This is great! My greenhouse ambitions started like yours for our site her in NH, but now it has grown to meet our needs in a much different way. I would be happy to share pictures of the greenhouse(with climate battery), chicken coops, shed, 2nd story screen house and living roof...all still under sonstruction... All the best in your journeys! Steve steve@low-energy-future.com I saw this blog address on one of your messages on the PC Relief Haiti list. This is great!

When we muck out the chicken house, there is a lot of particulate that is airborne. Might have to do with the type of bedding we use too. Been thinking about a very thin plastic barrier between growing space and chicken space that doesnt impede heat movement or perhaps a filtered/baffled fan of some sort. Jerry,

I have been working on a similar idea on a bit larger scale, but I am looking at housing the birds along one side of a hoop-house. This way they could be run inside in winter, and in runs outside for the rest of the year. While the birds are outside the house would be in full greenhouse mode and in winter we could grow greens specifically for the birds to eat. One heads-up I would offer you. I'm not sure how many chickens you are looking at, but in any number they distribute a LOT of dust/dead skin. Trust me when I say that this deserves a bit of thought ahead of time, because its not the kind of dust that just washes off easily. Here's hoping the New Year is treating you well. I like this.
