Ben, it sounds like you have quite...


Thank you kindly.

I’ve researched the GAHT method as well, but I don’t think it would be necessary in my area.

I was going you use 55 gallon water-filled drums, but they’re 24” in diameter, so now I’m leaning towards 12” and/or 18” diameter agricultural water tubes, with electric heat backup (possibility
Solar).

For those interested here’s a quick update on my Winter Greenhouse build.
Caulked/sealed the edges of the 3/4” plywood, Tyvek House-Wrap installed and taped, the rear roof rafters are installed.

Welcome Aboard Jasmine!

At 60 years young, I’m new to my
Permaculture adventure.

I’m currently building one of my lifelong dreams, a Winter Greenhouse.
I want to grow organic veggies all year long for my family, as well as donate some of our
harvests to local families in need.

It’s 16’ x 11’, facing about 10 degrees East of True South.
Still looking for ideas on heating the structure as well as growing inside it (Long Island, NY, Zone 7A,).

The EPS rigid insulation has arrived.
The 4” x 24” x 96” will be buried vertically around the perimeter.
The 4” x 48” x 96” will be buried to create the Swedish Skirt.
The 2” will be utilized as continuous
exterior wrapping outside the 3/4”
sheathing.

Looking forward to reading your book and learning more about permaculture
methods, and applying that knowledge to my adventure.
Thank you kindly, for the opportunity to win a copy!

Sincerely,
Ben
