Where do you live? If winter is cold enough you will still need to heat your underground greenhouse. Interestingly enough you may find that your biggest problem will be overheating. Most greenhouses have vents to let hot air out... even in the winter. Good luck in your experiment

@gbclayjr We live in North Carolina, so I think it will do a little better than one built in a northern state. If it does not work out this year I may put a heater in it next year. Maybe a small solar heater. Thanks for the question, Lonny

oh yeah, and a fence so the deer don't jump on it

[bacongoosespamwich]

put some chopped up leaves and poop to give it an extra chance not to die

Do plants not need fresh air and stuff for there fhotosythesis.

Nice experiment tho

I wonder if it will work, it would be very impressive

Thanks for showing us Lonny

Im really interested to see if this works. Awesome experiment!

The only problem I see is if a child or someone else walks on top of it by accident or at night they might fall through it and cut themselves on the glass. I'd probably mark it somehow. Great idea otherwise. You could even place a heating tape in it.

I love this idea. I think with some experience with the soil conditions, this approach can reduce watering needs. A screen also be used with a sliding pane to provide ventilation but still keeps insects and rabbits out. Brilliant!

I'm agreeing with OK55ok55ok. It seems like it would fill with water, but it's a neat idea. There is a safety issue with anyone walking in the area though. That soil looks like it has a lot of clay in it, so when you plant the blueberries I'd add a lot of organic matter that is recommended for acid loving plants.  Blueberry pie sounds like a good idea too.

I do not think there is enough food in the pot to feed the plant as well as not room for the root system to grow. You may want to double the size of pots and over flow the pot into the hole. or maybe just plant them in the hole using a good fill to do so . HUM!!!!! good idea if it works. good luck.
