Jerome Osentowski and I discuss a greenhouse system called the Climate Battery.  This is very simple greenhouse design or diy greenhouse. This system takes hot air in a greenhouse and stores it underground in inexpensive foundation pipes.  And during the night when cold temperatures set in, it releases the warm air via small fans back into the greenhouse.  It will do the opposite in hot climates!  This is a really cool system that will allow you to eat organic and lower your food expenses!
