"A prescription for survival in this gorgeously illustrated and accessible guide to the future of farming." —Albert Bates, author of The Biochar Solution

Grow vegetables year-round in a greenhouse powered only by solar energy!

Originally developed in China to feed millions, Chinese greenhouses are earth-sheltered, solar-heated, east-west oriented, intelligently glazed, and well-insulated. They have proven highly effective in growing warm-weather vegetables and fruits like green peppers and tomatoes in cold climates through fall, winter, and early spring using passive solar energy as the sole heat source.

The Chinese Greenhouse is a full-color comprehensive guide to these passive solar greenhouses for self-sufficiency and growing year-round in soil or aquaponic grow beds with no additional heat. Coverage includes:

- How to design, build, and operate a Chinese greenhouse
- How to improve performance via short-term and long-term heat banking
- How to provide additional heat to make your greenhouse operate even more effectively
- How to cool the greenhouse during the summer.

Become a more self-sufficient gardener, growing and harvesting a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables year-round, with your own Chinese greenhouse.
