40 Roper Solar Greenhouse at night. 3 lights on left are LEDs. 3 lights on right are CFLs.
41 Payne Shelter
42 Changes I Would Make Do not insulate the inside of the concrete walls; instead double the insulation outside the concrete walls. Gives more thermal mass. Install much larger vent windows for more cooling. Connect the ends of the 4 slotted drain pipes closer to each other at the 24 end pipes. Better brace the Hardie-board that separates the rocks under the walkway from the planting soil. Not put the soil in until all inside structure is built.
43 Winter of Middle school students at Blacksburg New School planted in west half. Tried some plants that are known to not grow well in solar greenhouses, such as tomatoes. John Ogburn organized 8 gardeners to plant in east half on 4 x7 plots. I was one of them. Greens did very well with bumper crops. Aphids appeared. Eventually controlled with ladybugs.
