An experimental design where the roof feeds water straight into IBC wicking beds plumbed together to share the water.

    I like the greenhouse set up with one side being higher with the ledge making work easier to get to.

    Yeah its super handy. I've since added some slimline water tanks for more thermal mass and ease of watering. It also insulates the heat a bit from going into the brickwork and therefore, the house. Thanks for watching Wanie.

    My guy, this is above and beyond. I was looking at something far simpler. You've given me some dangerously good ideas.

    Ooo intriguing! Is there somewhere we can see these ideas of yours play out? Good luck with them in any case!

    @@SuburbanHomesteadExperiments no brother, I'm still formulating. I was looking at a wicking bed setup in a greenhouse. Something semi-permanent so I dont have to pay for a permit. But you've gone right ahead and done a flow through wicking bed setup, heated by a built-in greenhouse. So that's insulating your house from rapid temperature fluctuations due to weather. That's also making use of the thermal density of the brick wall with full sunlight. So you could start your seeds way early, then you have plenty of space to plant them out when the season comes in.

    @@slowlyworkingthingsout Thanks for the reply. It does seem to cook that brick wall more than I want unfortunately, despite (as you said), insulating it from rapid temperate fluctuations. If you haven't checked out Earthships, I recommend them for greenhouse integration (over mine by a long way). Earthships have a brilliant design for temperature regulation, among other cool features. Here is a good place to start kzread.info/dash/bejne/dIKZzdetlJCcobA.html. Good luck with your projects Jesse!
