Describes Finch greenhouse resembling a pit greenhouse (walipini) with floor dug 4 feet below surface and roof slanted to southern sun. States earth stable temperature around 52°F in his region used instead of heaters for citrus, figs, pomegranates. Notes Alliance winters can drop to −20°F (record −40°F/C).
