[Cob] Re:[organic-cob] mudbrick SOLAR greenhouse

[dirtcheapbuilder-Charmaine Taylor]

Earth-lovers and mud daubers:     here is an amazingly cool idea for 
solar/mud brick use in dry/desert areas.

Architect Andew Webb does some amazing work in areas of great need.  
there is not a stick of wood in sight for miles... so solar for food  
cooking in a  mud brick solar cooker would be a good idea too.  Garden 
in one and cook in the next.

  the sloped mud brick greenhouse  looks like a great idea for a steep 
slope piece of land too.


Maybe a smaller version... build onto the side of the greenhouse at 
table height ...where you walk up to the back, open the oven door and 
take out your solar cooked  falafel and rice curry!

could easily very  done in  mudbrick


I've even seen an image of a  papercrete walled solar cooker.. used in 
the middle east.
