Okay, I knew I saved it somewhere! Here's the link to the pit greenhouse that I wanted to post. So cool!
Also, S from Put Your Shovel Where your Mouth Is (love that title!) sent me this link about pit greenhouses from Mother Earth News. Thanks!
There are times in my life where my mind is totally blown and I actively want to know every thing there is to know about a particular subject. Pregnancy, birth and parenting were very much like that for me (and still are today). I love growing as much as we can because I love being in the dirt and I hate paying a ton of money for organic foods that we can grow ourselves. This whole idea of what is essentially a very deep cold frame (pit greenhouse) ranks super high in making my mouth drop at the potential growing possibilities (and extended growing period) in our small city space. Yowza.
Like I said last post, I don't think we'll get up to digging this huge hole for such a pit. Today we picked up 10 or so very nice windows to add to the dozen or so we have. We are like 4 years late in building the kids a playhouse and they are determined my greenhouse shall not come before their playhouse. I'm thinking we can do BOTH this year. The back yard is going to look like an odd little village of small houses, a sandbox, children, chickens, lots of vegetables, a swingset and a very confused Shitzhu.
Bring it on!

That is SO. COOL. I'll help you dig your huge hole- you should totally do one this year! I'm serious, we'll help. I really want to do one of these- I think I'll try it out at the farm.
Very Cool. It's been on my mind to make one too. This is a nice reminder! I think mine will be smaller though....
I'll post it on my blog when I do.
