The Truly Passive Greenhouse movie Kickstarter (July 2020)

I'm excited about this kickstarter!  What if it works?  Maybe every year can be loaded with a new experiment.   I'm already hearing from people that want us to test the freezer wofati idea.  How about the whole thing where we grow lemon trees, outdoors, in montana?   And then several have been asking, repeatedly, for the humus well project to be tried.  I should make a list!

This is the moment!  The kickstarter is NOW OPEN!   Last year when we were handing out the goodies for the earlybirds, we had a lot of feedback from people that felt left out that they didn't get the earlybird stuff.   So NOW is your chance!  The earlybird window officially closes on Friday at 2pm mountain time.  

If you support the kickstarter right now for even just $1 you would get all this:

I haven't seen it yet (maybe it'll come closer to 12 hours from when sent) but I didn't wait -- I'm in already!
