http://www.BigelowBrook.com/donate The rocket mass heater used in our aquaponic greenhouse works great, but needs a lot of pellets to keep it running. I'm trying to come up with a way to burn wood chip biomass. Before you say I'm wasting electricity grinding these up, this is an off-grid solar system and during the summer, I have surplus power - and what better way to use it but to grid up fuel for a time when it will really be needed!
It too four full days to get the floor leveled out. Find out why this one little detail is so important!

This is the end of our aquaponic grown banana tree. It was pretty amazing how fast it grew, but it just got too big for our greenhouse.

Here are some of the answers to some of the more common questions that are asked. If you have a question, please leave it in the comment section.
1) You have to heat your greenhouse a lot, why don't you add a plastic film on the inside of the dome or cover the dome in a blanket to help insulate it? OR use a triple-wall polycarbonate?
2) What's your opinion on plastics?
3) Where does that web4deb username come from?
4) Where will you end up when finished in terms of the volume of fish tank and the total surface area of grow beds? Also, how much of your total grow bed space is raft and how much will be media beds?
5) Would you build a larger dome some day?

I've started to pick fruit from the tomato plants, right on schedule. There were a few little mishaps over the past couple of weeks but nothing too catastrophic. Overall, I'm very happy with the progress!

Modifying the old wood stove to have a set of secondary burners (after burners) in it. What a huge difference it makes!

Today I spent a little time in the dome greenhouse planting some out-of-the-ordinary plants. As we (slowly) work on the larger greenhouse, the goal is to utilize the dome for some more of exotic varieties of plants.
