Now run your drain pipe into a 30 ft chimney, with wind scoop at the top. You can capitalize on atmospheric pressure too

I come from the first copies of Mother Earth News back in the 1970s so I've seen a great deal of ways to heat/cool greenhouses. For winter, have you thought of taking plastic 55-gallon drums, painting them black, filling them with water where the sun will shine on them to create a great heat sink to keep the greenhouse warm in the evening? Or having a mass rocket stove where, similar to your 500 feet of piping, you direct a long set of stove pipes into a seating area that has mud or rocks to absorb the heat from the rocket stove which uses small amounts of wood. That's just a couple of heating ideas for winter. Summer shade mesh for the windows will allow the light to get in but help reduce some of the summer heat - that and if you are older like me, back before homes had air conditioning, houses had a large attic fan (and I grew up in Oklahoma so I guarantee you, I KNOW about summer heat). The attic fan was turned on early, before the sun came up and pushed the coolest air into the house, then turned off until later...when the day's heat was too much, the attic fan blades were reversed to exhaust the hot air from the house. That's what you do...pull in cool, blow out hot with a good sized fan. Works!

I have maybe the smallest geothermal greenhouse at 39 sq/ft and 8 foot tall and get 55f out from a 5 foot hole with chamber buried under reflective foam cap and 4 feet or more of dirt. It is mostly for cool air the ground is very porous.

Here's a little tip it took somebody 4 years to develop this.He heats his house that is over 3,000 sq ft with valted ceilings when it hits 80°, the louvers open then the fan kicks in and exhausts the house back to room temp. I got to see this technology he's had it for 54 years now. They have regular glass windows about 18" wide two panes at 2" with a piece of mylar directly in the middle so when the sun rays come in they are trapped inside of the structure because they cannot leave they turn to heat rays and he has 7 plastic towers of water that absorb this heat and disperse it through the house. The house is turned so that it is untraditionally facing of the winter solstice the awnings or shades are meant to protect the house from this light heat source. I saw this technology several years ago the only time it didn't work one time in 24 years he said was when the fog came up so he had to revert to the conventional system as most people know it to heat his house for 24.00 bucks...... This is really cool stuff the house still had the conventional look. He has a really thick blue insulation. We had a short discussion of how air travels through glass and that's what led him to showing me his whole house how it worked...... Awesome is all I can say..... I would just like to develop a no fan system..... This will heat your whole house

U can heat that entire greenhouse with two terracotta pots with bottoms and 2 large candles. You put the candles in the large pots, put the bottom of the pot on top of the pot, making a lid, make sure you put a candle in the pot and light it. The pot heats up, ultimately heating up your area that needs heating. You could also flip the pot upside down over the candle, if the pot has a hole in the bottom of it, ultimately heating up the area. Now that's a cheap way to heat an area!!!!

The terra cotta doesn't change the fact that you'd only generate 75 BTUs or so with 2 candles. An uninsulated non airtight greenhouse would probably need 15,000 BTUs in 20 degree weather to bring the internal temperature up to 50 degrees on a day with calm air, much more if it's windy That would be 200 candles burning round the clock. The cost of the candles would more than pay for the electricity needed to provide the heat, but it would also be way more than the money saved by growing vegetables in such a small space.

@@billsmith5166 I heat our greenhouse with a candle. But mines only 150sq ft. However the larger the pot and candle the more eat. You could also make a rocket stove if you had a rally large greenhouse. Your only trying to keep the chill out of the air, so above 45° or so to keep your plants hibernating until spring. That's what we do anyway. And I have a very cheap plastic greenhouse from Amazon hundred bucks greenhouse 😆. However it only gets down into the lower 30s here in VA, and only for a few days at a time then increases. Weather is always back and forth here

@@allnaturalhomesteaders My calculations are correct. Are you using the pot to keep the flame from going out? Why would you think the pot increases the heat generated by the candle? It delays the heat, so maybe you're thinking that since the pot remains warm after the candle is extinguished - but it also remains cool for a while after the candle is lit, so it's simply trading a cool start for delayed warmth. If the clay actually allowed the candle to generate more BTUs, all furnaces would be under large clay pots. Again, though, a candle is only producing 30 to 50 BTUs, so unless your greenhouse is air tight, it's doing almost nothing. Just for comparison, A human being generates 350 BTUs, so a candle might put out as much as a Chihuahua, and if there is outside air exchange, it would reduce the heat from the dog to almost nothing. A small rocket stove would generate more BTUs than a candle, but if it's very small, you'd need to stay up all night loading it with twigs. If it's large enough to stay lit all night, you'd need a chimney or you'd have a substantial carbon monoxide risk, and you'd leave residue from the burn all over your plants. The temperature of the greenhouse would also be pretty much uncontrollable. I hate to say it again, but if your greenhouse isn't air tight, your candle is doing almost nothing at all.

@@billsmith5166 the reason for using terracotta pots is so the flames from a LARGE candle heats up the terracotta pot and the pot releases the heat, not the candle and a LOT of stoves are made out of terracotta/mud. Ever heard of a rocket stove? It's made with tin and mud. I'm telling you, u might not believe me, and it might not make since to you, but it works! I've seen people heat there whole houses with mud and a flame! The same thing as a terracotta pot! I'm not talking about a little tea candle Hun. I'm talking about an oil candle. A large candle! Putting any flame heats the mud up from the pot, and the pot is the heater/stove not the candle hun.a candle you could use in an igloo. It's air tight. But yeah terracotta pot, aka rocket stoves, work!

@@allnaturalhomesteaders No. The Terra Cotta is there to contain the fire because it's fireproof, and it also retains the heat generated, but it DOESN'T increase the heat generated by the fire. Why are there rocket stoves made of metal? One other thing, Rocket Stoves are TERRIBLY inefficient. Almost all the heat goes right up the chimney. Absolutely, there are people that heat their Adobe houses with a fire from a clay fireplace inside, and I also have no doubt that the Adobe retains the heat generated, but it's the fire in the fireplace that's the source of the heat, and the clay doesn't increase the heat generated by the fire. If you think the Terra Cotta is the reason for the heat, set out pottery around your house without candles and pick them up later to feel if they're warmer than your hand. Adobe is also used because of the lack or cost of other building materials, and it keeps the home COOLER during the day, but retains the sun's heat and keeps the home warmer through the night and the morning. Why aren't Adobe houses common in Alaska and Minnesota?
