Greenhouse Construction

Daniel Broockmann
In 2009 I started building a 10' by 12' semi-subterranean, earth-sheltered, passive solar, four-season greenhouse.  Took about ten months to do all the digging, construction and getting it all put together.  I'm still tweaking it, but here are some construction shots.
