Default Re: Had an idea on a greenhouse for bananas

I just finished one about 1/2 that size, but not with a pit. As Matt have point out, other members have constructed greenhouses over 3 to 4 ft deep pits to increase interior height without increasing the greenhouse framing height. An additional advantage reported, is the ground temperature (heat) easily keeps interior temps in the mid 40s without additional heating during very cold freezing temps outside.

Should I need a bigger greenhouse, I would consider building it with a pit.
