Inflated, Double-Wall Greenhouse
Welcome to the publicly-supported blog on saving the white race with prepper-enhanced methods to ride out the apocalypse so that you'll survive in greater harmony with the laws of nature, thrive with the blessings of the Lord's abundance, become a walking ministry by shining the light of your good example to show the deceived world who and what we really are, and thereby wage warfare against the evil of the lies told about the blessing we are to the world while focused on a life spent on growing our armies to a virtually unconquerable size while the phosphorus-starved masses die off. And thank you for your generous support as we re-design the world by re-designing our lives to be in tune with our Father's will for the children made in His image who unapologetically walk in His ways.
The meat of the year is where you make enough to live on. But the extended months is where most of your disposable income comes from.
If you're producing 30 to 90 dollars an hour at your side-hustle of growing meat and veggies, that's real spending money that stays in your pocket. And if it's scaled up to your full-time gig, then you can really prosper and receive the Lord's full blessings.
So the inflated and therefore insulated, double-wall greenhouse equals your play money. It's your unfair advantage. It gets warmer and stays warmer for a lot longer. If it's attached to your house, it can even help keep your house warmer in the winter, with good design principles.
Without a greenhouse, you instead get a mediocre winter stay-cation, spending more than you're earning, eating through all the fat you generated during a 58-day summer, you're far less competitive, being reduced to a commodity provider, and others get to charge premium prices for their year-round produce while you and lots of others are out of the market until the sun comes back in March.
Growers who don't have an inflatable, double-wall greenhouse are the losers in that equation. Let's not do that.
Even a small increase in temperature in a greenhouse, such as 14 degrees warmer could extend your growing season by 2 months. With insulation, compost, and a compost heat exchanger, you might do even better, even without actually "heating" the greenhouse.
The cost of warming an insulated greenhouse should be more than offset by the increased production.
If you're cranking the heat, it needs to be worth it.
And that's more likely with an inflated greenhouse wall, which is one of the cheapest places you can "buy money", by allowing you to increase the proportion of the year you're doing lucrative growing.
Glass is expensive. Thin plastic is cheap. Farmers grow efficiently by using greenhouses. With plastic, these are 20 times lower cost than in the past. But they're much warmer during the day, but still cold at night
I've just quickly gathered some information about double-wall greenhouses from several experts. I realized the following:
Very few of the greenhouse builders seem to know about the $1 Kayak, for example. It's outside their industry, so they don't look at it. True of all industries, it really takes an outsider to bring these insights to an industry.
Just as the ancient shepherds brought new insight to governing, to medicine, to agriculture and so on.
If 30 people listened to a panel of experts on a topic, such as the topic of inflated greenhouses, each panelist would learn from the others, just as the students do. But the student benefits by adding all of his own insights to that body of knowledge.
It is the presence of the students greatly multiplies the value of the panel.
At the panel, if there were one, everyone in the room might learn the following from the experts:
The greenhouse affect warms plants during hours when it's receiving direct sunlight, but its cold at night. I know of one farmer who protects his plants from the frost without a greenhouse or hoop-houses. He simply lays a sheet of clear plastic on top of the plants in an area which doesn't get much snow.
If it's a rare year where it starts snowing, he can still support the plastic sheet with the hoops to prevent the snow from crushing the plants.
The $1 kayak proved that a couple overlapping layers of industrial-grade plastic wrap is a lot more durable, strong, and functional than you might think. Blown pallet wrap is more puncture-resistant than cast pallet wrap. If you've used the stuff, putting it on, stretching it, cutting through it with a box knife, trying to tear it without one, then you have a better sense of what it's capable of.
Because it's "ghetto", people greatly underestimate it as a building material. When you watch a pallet turn sideways, and the plastic wrap is still holding hundreds of pounds of heavy boxes in place, you start to see what it can do.
Just because it's cheap doesn't mean it's weak.
The intellectuals who never worked for a living don't have a sense of these things and never will. They can't make accurate predictions about the future. They don't know anything. Their heads are full of theory given to them by the people trying to destroy us.
The poor can't afford shame. They use a layer or two of bubble wrap or a blanket to insulate a cold doorway in the winter because their toes are freezing. These people know things about the world.
