Its parabolic shape points south and brings sunlight through insulated glass and onto a thermal mass of waist-high soil lined with bricks and an earth-plastered wall. An airlock double door to the north acts as further insulation. In midwinter when temperatures can reach -20C the greenhouse can sustain salad greens at a comfortable +5C through the sun alone.

Normally, when lumber is milled from a round log to a flat piece of 2 by 4, it must be dried and baked for weeks in a burner that usually uses propane or else the wood will curve and split. The Deanery&#039;s piece of appropriate tech can be rented out to woodlot owners with a truck, and they hope their example will spawn more low-impact kilns.
