Ideally, I would like to grow and preserve as much of my own food as I can. It would be nice to have a greenhouse to start plants. In my search for greenhouse ideas, I found a really neat structure by Mother Earth News that combines many uses into one. It is a greenhouse that can be built partly into the ground for energy efficiency. Compost bins within the structure help to heat it as do rabbits and chickens housed within the structure. More information about the "bioshelter" as Mother Earth News refers to it can be seen here. http://www.motherearthnews.com/Organic-Gardening/1986-07-01/Bioshelter-Greenhouse.aspx
