Always thought this was a grand idea - but wondered where the heck i'd put all the bottles before it was constructed.
Was great to see that the 'how to' plans from REAP (RodL's organisation in Keith) have been referenced. They're here should anyone fancy building a recycled greenhouse of their own.

At Aberdeen Forward, I look after the Master Composter Project, and the City Community Composting project. The city project covers several allotments - at Garthdee Allotments we have our own plot, and we are in the process of gathering materials to build a bottle greenhouse - dead excited and will post pics when it happens - may take a wee while.

Sounds fantastic. Look forward to seeing it.
Came to say hi to you in Huntly last week at the mini tattoo - lots of clever compost folks there - but not you. Sods law.

i remember on a visit to the Craigencalt Ecology Centre ( home of the earthship) in Fife I was amazed at the heat inside the plastic bottle house - there's a piccie if you scroll down this page - looks really neat - and if you click on it - it tells you more and offers courses on how to build

they used to have the plans available as a download - pretty sure I've got a copy somewhere.
