Bubble insulated greenhouse

[revontulet]

Check out this cool greenhouse in Canada. It uses soap bubbles to keep plants warm in winter and cool in the summer. Anyone ever heard of this?

Nope never heard of it and I'm not the "Ross" in question, pulling your leg either. I can tell you Perth which is an hour west of me can get very cold and it does get stinkin hot here too. So if it works here they're on to something.

That was a most interesting site. I thoroughly enjoyed reading and viewing. Thanks for sharing

Cool! Wonder if they got the idea while watching the Lawrence Welk show? :haha:

I'm interested in the idea of year round greenhouse gardening with minimal fossil fuel heat input (I'm in MN). Will put this on my list of ideas to consider!
