Making a Glass House with a Heatsink - Part 1 - The Hole

This is our attempt to make a glass house heat sink like on 'its not easy being green'. The point of this is so that the glass under the soil warms up during the day from a fan pushing the hot air in the apex of the roof down and then at night the heat continues to rise through the soil keeping the vegetables & fruit at a good growing temperature. In NZ we can't grow anything much in winter so this will be awesome if it works. Part 2 (the wall, soil, frames and glass, solar panel, fan etc being created over the summer holidays)
