Le Potager du Sloth: Gardening without fatigue more than Bio

[Adrien (ex-nico239)]

I'm watching your last video and I'm bouncing back on the evolution of your chassis with this video I watched recently ...

No complaints. Perfect. Millimeter joinery (no air leaks in icy winds, as there are at home) ...

A dream: to combine the glazing with the jacks, a "Trombe" wall (I mentioned it for my tomato tunnel, in banched earth - they did it!) And a water buffer ... Difficult to do better.

This is not "DIY"!

But hey, he doesn't say the cost! I think they don't count too much in this structure ???

It was next to us before ... in the Luberon.

I confirm to you they do not count ...

It's annoying, but it is easier to be rich, green and "organic" than poor, sick and bad handyman !!!

what would you put as a material instead of banched earth?

[Did67]

A "waterspout" wall is the mass that stores heat. La terre banchée is the cheapest thing for dynamic young people. But it is necessary to protect from the rain (therefore under roof). Otherwise, any wall: chipboard, concrete or a combination (concrete block filled with concrete) ...

As compact as possible, so that the heat diffuses (effusivity). So no "air bubbles"!

Bonjour,

A wall of earth + bottles full of water is not bad either.

[Did67]

Yes. Water is the material with the greatest specific heat capacity (one kg of water stores more heat than any one kg of anything).

Okay, that's a little more complex to do than breaking up the earth. I always try to optimize laziness before "perfecting". But those who are less riding on laziness, this is of course a solution.

Ah, you have to empty the bottles first !!!! It's an argument !!!!!

Under my tunnel I put a 10l can of water on each side of my tomato plants. This leans against a wall.

[Did67]

A solution: on the north side, a stack of 1 l "cubitainers"; they are stacked on 000 heights; you fill; you put half-arches on the south side ... So double the length of "greenhouse half-arches", with a gigantic thermal buffer ...
