A Very Green Greenhouse

March 11, 2009

What a cool idea for building your own greenhouse. There are many sun-lit spaces in the city where this could work, maybe even on a rooftop. One of the resource we have in abundance in the city is used building material. There is demolition material everywhere.

You will need some DIY carpentry skills for this project but it seems like one worth doing.

Could it be any more green? Yes, if you fill it with sub-irrigated grow boxes or buckets. With adequate structural support, it could even have a sub-irrigated green roof. What a food production factory you could have!
