House greenhouse, or how not to pay for fruit and vegetables

Citizens are often deprived of the opportunity to acquire a truly fresh, just plucked from the garden vegetables and fruits. And many suburban residents do not always have the opportunity to grow up on his site all he wants. For example, heat-loving species. It affects a limited area of ​​land or unsuitable climatic conditions. The solution may be greenhouse-thermos device what we have been told in detail.

Went even further, scientists from the Netherlands, who created the unusual house-greenhouse. The idea is to bring together in one dwelling energy efficient technologies and garden complex.

Thus, the researchers want to test the idea of ​​building an autonomous house, which will be able to feed their tenants.

For a bold experiment (it is scheduled for the end of 2018) it was built building on frame technology, with glass transparent roof and walls of the third floor.

The house is oriented to the cardinal. The angle of slope of the roof is designed transparent so that plants get the maximum degree of insolation. If necessary, the glass curtain curtains. In addition to the greenhouse, the house was equipped with a system of collecting rainwater, which is used for irrigation and technical needs,

geliokollektorom, as well as ground heat exchangers.

Tests have shown that the idea of ​​working in a greenhouse all year manage to grow a variety of vegetables and fruits. For example, watermelon, tomatoes, peppers, beets, zucchini and cauliflower.

In order to approximate the experimental conditions to the natural environment in the house (on a competitive selection) settled a family of four. According to the experimental conditions people have to live in their usual rhythm. Despite the theoretical background and detailed instructions, citizens had a hard time. Affected by the lack of practical experience of life "on the ground".

So, people had to adjust their schedules a garden. Get up early in the morning, to distribute responsibilities, weeding, fertilizing, to decide who and what day is engaged in watering, caring for plants, control at work ventilation systems etc.

According Helly Scholten (wife of the head of the family) once they had left the house for a few days in the summer, and when returned, they discovered that the plants planted in a vertical garden, died because of the heat and lack of moisture.

This was the lesson of the family and forced them to take to the experiment, not as a fun game, but as a serious work that requires a lot of effort and knowledge. Things went smoothly. Now the Dutch self-sufficient in vegetables and fruits, and even left a surplus.

After one year, I can say that now I can not imagine how one can live in an ordinary cottage. Our house - the living. We know that only by our efforts depends on how much fresh fruit and vegetables would be at our table. Moreover, now we often to friends, and we see how enthusiastic they are with us are busy in the garden.

The developers emphasize that although the house is a pilot, it is fulfilled in the technology, are looking for ways to improve the home, combined with a greenhouse. In the future, the researchers plan to put the production on stream housing sets, so that everyone could get your personal garden.
