Since early June I've been eating plenty of salads and other greens thanks to the solar greenhouse here. The front basement room is well insulated and has five 50-gallon barrels painted black and filled with water. These barrels sit near large, south-facing, glass panels. The walls under the panels are constructed of used tires packed with dirt and covered in adobe.Tuesday, July 14, 2009
