Building an (Almost) Tropical Geothermal Climate Battery Greenhouse in a Temperate Climate

Learn about our journey of creating a geothermal climate battery greenhouse including our evaluations of other options: passive solar, chinese solar greenhouse, row covers, fossil fuel heating, and more. We also discuss lessons learned after the fact and what we'd change in our designs.
