Build a $300 underground greenhouse for year-round gardening
Growers in colder climates often utilize various approaches to extend the growing season or to give their crops a boost, whether it’s coldframes, hoop houses or greenhouses.
Greenhouses are usually glazed structures, but are typically expensive to construct and heat throughout the winter. A much more affordable and effective alternative to glass greenhouses is the walipini (an Aymara Indian word for a “place of warmth”), also known as an underground or pit greenhouse.

“Slot Together Pyramid Garden Planter”
Step-by-step instructions here: http://www.instructables.com/id/Slot-Together-Pyramid-Garden-Planter/

If you made this bigger, and covered it in plastic sheeting then you could have a dome greenhouse.
33 trays moved into the greenhouse. A dozen more in the house. Even more starting. #spring #homesteading
