I have a youtube channel where I promote growing figs and breastfeeding. My husband and I are building geothermal hoop houses and we will be posting our progress. I also promote breastfeeding and I have a video of my Fig Leaf Halloween Costume!

Thanks for sharing,

Best,

good grief is this really about figs?   I think not

Does not look like it ...

I promise you, this is all about promoting figs. 

 lol   I'm not buying it. I saw something like your program evolve in an unlikely seed trading group on FB. 
Ciao

I started my youtube channel to promote breastfeeding because millions of babies die every year because they are not breastfed. I also believe that figs are the perfect human food and figs are the food that humans evolved on. I believe that we have a relationship with figs like the giant panda does with bamboo, or the Koala with eucalyptus. 

I live in zone 7a and it is very humid here. We are growing Chicago Hardy and we are using the hoop house design that Ivan Stoilov in Missouri uses. The hoop house we have right now is 20x30, but we plan to build 3 30x96 hoop houses next year on 3 acres.

What's wrong with naked  yoga?? lol

That was much more of your breast than anyone needed to see.....MODERATOR?

Hi Flo, just a little advice. 

The best way to use your tunnel is season extension. Hardy Chicago is an early variety but there are a few others that are a couple weeks earlier: Florea, Ronde de Bordeaux, Improved Celeste/O'Rourke. You can also harvest later by planting varieties like Black Madeira, Col de Dames, Verdal Longue etc inside as well.  

You will also want to be watchful for mites inside a structure like that.

Good luck and welcome.

If you add heat, extra lighting and good ventilation, it could become a greenhouse. It all depends on what your goals are and where you position it. Welcome!

* As for those who are freaking out about the breasts, it's quite simple - don't look if it offends. No one made anyone click a link clearly labeled as promoting breastfeeding.

I was under the impression that one could support breast feeding without full visual disclosure. My mistake!

Because of the comments on this topic I'm now afraid to click on the link. 

all jokes aside, i think this is a true 'boobie trap' !  while i am a advocate for breastfeeding, i think this is over the top and has different intentions. i hope it doesn't hurt our group.  i think this is the wrong place for this and can bring strife to the group.  hopefully not. 
if you disapprove of this kind of thread, perhaps we can quit commenting so the thread will die. best of intentions here.

I always thought "geothermal" referred to energy/warmth generated by something like a hot spring, from within the earth. They use that resource a great deal in Iceland. But I am not seeing billowing steam anywhere in the hoop house in the video, so I, too, would like more information on what makes it geothermal in nature. Thanks.

You can also use water heated up by the sun during the day to fill a resiviour in the floor or pipes circulating in the greenhouse to heat during the night while cool water from in the ground is brought up to replace it to cool the greenhouse during the day, not natural geothermal but a form of it.

The geothermal part is from pipes underground that are used to blow air through. This causes water to condensate in the summer and keeps the figs watered. We have high humidity, so it is very hard to grow figs here sometimes. I believe that Florida is the same way. By keeping the air dry, the figs have less disease and can ripen more evenly. 

Sorry if I offended anyone by my videos. I did not mean to. I am not selling anything, I am just looking for people who are doing geothermal fig hoop houses. They are popular in Japan and are becoming popular in the U.S.

I know that it may be hard to see the connection between figs and breastfeeding, but in Egypt, Isis was a fig tree and she was depicted as a Sycomore Fig breastfeeding a baby king. Figs are an important part of our history that could easily be lost if central Africa is allowed to become farmland. The wasp that pollinates the Sycomore Fig is already extinct in Egypt.

I believe that both breastfeeding and growing Fig trees are both essential to mankind. I believe that most of our species are offended by both breasts and fig trees dropping figs all over the place. Nature is sometimes not what you think it should be, but it is always perfect.

Here is a link to the information on Isis.

At the right angle...a fig does resemble a boob.

I think they look more like testicles Calvin.
