I love this type of projects and the people that spend time on them are simply amazing. I plan filling my home and garden with micro greens. Would be really cool if i could ever achieve what this retiree has. I think basic plant growing and a little bit of practical agriculture should be part of school curricula. Losing such skill is detrimental to society. Anyone can grow at least one king of vegetable and it should be an encouraged practice, even in apartments.
In the early 2000's, I spent 5 years growing 'herbal medicine' in the basement of a couple of homes I lived in. One of the best experiences of my life. I learned everything about it, by just reading stuff on the internet and then actually doing it and experimenting with things. I don't think that we will ever lose that knowledge again though. It will just be a matter of continuously rediscovering it.
This might consistently be my favorite channel on YouTube. Kirsten and Faircompanies do very good work documenting interesting and innovative examples of sustainable living, building, growing, etc.

Will watch the video properly soon.
Does anyone know what the capital cost of the greenhouse at that size and the geothermal would be?
Quotes: $211 per lineal foot.
