Passive Solar Sunspace

Been hard at work on a passive solar sunspace to start the farm seedlings.  Oriented to the South and protected from the Northwest winds, the space has a gravel floor and several 50 gallon water barrels to collect daytime heat and release at night and includes a wall of doubled paneled windows repurposed from the Clayton Habitat for Humanity Store to maximize sunlight.  We held a small Blessing Ceremony on February 2 - in the midst of a snow storm!  Ha - Mother Nature has a sense of humor :)
