Rodale's The Solar Greenhouse Book (1978)
[probably out of print but I have an old copy} gives a couple examples of
composting in greenhouses. In one two bins are accessed by wood
doors in the back of the greenhouse. Every couple weeks the contents of
one was pulled out , mixed with horse manure, and put back in.
Sounds like a lot of wintertime work but if one had a horse stable adjacent to
the greenhouse would be good immediate utilization for the manure while it
is the hottest and a lot of good compost in the spring. In the other the
operator prided himself in being able to nurse "sick " house plants back to
health in a few days of humid CO2 rich atmosphere.
Another dual use that is intriguing is combine a
greenhouse with a sauna for which a couple examples are also
given. vann southern NH , still too much snow to
consider pruning.
