When the snow was about 4" deep, there would be twin tracks in the snow where Harley the dachshund/JRT mix was dragging his balls. Small wonder why he wasn't thrilled about snow days...

Air leaks and no door between basement and main floor are the biggest culprits. I live in an area with lots of basements and the best way to warm up the basement is to put a door in the stairwell and keep it closed. This stops the warm air from migrating upstairs. In summer, leave the door open...

Not recommended because moisture will build up between tent walls and shed walls and that's bad. Very bad.

Seal and add CO2 does add a bit of complexity but CO2 supplementation is not expensive once you have the sensor, regulator and a tank or two. Or spend time in there and breathe. YOU make CO2 as well lol

Correct! He needs a vapor barrier and lots of insulation. That insulation will help in winter AND summer so it's never a wasted investment.

I bet they won't.

In general, mini splits tend to be better for smaller scale and chillers scale up as big as you can imagine and probably bigger than that lol You CAN get a big mini split with a central distribution unit and run a bunch of heads but at that point you're into the territory where a chiller setup...

Efficiency is a unit by unit comparison. A chiller makes water cold. That water needs to be pumped around a circuit which would include the chiller, whatever the chiller is cooling such as an air handler or RDWC water or whatever and some kind of reservoir for holding enough water in "cold"...

Exchanging air with the outdoors absolutely will affect latent heat if the air being brought in has a lower dew point.

A swamp cooler just swaps sensible heat, what a thermometer measures, for latent heat, which is the total heat value of the air including both the temperature and the relative humidity level. If your plants are growing and transpiring properly, they will provide all the necessary RH and then...

A swamp cooler will only help if you're exchanging air in the room. Remember, plants ARE swamp coolers to a great extent.

I'm so sorry to hear about your father. I can't imagine how you are feeling.

That's a fact. I could set my watch to Harley's stomach LMAO

Covering your veg table with white plastic will help it stay cleaner, will prevent algae growth, will encourage you development and help water stay cooler.

Very nice. Love the consistency.

Okay, DAD lol

That's pretty cool! There are lots of those kinds of meets every month around here. I'm digging it.

Last night at the local astronomy club,I listened to a presentation by a PhD scientist about her work with the JWST researching sequential shells around WR140, a binary star system 5600 light years away where one star is pulling gas and carbon dust from the other and making these amazing...
