“My family starts building a cedar geodesic growing dome greenhouse with help from Arctic Acres at our off grid wilderness homestead. Despite heavy rain and hail, we get the cedar dome erected and start installing the clear panels before the weather turns even worse, stopping us from finishing. Tune in next week as we complete the build and start finishing the interior in preparation for growing season.”
“I build a solar shed, a fence to keep the moose out of the garden, work on the greenhouse and plant a permaculture garden with fruit and nut trees and bushes.”
