When the ceiling fan is running, you sometimes get the feeling that the time has come…
hey, you are still young!
next he’ll tell us he “installed a sound system so he can play some mozart to the tomatoes”
but we all know Cotti is a raver. He is just making his own rave party bubble.
Orange lightening and some add-ons could produce a Jack-o-Lantern, but Halloween season isn’t so big in Germany and jack-o-lanterns are not part of Fasching.
Will it alternately blink green and red for Christmas?
For the sake of the neighbourhood, I have decided to change the colour on a daily basis at most and not to activate flashing.

Hi @Cotty, I don’t know what country you are, but how did your greenhouse handle the summer, were you able to control the heat?
I want to build a greenhouse myself and I’m trying to decide what shape it should have. I’m leaning toward a simple design with a double-slope roof, so it’s easier to cover it with a shade tent during the hot summer days. But I’m also very tempted to build a dome-shaped one.
Could you tell me the disadvantages of this type of greenhouse? Would you build it the same way again, or what would you change?
Thank you.
Hi Max,
My greenhouse is located roughly in the middle of Germany.
The maximum temperature recorded by the logger was 43 °C, but only briefly and on one occasion. I have two windows in the upper section that open automatically when it gets hot, and we often turned on the fan when the weather was sunny (the electricity came from a PV system), so temperature was never really a problem.
The longer you spend looking at geodesic domes, the more fascinating they become. If you have the time, I would always choose this shape over a straight greenhouse (better climate, more spacious, more stable in windy conditions, more attractive to look at, etc.).
What I underestimated was how much condensation formed in autumn. I fear that my untreated wood will only last a few years; treating the wood against moisture would certainly be something I would do differently next time.
Oil the wood you can access it will hold up! Lind seed, tunge oil it doesnt matter.
Maybe you could drill some holes in the corners, so the water can get out..
