Yes, it was a strange year my cousin in Saginaw planted and was washed out three times last year. The third time he threw in the towel. This is the first time in 50 years that he did not have a garden. I know another guy that grew his own food for he and his wife. They figured they needed to put up a minimum of 100 quarts of tomatoes alone. Are you guys anywhere near that now? If not do you have plans to be? I think the idea of growing certain crops in the "greenhouse" is a good one given the weather in the area. Six mil UV protected plastic sheet on the outside with a second six mil anti condensation sheet on the inside. You can always use old style incandescent filament light bulbs for a heat boost, if you can spare them from the chicken brooder. Other plastic sheeting will be fine as a short term fix.

Yes it was a very strange year for planting and weather. Many gardens failed this year.
I plan to grow sensitive plants in the multiple greenhouses. The one by the house will be heated by air from the house itself through ducts. This will be more of an all year greenhouse then.
I have 6 mil plastic for the outside. And 4 mil for the inside.
We canned about 50 to 60 pints of tomatoes over all. But that is less than half of what I want for next year.
From the ice hanging of the roof on today's video you are already heating the surrounding area. How much propane have you used so far this winter?
There is a small bit of space upstairs which loses heat. A friend told us we should stuff insulation in there.
We have only used 1/4 of a 20 lb tank for our cook stove so far this winter.
how do you know the level of propane in a 20# tank? A friend told you to stuff insulation in a space inside your home? How dense are you? Keeping the cold out is a priority in northern climates but you didn't know until a friend told you? Thank God for friends or you would freeze to death.

@troyreidlies .......follow my blog about diy aquaponics on my STEEMIT
remember trog's attempt at aquaponics? What a disaster. Poor fish died and we all knew he would fail at keeping the greenhouse fire going. Karma hits him hard and often.
Trog even lied about the goldfish in the frozen greenhouse earlier in steemit. He said that he had sold them.
Well, now that you have already insulted me....
It is in a tiny space hardly visible between the floor and the roof upstairs. You have to stick your head down in there and shine a light to see.
So that is why I had no idea.
I did not build the house.
Someone else did.
Insult them if you want.
Anyway, I am thankful for the heat loss due to the wood stove being too hot in here.
Live in northern Michigan and you are thankful for heat loss????????? Is this a joke or you really believe that? If you really are using that wood stove and burning pine and the stove gets the shack too hot most normal people would not take a chance on burning down their home . Ok, I answered my own question.

