Hi Tom, Deiter
The Air wells are new to me and I am intrigued at a
second application in greenhouse management. I am
really stupid tired from work and simply cannot find
or remember where I put the links to show what I am
talking about. However, What I am remembering is a
small farmer that placed a series of earth tubes
under his greenhouse to create a moderated weather
system there for 12 month a year growing conditions.
The article had it at several years down the road that
he had managed this system and he'd hooked his house
into it because if it's efficiency. Here, in the
hideous heat south I simply can't get lettuce or
tomatoes to talk to me during the summer, among other
things, so the energy to build such a system seems to
promise an efficient return in creating optimal
growing conditions.
This isn't an everybody kind of thing, it is a system
that probably only appeals to very hot of cold growing
areas/seasons.
I'll knock off before I reach total gibberish.
Yous, Pego
