January 25th, 2012
This is the “covered” raised garden beds (sq. ft. gardens). This was filmed in December 2008, outside temps. averaging around 40F. during the day. We’ve been eating the greens all winter! Definitely an inexpensive way to eat salad greens all winter! www.rawutah.com

I live in Northern Idaho….this is THE WAY to garden up here!
I love your videos! Thanks for posting!
@gertrudesbiz Right! Wish more people knew about it!!
@dylan14570 Thank YOU!!!! Very appreciated
Looks good, can’t wait to try this.
have you tried growing potatoes in your hoop house? I’m wanting to try it, looking for input.
also, do you supply any artificial heat?
had me until he got to magnetism.
@jude1c9v nope, no artificial heat.
@jude1c9v I have…not to grow them all season though. Just to get a jump on the early spring season. After doing it though, I decided to focus on other crops under the tunnels. The potatoes take off, once conditions are good enough, outside the tunnels.
For those that read these comments..and like learning from them, and AREN’T lost by the word, MAGNETISM, rather, would like to learn more about its presence in stones, sediment and growing mediums around the world. Check out the book, “PARAMAGNETISM” by Philip S. Callahan. Amazing INFO!! The awareness that cultures knew of this growth potentiating force in geologic sources..is VERY ILLUMINATING. It’s been knows and applied by cultures around the world, for eons of time!! Just forgotten.
@rawutah the key, is really doing cold hardy crops through the cold months. For sure, check out the book “Four Season Harvest” by Eliot Coleman. It’s such a great read!!
@LER77 Hope you have fun/are having fun with this method!! cheers!
That is amazing! How late into winter do you have veggies?
What’s the outside temperature when you do this? I’m thinking about using tunnels here to get an early start on the growing season. We only have one growing season here and it gets really cold during winter.
@rawutah lolz… man…
what about the fact that the rocks store heat durring the day and that when the temperature drops rapidly at night the rocks slowly dissapitate the stored heat and therefore the plants do not suffer temperature shocks 
that is also an ‘ancient’ secret and people use pits filled with rocks to store daylight-heat for use in the night.
As rawutah pointed out… you don’t need magnetism in rocks to help the plants, the rocks themselves will absorb heat in the day and radiate it back into the air around the plants at night. That’s why many vintners don’t remove the small stones from the soil in which they grow grapes. In a sense, it’s a way of harvesting, storing, and reusing passive solar energy.
In techie terms, you can think of the rocks as heat ‘capacitors’.
this is great. very helpful method. nice one man.
Thanks for sharing this, this is so informative.
fantastic…….thanks for the great ideas and info……best wishes to you and yours.
the pine needles will make soil acidic ,is this true and why do you use the pine needle thanks ,i have a ton of pine needles in my yard
This is awesome! I really want to try it.
I’m impressed by your winter garden. I have subscribed to see more. I just started my first winter garden. I do have a simple video of mine… not as cool as yours
@joe18370 Yes… Pine needles will make the soil acidic.. So you need to know what plants want and like the acidic soil… and if other plants don’t like it then on them you will need to use some other compost or cover.. Hey, I need some pine needles… how close are you to North East Missouri ???
@MyLittleGreenThumb Here in Norh Missouri I will get Kale all Winter !! it hit 9 deg last week too. Get you some Kale, Red Winter or Red Russian will take it to 10 Below Zero F. No Cover, No Tunnel, !!! Oh, it also taste better after 20 deg hits it. If you don’t like it from the store or from the summer garden, wait til it gets cold.
