hey friends Welcome to our channel is a
greenhouse a good investment for
homesteaders and for small homesteads
well today we're going to talk about
whether it's benefited our family or not
let's get
[Music]
going before I talk about the greenhouse
I want to mention that we've got two
special offers in this video for a
limited time only and we're going to be
talking about those more in depth in a
few minutes but first let's talk about
whether this greenhouse has been a good
investment and a benefit for our family
on our Homestead and whether or not it
may be for you for some people growing
in a covered structure like this
greenhouse is the only way that they can
extend their seasons and get started
early so that they can plant and grow a
decent amount of food for their family
because obviously growing seasons are a
lot shorter in the north but you'd be
surprised even down here in Texas Zone
own 8B in the South it gets super hot so
having a greenhouse with shade covers on
it is incredibly important to nursing
your plants through that nasty hot
summer sun and that's one benefit of a
greenhouse is that you can control the
environment more so than obviously
outside so in here you can control the
water you can control the light you can
control the ventilation you can control
the pests a little bit better and those
are all incredibly important when you're
trying to grow food for your family now
one really great benefit is actually not
having to water as much and that's
because you don't have a massive open
space like just in an outside garden
that is getting wind pushing over it all
the time and drying out the soil in here
you do want good air flow and that's
really important in a greenhouse however
keeping the air flow relegated to
certain areas helps keep the moisture in
the soil preventing things from drying
out too quickly two really cool things
that you can do in a greenhouse that you
can't do many other places is overwinter
plants so for example these Peppers
behind us peppers A lot of people don't
know are a perennial and if you take
care of them in the winter time keep
them insulated keep them warm the plant
will not die and it will start producing
immediately in the spring and that gives
you a huge advantage to having the
peppers start producing fruit really
quickly in the spring and having a
greenhouse will give you the ability to
have Tropicals and subtropical growing
all year long so they might go a little
dormant in the winter time depending on
your climate but for us down here these
will produce all year round and if you
regulate the climate in here well enough
even if you're in a very cold climate
I've seen green houses in say Nebraska
they produce fruit oranges Tropicals or
sub Tropicals all year long and check
out this Chinese C cabbage even though
we are at 85° outside since we do have
our shade cloth on this is growing
really really well and it's not getting
overheated before I talk about those two
special offers that are happening right
now the last thing I want to tell you is
that if you are growing food year round
in a greenhouse you are actually saving
money you're saving money on the grocery
store in the middle of winter if you
haven't canned enough you've got fresh
food in your Greenhouse and for us
personally we will have things like
tomatoes eggplants and peppers through
most of the winter but again that's if
you can get all of your environmental
controls happening properly so the
greenhouse does help but when it drops
too low then you are going to need some
sort of supplemental heat so was this
greenhouse a good investment for us well
we initially paid about $3,000 for
everything it is a 20x 400 quinet and we
got it from grower solution and I would
say absolutely for the amount of food
that we are able to grow in here versus
the amount of food we would have spent
on groceries this has absolutely paid
for itself already just after a few
years and as inflation keeps going up
even on fresh fruits and vegetables in
the store this is going to even be a
better investment coming up in the
future okay so the first thing I want to
mention for a limited time only from now
until December 1st Growers solution the
manufacturer of this greenhouse is
having a big black Friday special with
free shipping on items over
$2,500 and when you are trying to ship a
greenhouse like this one that I have the
shipping nowadays with the gas prices
could be $4 to $500 so that free
shipping is a huge benefit not only does
grower solution make and sell green
houses they also have everything that
homesteaders and small farmers need to
produce and grow food so they have drip
irrigation they have ground cover they
have pots they have seed starting stuff
they have I could go on and on they have
a ton of different things that you can
also incorporate into that order they
have things like small hobby green
houses that I think start at
$1,200 and they have one called the
Dakota I think it's a Gothic Arch or I
could be wrong but the Dakota is a 16x
16 and it has Hoops like but it's not a
quantit shape and that one's 1,300 bucks
you can grow a solid amount of food in a
16x16 greenhouse on top of that they're
giving everybody a $100 gift card for
purchasing so you get the free shipping
and you get a $100 gift card that you
can spend at their store in the future
and that coupon code will be sent to you
via email after your order ships but
look down in the video description below
because there are a few nuances that you
need to go over and one of those is like
the shipping is only good for the lower
48 states and additionally on top of
that I'm going to be giving away to my
subscribers a $500 gift card from grower
solution I know that'll go a long way
for a lot of you in starting to get some
items for your homestead for growing
food what I'm going to have you do is
email me at the channel email address
which is listed on the about section at
the front of my page you have to be
subscribed to the channel to be able to
do this email me your name and address I
will put your name in a hat and we will
be having a drawing on November 30th and
we will draw the winner and if you know
anybody who would benefit from something
like that they're thinking about getting
a greenhouse have them subscribe to the
Channel first and then go through that
same process friends before I saved up
the money and bought this greenhouse I
knew the benefits of having a greenhouse
and how much of a good investment it
would be I made my own I DIY my own when
I first moved out here on the homestead
and it was a blessing and that gave me
the ability to take some Citrus that I
had growing in the ground at our house
in Houston and bring it up here 4 hours
North and have it survive with no
problem if I wouldn't have put together
that original greenhouse and I didn't
buy this then I would not have been able
to do that so make sure you head Below
in the video description and you click
on the link for grower solution and you
get that coupon code now go click on
these videos right here which is our
series on how we built this greenhouse
by ourselves have a beautiful blessed
day see you next time
