On cold, sunny days: the door and/or window to the house could be left open to share heat and humidity with the house. In a well built, well sealed solar greenhouse with some heat storage such as heat absorbing walls and floor, plants like onions, spinach, lettuce and certain hardy ornamentals could survive year round without additional heat. To grow tropical plants year round would no doubt require some additional heat to the greenhouse, but the greenhouse would still provide a net heat gain to the house as well as a year round live-in garden. The solar greenhouse can be adjusted to any budget depending on size and whether one uses recycled lumber and P01Yethyline, or new lumber and thermopanes or insulated acrylics. According to a booklet called "The 3 Fuel Savers" each square foot of so- 1ar greenhouse can save from hâ€"% gal-- lon of fuel oil each season.
