- culi 3mo agoAlmost all the videos on this channel are fascinating btw. Greenhouses enveloping entire houses/villages[0][1] in northern Europe to earthships[2] to someone growing citrus in Nebraska using trenches[3] to entire villages underground in Australia[4] [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irp_HPzfxbQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irp_HPzfxbQ [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzKSKqjEmDA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzKSKqjEmDA [2] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVp5koAOu9M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVp5koAOu9M [3] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZD_3_gsgsnk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZD_3_gsgsnk [4] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coober_Pedy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coober_Pedy I'd also recommend the channels FLORB and Happen Films though they're admittedly a little corny. https://www.youtube.com/@happenfilms https://www.youtube.com/@happenfilms https://www.youtube.com/@FloatingOrbProductions https://www.youtube.com/@FloatingOrbProductions Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't recently did a tour of an interesting alt home as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YyWspKzbAw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YyWspKzbAw
- aa-jv 3mo agoIf these kinds of videos appeal to you (as they do, me), then you would also like the "Mossy Earth" and "Project Kamp" channels, which document various re-wilding and forest management/alternative housing projects going on in various regions. https://www.youtube.com/@ProjectKamp https://www.youtube.com/@ProjectKamp https://www.youtube.com/@MossyEarth https://www.youtube.com/@MossyEarth Very inspiring to be honest, I find myself looking for tiny home project ideas at least twice a month, alongside the perpetual scouting for cheap land in my neighborhood. I'd absolutely love to have the opportunity to participate in the construction of underground gardens, if only there were more projects like that out there. It fills all the Uncle Owen / Mos Eisley dreams I've had since 1977. ;) Anything to escape the concrete jungle rat-on-a-treadmill situation that most of us are in. At least I gave up the car trap .. no more commutes for me ..
- culi 3mo agoYes, I'm a fan of Project Kamp (and everything the Precious Plastic crew does) and Mossy Earth though sometimes their content feels a bit too polished/markety for my taste. But if you're into that you will absolutely relish everything Andrew Millison does. He's taught permaculture at Oregon State and then went on to work for the UN and made some astounding showcases of climate solutions from around the globe https://www.youtube.com/@amillison/videos https://www.youtube.com/@amillison/videos
- aa-jv 3mo agoThanks for that, putting it on my list - I think this industry is ripe for massive growth, personally. I concur that Mossy Earth can be a bit too slick .. but on the other hand, their projects are simply great. I live pretty close to one of their river re-wilding efforts, and it just keeps getting nicer and nicer.
- fransje26 3mo agoThank you for sharing! Just having went through a few episodes of violent thunderstorms with hail this month, I cannot help but wonder how resistant those glasshouses are?
- culi 3mo agoThose are repurposed commercial greenhouses! Modern commercial greenhouses are custom-engineered to withstand hurricane-force winds (90 to 150+ mph) and heavy snow loads