@jessiescott upvoted and resteemed :)
how do you know the level of propane in a 20# tank?
I guess you dont have a BBQ grill?
By feel.
And by the condensation on the sides sometimes.
Yes I have a grill but the small bottles are either mostly full or almost empty. In between I have no idea the difference. Even tried the level gauge strips and the gauges but none were accurate. I would never be able to judge a quarter of a tank is what I meant.
The gauges are garbage. I tried them too.
I grew up around propane since my Dad works with it.
I got used to just picking it up, shaking it and telling how much is in it.
Propane must be eating him up. No one would show a dinky little pile of PINE firewood and say I'm almost out in the middle of December in upper Michigan unless firewood was not their source of heat. I watched a video of his today showing snow on the roof of the greenhouse but not a spec of plastic sheeting. Lazy to the bone. No insulation for the roof to be melting that much snow. I saw in the video the wood stove still not hooked up. Someone is deceiving the very people he depends on for his income.
Yes, someone certainly is deceiving people.
Please tell me where you get the idea the wood stove is not hooked up???
It is all we use for heat these days.
Fire wood is free heating energy.
Now, unless you can show absolute proof that we do not use the wood stove - then you are slandering us and that is criminal
firewood is not free dumbass. it takes WORK which has tangible value to go get it.if you wernt getting wood you could be working at a job and earning money. something youre in no danger of doing anytime soon. the chainsaw isnt free. they cost money to buy. the chains,bars,gas,oil,wear and tear on the truck to go get it,the gas for the truck,etc. you are deluding yourself again that firewood is FREE.
No chainsaw was free oh and the chain and everthing else he gave a sob story about his garage sale chainsaw AND BAMMM a brand new Stihl chainsaw from a gullible viewer ( but remember he dosent beg)
How often did you show the stove in the dumpsite 1.0 ? Regularly, but now you never do. The heater you claimed to cook the soap on has a very thin metal firebox that would easily warp if you used pine which is the worst wood for laying down creosote and burns like balsa wood and can burn down your house. I would rather give you credit for being smarter than that so I'm saying I don't think you are using it. I don't see a 20# tank outside the kitchen of the shack so please tell me its not INSIDE your living space. That is not safe.
Interesting. So you are saying that you have been to my home and looked outside for a propane tank?
Because I never showed it on video or talked about it. So how do you "not see" one unless you were here stalking us?
That "heater" I showed on video clearly already.
You just spread lies and confusion.
Stalking and harassing us in the real world and online like this is criminal.
Though I do live very close I have never been to your house- just trust my on that. I only know what I have seen on your videos. No 20# tank near the kitchen because you showed it in today's video showing the snow on the roof of the greenhouse and the icicles hanging from the eaves. Do you not know what you filmed? Your comprehension skills are less than zero. Where did I say I have been to your house. I really think you should get a police report and hire a top notch attorney if you think I am stalking you. We will also clear up the accusation that I said you were a baby rapist and liked to have sex with men being the reason for the trip to the CAI headquarters in Australia. I never claimed you liked to take it in the butt. Whatever I actually believe is none of your concern because lots of men marry to throw off the gay stink. Nothing wrong with that. So if you think I'm stalking you, you should file a police report and get it on record. Whether my legal team comes back at you full force and destroys you is none of your business.
there you go again reid. redirection to a legitamate question. what are you hiding that you cant answer a straight up question? could it be you really have that 20lb propane tank in the kitchen? and asking a question is not "spreading lies and confusion".the only people stalking you are the township officials and the deputy sherriffs because of your goofy,bizarre behavior. like not having a job and making people wonder where you derive your income from. that raises a flag to police about the possible drug activity. face it reid. YOU ARE A FUCKING WEIRDO AND EVERYONE NOTICES.
You've showed it in several videos...Out by the tree line...
Troy , are you Melanie and Michelle living at 4489 Pine Road Lewiston Mi all the time ? or are you all living someplace else and just coming to 4489 pine road to film?
Did you know that it is a violation of privacy to show someone's full home address and names without their consent?
Did you know that stalking and harassment online and in the real world is a crime punishable by law?
there is that stalking shit again. We are on a public forum. Now if you want to go private with just a very few of your well paying fans that is your decision but on steemit this isn't stalking its actually making money for steemit.
It is criminal to post someones true full information online without their consent.
I dont care how you word it - what you are doing is criminal.

@pineroadhoa, Dick Head will never answer that question and expose more lies.
So you will set up easy access for mice and rats to come into your house through ductwork? I like that idea very much and see no problems with it. Are you familiar with the temps a greenhouse needs for vegetables to grow and produce (not just stay above freezing) I don't think you will be capable of heating it to that temp. Then you will have the underground greenhouse in the shade next to the garden. How much heat will be required to heat that to a temp capable of vegetables producing? I don't think you have thought this through. You are relying on the ground temp being 50 degrees but neglect to factor in the extreme temps on the roof at night and even most days in the winter. Well it will serve you well as a trash pit the second year since it won't work as planned. Just trying to help.
@troyreidlies.................... AGAIN ,HIS OWN WORDS...................I plan to grow sensitive plants in the multiple greenhouses. The one by the house will be heated by air from the house itself through ducts. This will be more of an all year greenhouse then. I take it to mean since he has a climate different than anyone else there , that the air surrounding his greenhouse which he plans to bring into it by duct work must be almost tropical in nature to enable him to grow the MOST SENSITIVE PLANTS year round ................AGAIN HIS WORDS TAKEN FROM HIS STEEMIT COMMENT
you read where you need 300 jars per year for a family. So whats in the jars? Jelly, vegetables, sauces, preserves- Thats less than I jar a day and you wouldn't count jellies and jams and preserves as a meal so how does that work? I jar of vegetables a day? That would be 365 jars. Not understanding how the math works. Some days you eat a jar of jelly? So you eat nothing from the jars 65 days a year? Weird.
Strange year? Get real, your entire youtube career has been taking advantage of viewer sympathy for money and donations and gifts because another disaster hit you and it was always just a strange weather phenomenon or nature's animals doing what they do or your lack of financial sense. Using that crap plastic on a greenhouse is a waste of time and money. Go to a garden center or on the internet and buy greenhouse covering that lasts many years and protects the plants much better. Just a strong wind will demolish crap plastic as you have already found out at the first dumpsite.
