- It's a marvelous thing to have a greenhouse. It's the true 'engine' of the garden, creating the perfect environment for protecting your seedlings from extreme conditions and predators whilst extending the growing season, enabling you to grow all kinds of plants not possible to grow outdoors in the British climate.
In this epic episode, two years in the making, follow Rob on his journey to construct the ultimate geodesic dome for his edible forest garden. See how to build your own, learning from Rob's myriad mistakes!

Oh here it is!!!!! Been waiting for this for years 😉😀
Loved the little 'outtakes ' at the end😄
I actually like this geodesic dome better than the old greenhouse Rob. The plants are certainly thriving in there. It will be lovely in winter. I am sure you would be able to hear the plants growing if you listened really carefully ☺
Thanks really interesting to follow your progress. You got there in the end, slow but sure. Hope the plants recover and not to many lost over the time.
Oooh, yay! It's Friday night, I'm exhausted and in bed early. And up pops your lovely face, your even lovelier voice, and that gorgeous bit of nature... Perfect, soothing bedtime story. ❤
Can't stop smiling. Good for the soul.
WOW, such huge effort, over a huge amount of time with brilliant results. This Greenhouse will be the best spot to sit and meditate in, come winter time. Congratulations on the assembly . Thankyou for the excellent editing and for sharing with us.
It's lovely. Thank's for sharing.
Fantastic 🌽🌽🌽
amazing! well done!
Helloo Rob, it's so good to see all your lovely fruits inside the dome - I'd love to grow peaches! Great video thanks and take care x
that looks like a really nice dome kit, I wonder how strong those plastic fittings are but seems super simple to assemble
They are not very strong at all, they recommend not exceeding 30kg for the total strut weight. I wouldnt use them for windy locations or where you expect snow.
At last the dome episode! 😅. I bought one of the kits after a visit to yours but I've still yet to get around to putting it up, looking forward to it though. I didn't quite get why it failed though, did it blow off the stilts in the high wind? I'm doing a similar wallipini concept but with a rammed earth wall so I can espelier some fruit trees. It looks amazing when up though, what a space
Your dome is so beautiful and inspirational! I have a question: how is pollination accomplished? That seems the most difficult thing. If there is a closed door.
Thank you 😊
I leave the door open when the bees are active 🐝😉
Out of curiosity: How do you ventilate the dome? (i.e. when the temperature in the dome gets too high)
Wondering if that will do well in Wind and maybe pressure from the Snow on top in the Winter ? Guess time will tell, looks like a good project, back to the Forrest you go!
They wont cope with snow unless its just a light dusting.
