it up and use it to power your house. With the temperature at your ranch, and maybe a lens to focus the heat from the sun, would that be a viable power source for the CHB? id imagine you could do something similar on mars, using focused solar energy and the atmospheric temps as the 2 temperature differences
