Devious Experiments with a Truly Passive Greenhouse - full movie

I give this movie 10 out of 10 Acorns.

As a kickstarter backer it fulfilled what I wanted the movie to be. Round wood work was amazing and showing how deep the pipes are was really cool. My hat is off to everyone who worked on this greenhouse.  As someone who was in on a few of the zoom meets to get updates on the greenhouse it is cool to see it come together as a movie. As a person with no round wood experience I was able to understand what was going to be built. When I showed this to my family, common phrases were “wow”, “holy cow” ,”what is ____?”.

One small critique.

If you are going to watch this movie with friends, family etc. And they do not know what a Wofati is and have not heard of Mike Oehler. Please take  a little time and tell them about Wofati and Mike Oehler’s work. I was watching the movie with my family and had to explain a few things but it was no big deal.

The greenhouse exists!  The movie is great!  I have seen both, and I can vouch.

We owe a huge debt of gratitude to all our kickstarter supporters for making this vision a reality.

A special shout-out to our producers for the film, permanantly memorialized in the greenhouse timberframe in wood-burnt glory!

Can you tell me more?  Can you see the movie with the play button?

Any update on how it performed in the summertime/fall (maintaining cool) about 180 days after the interior low temperature of March 14?

We need more boots in the bootcamp.  Many things did not get done this last winter.  

Thanks Paul.  

Is it being used currently with anyone's greywater, or would it be the bootcamp's greywater that would supply it?

This might be a good inspiration for people to join the bootcamp.

There's also the question of what could be grown in this greenhouse now that it's here...even if that isn't its purpose, it can win over taste buds and stomachs to permaculture.  

Rambutan, lychee, longin, soursop, mango, banana, orange, pineapple, avocado, coconut?  tilapia, eels? do these need a really hot climate to thrive, or simply to be free of frost long enough to get big?  Apparently the big fruit-growing region of Vietnam ranges from about 50-85 degrees if my memory serves, not in the high nineties and hundreds as I'd assumed.  

I'm going to leave your questions here in case there are people here that have these answers.
