Geodesic Dome Greenhouse - Part 6 - Concrete Block Walls
http://www.BigelowBrook.com/donate It took several weeks to set the concrete block walls for the dome. It's a shame the entire foundation will be backfilled and you will barely be able to see it. It's really a work of art! ;-)
Playing with a new experimental design for a strawberry clip. Will it work???

During the past couple of months, I've been playing around with my bell siphons. Back in 2012 when I was setting up the geodesic dome, I added a small cup to the breather tube to aid with the stopping of drain cycle. This has been working quite well but I've never liked having the cup as a separate piece since it's a bit annoying to insert bell while holding the cup in place. (Original video: https://youtu.be/4hHRe3KJfoY)
This past summer I invested in a 3D printer for a contract job and started having some fun designing some enhancements for the greenhouse with the revised bell siphon being one of the improvements.
There's really nothing new with the overall functionality, just integrating the cup into the bell housing so it's all one unit. Also, is a small improvement to Afnan cup that is used on the stand pipe to help get it started quicker.
This is a lengthy and detailed video because I wanted to cover all the functioning basics of a bell siphon in action. I also invested in a camera that could shoot at 240 fps so you could see how the siphon starts and stops in slow motion. The siphon break is so fast it can be difficult to see how it operates in real time.

This porcupine was out in the yard eating all the clover flowers. He was totally oblivious to me standing right next to him!

A quick video on how to control fungus gnats. Nematodes can also be used for controlling grubs like Japanese Beetles, and also fleas!

Today we're going to take a look at several types of greenhouses. These are just some of the more popular styles and there are many variations. It's simply some information to help provide some food-for-thought when you are ready to build one.

This is an update video about my aquaponic based system using a Harbor Freight 10x12 greenhouse. I am still amazed how well most of the plants will grow in it. For more info, please visit:

We're going to take a look at using Venturi tubes to aerate a deep water culture bed instead of air stones. The results may surprise you!

A bit different than my normal aquaponics videos! I just purchased a rough-cut mower from Northern Tools so let see how well it works.
