Summary
Paul Wheaton, Jen Richardson and
Josiah Kobernik host a live open Q&A about the proposed wofati greenhouse, The Kickstarter is now funded three times over. Three stretch goals have been posted. People are asking for the freezer wofati as a stretch goal.
What is the freezer wofati?
Would a freezer wofati *make* ice? Or is it more to keep frozen things frozen?
What zone are you in?
Why don't you do an interview with
Jack Spirko & get a bump?
How hard to convert greenhouse design into home design?
Would it work in zone 3-ish?
Does a wofati (greenhouse) require sloped terrain?
Was there some question about the cold air "pull out" pipe size? I've heard someone saying the pipe diameter was too small.
Have you considered doing something like the French guy Jean Pain with a
compost pile to heat water to heat a greenhouse?
What about the guy in Nebraska?
How much actual growing space in this design?
I would like a larger window. How many tomato plants do you want to grow behind the window?
How many pipe holes will you drill/dig?
How about multiple pipes within a pipe?
Do you have an idea of how much greywater it will manage? Are you planning to measure it?
Is the greywater going to be able to flow into the greenhouse without a pump?
You're going to excavate the holes? Not drill them? Total depth is 3+5+20 = 28 feet
Do you think the temps would stay relatively the same in other parts of the country, like say Tennessee?
How much do the well casings cost each?
Would a round / dome shaped structure for the front give you more space for plants with less air volume to heat/cool? Similar idea might give more contact area with the mass behind.
After the greenhouse is built how will you determine the effectiveness of each of your improvements on Mike Oehler's design?
