Default Re: "geothermal" greenhouses

Unless you live in the land of perma-frost or near-surface aquifers, 6 feet down in solid ground the temperature is 60 F or higher throughout the year. When I took an environmental engineering course some 35 years ago, building underground embedded heat exchangers was standard technology. I expect that if you looked in an undergraduate textbook today, you'd find all the details necessary to build an inexpensive system.
