While searching the Internet, using a term something like "sustainable green houses in Idaho" I found a link to a page that linked to other pages and I found this: http://www.highere.org/ I read many of their Blog posts before contacting the owner and asking some questions, the most import was, "Can I come visit and talk to you?"
"Hi Dave, thanks for the kind words. The Earthship is coming along beautifully. I would be happy to show you around some time. For the most part, we are home and working on the place, so most times would work, but please propose some days and I will see if there is anything conflicting.
The second half of August I will be gone, but between now and then, we'll be plugging away at it. ~ Christian"
I can visualise a visit to the Tetons during the first two weeks of August, hopefully, coinciding with the signing of the paperwork for the property.
One of the links from the higher.org blog is about a type of gardening, something I will try here in Poulsbo on my current property.
I may also take the opportunity to build an earth sheltered green house here in Poulsbo, just to gain experience in building one. I will gain valuable experience sourcing and using recycled materials, which will serve me well when I start to build in Idaho.
I also checked out a DVD from the library telling the story of the building of a "Straw bale" home. I guess it is available on youtube also
