A Geodesic Greenhouse — Year-Round Gardening at 6000 Feet Video

Peak Moment 147: In Colorado it's cold for much of the year, but inside this cozy dome greenhouse, the plants are growing happily. Take a grand tour with Buckhorn Gardens manager and permaculturist Breigh Peterson: the greenhouse structure with its interplay of light and water, warmth and air; curving raised beds of vegetables and flowers; fish tanks moderating the temperature; vertical trellises and shelves to use vertical space. Outdoors a huge garden of row crops and a young orchard are complemented by free-roaming chickens and ducks. http://buckhorngardens.blogspot.com

aprilspl: Below I ment that this one is not rambling its just right! =-)

peakmoment: In this case it's the state of Colorado who claims all water rights. Still....

peakmoment: Thanks for your comment, aprilspl. I think most of us are used to tightly-edited (or shorter) videos that move faster (like movies). Since our two person team puts out a show every two weeks, we use the format of basically taping with minimal editing, to keep up that schedule. Otherwise they might never come out (editing takes a lot of time). Glad the content keeps you watching...Janaia (host)

hguyw: Love the Permaculture videos the best. They're empowering !

doublev316: I love these episodes where you tour these wonderful places. This one though is my favorite as I really like greenhouses and want to get a geodesic dome myself. 5 stars!

quantumsolutions: Absolutely Inspiring!!! Thank you so much for these! =))

quantumsolutions: Yes, Samailing, I am looking very seriously into The Freeman on the Land movement where people are flat out ignoring their person (which is a corporate entity) and reclaiming their natural born rights as human beings. You might enjoy this guy who thumbs his nose at police officers while doing 90 mph in a 45 zone--- All without a drivers license! (not that I would thumb my nose) Anyway, if interested here's a vid on it. watch?v=8Epdh8kG1LI This is a way to reclaim our Earth! Peace.

quantumsolutions: Oh, another thought. I think she is working the land for someone else who owns it. That idea was highlighted in the Anastasia Ringing Cedars series as well. A wealthy business man bought a little piece of land and then let a woman who loved to work the land grow food and live there for free. win/win. He got free organic food year round while she was happy as a clam. May more people consider working together like this.

SassafrasHomestead: Janaia, thank you and your camera person for all the great videos (and the rest of the crew, also). This was a good idea to show people the usefulness of domes as greenhouses. Five stars.

peakmoment: Thanks! We're aiming to do more tours, and welcome everybody's ideas of what topics and kinds of places you'd like to see us do. Janaia (host)

peakmoment: Thanks! That helps me gauge what we do... Janaia

peakmoment: on the internet go to localharvest (dot) org (/) csa change (dot) to . change (/) = / (youtube doesn't permit adding urls).

Bigbluewire: Great video. It appears that barely a week after the posting of this video that the law has changed regarding the collection of rainwater. nytimes(dot)com/2009/06/29/us/29rain(dot)html

andreschapero: fantastic video, these girls should be running that country, they should be in charge of everything-- EVERYTHING !--- (clear enough ?) Andres from Santiago, Chile.

swankrecords: Did you notice the marijuana plant? Quick eyes.

peakmoment: Andres, we appreciate your nomination, but I decline the job.. I think the country would be radically different...starting from the grass roots. But there are a lot of vested powers working to keep the status quo -- I fear they won't just sit by as we work towards a lower-energy, locally-based economy. But I appreciate your sentiments!

irgy709: the host is so cute, calling the plants "who" I am so envious of this dome! I'd love to spend my life in a place like that.

peakmoment: You're welcome Sassafras. There are two in our team -- Robyn behind camera and editor, me producing and hosting.

milkmood: Can anybody provide some more detail on the how-to of building the sandbag retaining walls?

estoboy29: iv got an idea to fix food and mat issues.place a pvc system over a building and run water through it, and let grow hemp for the first year to produce the materials needed to get eco friendly. fill our streets with hemp pots full of veggies and blast them with our lovely supersoakers. whos for that future?

boxa888: sooo awesome thanks so much! i have a massive greenhouse that i bought its like a industrial size but i havent set it up, but i cant wait to! it will be so great . thanks for these awesome videos!

vegan911: Go to raw foods , it will change your life!