They suffered in heat in the long summers because their homes are inefficient. They know the value of a shade tree. The intellectual cuts it down because it's "invasive" or attracts diseased animals.
They're the diseased animals.
Infected by mental diseases they have no protection against. They don't know these animals eat disease-carrying insects. They're deeply clueless people with no curiosity about the world and its workings, its genius and balance.
They spray at the bugs for 30 years or 80 years without wondering why Got put those bugs there. Maybe there's a good reason. Maybe your system is destroying the environment, killing the soil, breeding weakness and disease and God sent those bugs there to destroy your weak, diseased, flawed system to replace it with something stronger.
If you inflate your "greenhouse" to keep roots warm enough, keep the system light, cheap, mobile, modular with far less dependence on much or any external heat, and reduce your need for inflation machines and the $8,000 roofing and $300 systems and basically bubble-wrap your crops and use pressure-triggers to keep a whole field of crops protected from snow and cold for bargain prices, anchoring it so it doesn't blow away, then maybe you've really got something.
If, on the southern exposure of your house, you build an intelligent enough solarium that doubles as a greenhouse, it helps heat your house in the winter and, by providing shade and an air barrier, helps cools your house in the summer without air conditioning.
One of the useful concepts from Earthships (the rammed earth tires were a very bad idea, IMHO) is that by having a solarium that vents the sun-heated air out the top, you've created a sun-powered vaccuum pump during the summer. It can draw cool air into the house from an underground air duct. This outside air is cooled by ducting that's pulling air through the cool ground, bringing cool air into the house powered.
In theory, this creates a geothermal passive cooling system. Something similar has been done in stationary greenhouses to replicate the geothermal effect you'd also achieve if you buried the whole greenhouse in the cellar, for some reason. Which could also work as a nursery in a very extreme climate.
Which can be 10 times more efficient than conventional A/C. According to this guy. (
The idea is the earth is a giant thermal battery that stays relatively constant in temperature no matter what you do to it. Once you're a few feet down, it's about 55 degrees, which is always cooler than the blistering hot temperatures of the desert sun and always warmer than the frosty frozen air outside the arctic north, meaning your ubiquitous thermal battery (which, to carry with you anywhere is as light as a shovel no matter where you go) gives you a more moderate starting point to heat from and a constant temperature to cool with.
Pigs tap into this thermal battery by wallowing in the mud. That's their air conditioning system. You tap into this thermal battery by swimming in the lake. Even when the lake is iced over, a few feet below the surface, the water is probably a lot closer to the earth's natural temperature. The bottom of the Mariana Trench (the deepest part of the ocean) ranges from 34 to 39 degrees F.
While that temperature will kill you in a matter of minutes, (even if the 1,000x atmospheric pressure doesn't) it's substantially and meaningfully warmer than the winds whipping by at 40 to −76° F at the South Pole in the winter months.
See? You learned something today.
With a passive geothermal cooling tube buried underground through the floor vents, you're also creating laminar air flow that brings clean air from below and vents dirty air out the top.
This turns out to be important for indoor air quality and health. As it turns out, air quality is especially important when performing surgery.
Your solarium also stores heat in the thermal mass, such as a patio, which can be directed into the house to keep it a little warmer at night.
Needless to say, none of these features come standard in a double-wide neckbeard domestic terrorist compound full of evil Nazi white supremacist racist genocidal bigots. But can be installed as needed.
A very cheap external shade over the southern-facing windows saved $20 a month. A tree would provide shade in summer and serve as a wind-break in winter. One thing I quickly found out in the pine tree state is if you set up under a tree it keeps you dry when it rains.
Judging by all the beer cans, this is something people very quickly discover. In my much younger years, it's something a former girlfriend and I very quickly discovered, and just as quickly realized how much instant privacy it provided. Almost as good as a roof and four walls. I've never been so grateful for a little rain on an afternoon stroll.
Still can't figure out why anyone would want to cut down all these useful trees just to make a clearing.
Anyway, you should use a few ideas about greenhouses and don't be afraid to combine some of them.
Just don't go venting carbon monoxide into your house from a gas or wood stove and blame me for it.
