http://www.permies.comI took a wee bit of video with my crappy camera while visiting Mike Oehler in north idaho. This is the official solar greenhouse per his popular book "The Earth Sheltered Solar Greenhouse Book". The solar greenhouse is drafty, but he gets tomatoes in mid december with no added heat. I think the greenhouse construction looks pretty obvious.

Love the idea of "using gravity" and making a place for the cold air to sink, I guess that's why people put plants on tables in green houses. Maybe a better idea would be to build a space like a basement under the green house..

MAYBE A GLASS OR FIBERGLASS ROFF ON A SQUARE OF STRAW BALES WITH A GRAVEL FLOOR AND A COMPOST BIO DIGESTER NERBY . ADD SOME FISH AND AQUA CULTURE TO FEED THE PLANTS. USE THE HEAT AND METHANE FROM THE DIGESTER TO HEAT THE GREENHOUSE.

WHAT ABOUT UNINSULATED STRAWBALE WITH THRMAL MASS OF GRAVEL FLOOR, SOUTH FACING WINDOWS AND A BIO DIGESTER TO MAKE COMPOST AND HEAT THROUGH A COIL IN THE COMPOST PUMPED INTO THE GREENHOUSE AND THE METHAN FROM THE COMPOST TO HEAT IN THE WINTER.

It grounds you and balances your electrical charge. It also stimulates the acupressure points in your feet. It is good for you. Try it. Remember being a kid.
