Th...Mini Solarium, I've got one and it's brilliant! There's a bunch of tomatoes, beans, and morning glories starting in it right now, in amongst the tropical plants that will make it out onto the deck one we get past any threat of frost. Our solarium faces due East, and so it picks up the morning sun. This works great in the winter, because it heats up the kitchen/family room early in the morning. The thick slate floor soaks up some heat, as do all of the plants in large pots, and it keeps the house warm (ish) throughout the day, because we have a system of doors to funnel the heat to different areas of the house. In the summer we have to shade it, and open the bottom vents while opening high vents on the opposite side of the house to get a flow-through effect. The deciduous trees that surround our house help ameliorate the effect of the sun in the summer. We're East Coast temperate--I'm sure you'd have to adjust direction and placement for your climate and location. Good on ya!Bob Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00890534411595848772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-55846407796134473712009-04-17T21:56:00.000-05:002009-04-17T21:56:00.000-05:00Just let the bull come to your hand.
