This is excellent. Pretty large scale though. I like that they grow tilapia as part of the hydroponic system.

that's a pretty neat structure. But it's not similar to the above video.

In the video, which may have been passed over, they show that they are using the heated water in the fish tanks to heat the greenhouses. Also, in the hoop houses, with no fish tanks, they are using compost piles to heat the hoop houses and still grow in the winter.

Not sure what KVR's buddy is using to heat his underground grow house.
