Great example of the advantages of double wall poly. An alternative to a blower is to use a wind scoop, basically a roof turbine vent with a large opening to catch the wind and a tail to maintain direction to optimize the inlet of air. The Amish use a similar system, but i don't know the name of it.

@@Iz0pen a well built pile will heat up in 24-48 hours in warm weather and can take 2-4 days in winter, depending on size your pile can go for two weeks to almost two years, our woodchips are fresh and old mixed with added nitrogen 75% carbon to 25% nitrogen roughly( give or take) sometimes more nitrogen is needed sometimes less depending on the size of chips and freshness.

Why not insulate the north wall? Cover it in black fabric on the inside. Maybe insulate the ends as well?
@EarthdwellershomesteadАй бұрын
Our northern most wall has rigid foam insulation on it already, the double layer acts as an all around layer of insulation or buffer layer from inside to outside. The next greenhouse we build will be over insulated for winter. I’ve thought about making a black northern wall but in the summer it would be too much heat absorption.
