Enjoy this tour of The Wisconsin Walipini as it heads into the winter of 2022. This is the 'after' to the 'before' video ("Out of Control Underground Greenhouse") posted about a month earlier. A giant tangle of tomato vines has been removed. Grow lights are back up, again. Insulation, where necessary, has been installed.

The Wisconsin Walipini is designed to hold at 55 to 65 degrees all winter long, although passive heating isn't enough to accomplish this due to the fact that it is Zone 4a and the goal is to grow coffee trees, lemon and lime and other citrus plants (oranges), bananas, olive trees, peppercorn, and have peppers (sweet and HOT).

This video serves as an introductory 'tour' of the Walipini as a whole. Images of the GAHT (Ground to Air Heat Transfer) system and the water feature are included, but a more in depth video on such things will have to wait for future videos.

Links for the fans used in the GAHT will be posted in this description in due time.
