Re: Rabbit/Chicken/Greenhouse Design




My plan is a rectangular lean-to greenhouse, maybe 3 ft high sunward, 10-12 ft high peak, with a semicircular strawbale back wall and a wall of 55 gallon drums (and a vapor barrier attached?) creating the animal space between the plants and the strawbale back wall. I'd even thought of a T-shaped worm bin going from under the roost to a scoop-out area handy to the plant space. Sloped forward for gravity assist?:)
Lots of details left out, temperature activated windows at the peak, etc. It would be a frame, roof, then walls, so if the bales start to go because of high humidity, they can simply be composted... But I'd be curious to see how effectively a good mud/stucco job would preserve them.
