We set up a plant about every 2 years and crush rock. I'll be building the greenhouse(s) on skids. I'm going to hope that the land owner will let me just drag them out of the way so i can still maintain a small portion of one on my own time or at least keep them near so i can drag them back here after the plant is gone. If not then i live 2 miles away. I'll just keep them under 10 foot wide and borrow a lowboy to haul them to my house for storage.
Geothermal. This guy has Lemon trees in Nebraska...
https://youtu.be/ZD_3_gsgsnk I'll be doing some testing soon by using my loader to shove a probe about 10 feet into several rock and dirt piles for testing. The guys are due back late summer if things stay steady here. We'll be stripping off several hundered tons of top soil and dirt from the rock ledge and adding to this plateau here. It's about 25 feet high but often has about 1 foot of water down in the pit. I'll be buying some 4" black plastic corrugated drainige pipe 250' long as the old timer in the video above did. Depending on how my temperature testing goes anyway. I'll buy a few loads of screenings and bury them. Then the guys will dump several loads of dirt on top essentially burying the pipes deep underground. Having growable weather year round would be amazing and cost under $1,000 for 6 or 8 pipes and screenings to protect them from rocks falling out of the haul trucks. I'll either have to shell out some money for screenings or wait until 2020 for this. It's fine though because it gives me a season to learn and descide if i want to continue or sell out / give it all away.
