A Community and Forum For Aquaponic Gardeners
Rob's Geodesic Dome Greenhouse
Hi Everyone! We're Expanding! We are pleased to announce that we have just received the necessary permits to build a new greenhouse. This 1200 square foot, state-of-the-art building will utilize some of our latest technology to enhance the building’s energy conservation, as well as monitor and control an aquaponics growing system. The greenhouse will be used for our research and development, and it will become the focal point of the farm as a visitor center. Construction is scheduled to start this spring and we are eagerly waiting for the ground to thaw.
This video is the first part of a series I'll produce over the next year or so. I hope you enjoy the adventure!

This is the second video in my series on how the aquaponic system is set up in the geodesic dome. It details how all the plumbing is done.

This is the last of three videos that detail how I installed the aquaponic system in the geodesic dome greenhouse. It details how the raft and media based grow beds are installed.

Awesome video - I was wondering how you got the beds to look so sleek...

Why build support posts when you can use a super-strong dome?!?!

I was contemplating your greenhouse as I drove to work, and decided one of the nicest things about it is the fact that it is round. When you finish walking your garden, theree's no need to walk back to the door because you're already there.
Cool about running the lines across the greenhouse! -

Just think how much time I can save by not having to walk back! I never thought of that!
The only problems with the lines is that it starts to close in the expanse of having this big self-supported dome....starts to make it look smaller. I knew it would happen at some point, but just sad to see it start to close in.

I forgot to include a few video clips in "Aquaponic System Install - 3 of 3" so here's a mini-video about a dipstick. ;-)

Hello to all my friends!
A follower has let me know that he saw one of my videos posted on another user’s YouTube channel. I greatly appreciate the fact that they brought this to my attention. I am always happy to produce and post videos which are always free for you to enjoy. What I don’t like is some scumbag ripping and reposting my videos under their own channel. It probably won’t be a surprise to you, but I am a YouTube partner and do receive some ad revenue from my videos. (It’s very little, but every penny helps!)
If you happen to see one of my videos posted, and it’s not from the Web4Deb channel, I would be very grateful if you notify me of this theft. Thank you for your support and I look forward to providing more videos in the future.

here's a few pics after I got the solar panels installed. For a size comparison, I'm standing next to the panels on the right. I'm 5'-11".
