Geodome greenhouse with hydroponic towers

yeah, there is a Japanese method where they burn the outer layer of wood to make it more resistant to weather (they use it for cladding)
the idea is that burnt wood can’t rot.

It not only protects against moisture, but also against insects.

How could I miss this topic. Great Job.

And yes they do it every where, burning the wood for protection. Even more, it helps to protect against fire. It’s a real shield. We do/did learn this at school how to do it.

4 raised beds for the greenhouse finished, let’s see how many there will be in the end. Now all that’s missing is the assembly of the dome…

Yesterday we organised a family barbecue and set up the Geodome on the side. Thanks to the many helping hands and conscientious preparation, it went faster than expected. Here are a few impressions of the result.

out of curiosity, do you have an estimate of the time (man-hour) and cost it took ? not the elaboration but purely fabrication ?

Joy can’t be exchanged for hours of labor or measured in €, nor in $