In case you don't believe me, or simply want to know more, here are some resources:
https://www.tunnelvisionhoops.com/blog/why-install-a-double-layer-inflation-system-for-your-greenhouse/
Automatic venting system to prevent overheating.
Now here's an excellent primer on integrated design combining a root cellar and greenhouse for synergy of mutually-beneficial needs. Well stated. And also an excellent example of good direct-response marketing.
And it incorporates a number of efficiency and passive lighting elements lauded elsewhere by Amory Lovins.
Keeping buildings cool in the desert.
Passive solar design principles. (It's in Australia, so reverse North and South, because the sun hits the northern exposure in the southern hemisphere.)
Heating your house (or greenhouse) with waste heat from compost, particularly if you're trucking in free restaurant food waste to build compost for your farm anyway.
(In addition to heating and cooling, some passive solar principles naturally improve safety and security of the home and its occupants. A design that forces or encourages occupants to walk up and down stairs also make the home's occupants stronger. Toward the end of life, or if injured, occupants could also use a single floor.)
Cooling tubes for passive cooling in hot climates. (See previous video) The easier way is to just choose a location that is already underground and build your house into it. Mike Oehler's $50 solar house did that. Works fine.
And you can see those manually rammed-earth tires, which is incredibly laborious. Dirt packed into a used tire. Typically with sledgehammers. Positively archaic, by 2019 standards of design.
These fine people vent their exhaust gasses outside the house. It stays quite warm in winter this way. An expensive build. The positive effects are not a product of it being expensive.
Here's the $50 house by Mike Oehler. He lived in it for over 30 years and expanded for $500 in Northern Idaho.
Heated by wood. Not by a wood stove, but burning a fire outside his bedroom window.
Here's a $25 hang glider build with poly plastic in 1975. Works. There's a $1 Kayak, too. Works.
If you get strips of wood, not planks of wood from the lumber yard, the fibers are lal intact, making it very strong and light, a lot like carbon fiber.
Even airplanes don't necessarily need to be heavy or expensive. Depends what you want to do with it.
Wood is a strong building product. There's even a wood extract which is stronger than carbon fiber and kevlar.
Now that you have an idea how to create an ultra-efficient airforce, navy, and agricultural revolution for pennies, you just need to feed and clothe them, how to organize them and learn how to reproduce as fast as humanly possible, and we'll have millions of new volunteers.

First example: For the first couple minutes, they discuss the double wall system.
And that's more likely with an inflated greenhouse wall, which is one of the cheapest places you can "buy money", by allowing you to increase the proportion of the year you're doing lucrative growing.

I've just quickly gathered some information about double-wall greenhouses from several experts. I realized the following:
- When you learn about a topic from 3 or 4 experts, you'll quickly learn something unique from each one.
- You'll have meaningful and useful expertise that rivals what any of those 3 or 4 know because you're combining all the things they'll tell you.
- Very often you'll see that each knows some things the others don't know.
- In addition, you're also bringi your own background and knowledge.
Very few of the greenhouse builders seem to know about the $1 Kayak, for example. It's outside their industry, so they don't look at it. True of all industries, it really takes an outsider to bring these insights to an industry.

It is the presence of the students greatly multiplies the value of the panel.
At the panel, if there were one, everyone in the room might learn the following from the experts:
- One of them leaves his greenhouse inflation fan turned on 24/7, instead of installing a $30 pressure switch that turns it on as needed.
- One of them builds a heavy, expensive, full-size greenhouse, when several small hoop-houses would do the exact same job.
- One of them reduces the size of the greenhouse nursery by using very densely-packed trays.
- One uses compost to provide heat, another uses a pellet stove which runs automatically for days, and another uses switchgrass because with its emissions being less toxic, it can be vented directly into the greenhouse for 100% burn efficiency (instead of most of the heat going out through the stack)
- One makes his greenhouse modular, so it can be easily broken down and moved by one person, greatly extending the season for each of several crops.
- One uses a patent pending system he liked so much, he bought the company.
The greenhouse affect warms plants during hours when it's receiving direct sunlight, but its cold at night. I know of one farmer who protects his plants from the frost without a greenhouse or hoop-houses. He simply lays a sheet of clear plastic on top of the plants in an area which doesn't get much snow.
