A low-tech greenhouse design that warms itself using heat stored in the earth is drawing attention for allowing nearly year-round growing in British Columbia, where winter temperatures can drop to -32°F. The passive system extends the growing season without relying heavily on external heating, and a start-to-finish construction walkthrough is circulating among gardening and sustainable-technology enthusiasts.
Why now: Interest in sustainable, low-energy ways to grow food through harsh winters is currently high among gardeners and homesteading communities.
