Hi Valentino,

I got your site address through Yann Cochard. I contacted him because of his cleverness to manage information sites - this is my main point of interest at the moment. http://www.analisiqualitativa.com/magma/0103/intervista.htm
Next point of interest is "growing plants in and out of an earth built house". A characteristic of a clay house is its very high caloric inertia. I observed that along the façade of my own clay house, the snow doesn't stay. I want to make some experiment to find plants that may stay alive near this house although the climate in Lyon begins to be continental with cold winters.
A second point comes from Yann Cochard who told me that cactuses don't like to be inside houses.
The experiment would be to test if it's different in a clay house where the "energy" is very different from a concrete house.
These experiment from your point of view is that there are, in France alone, 1,5 million of clay houses i.e. 1,5 million people how may grow cactus WITHOUT a greenhouse.

Thank you in advance for your early reply,

Cheers,

Christian
