Kimberly, what kind of a green house are you building and how do you want to make it self-watering?  I ask since you mentioned geothermal.

Are you making it so that maybe the humidity will make it self-watering or are you wanting an irrigation system?

Here are some threads that may help you or others:

We're tackling that right now with our community green house. We're placing two foot wide contained self watering beds on the out side walls. The overflow will be directed to two foot wide contained beds inside the greenhouse. Overflow from those beds will be directed to a 55 gallon drum with a bilge pump, should anything get by the first two beds.

Our inability to change everything should not stop us from changing what we can.
