One of our latest projects here at Blue Rock Station is construction of a new plastic bottle greenhouse.

This really cool structure is made using a rammed earth foundation (tires) incorporates over 1000 2-liter plastic soft drink bottles as its walls, a straw bale north wall as well as two 55-gallon rain barrels (courtesy of Little Square Farm) into the north wall.

Our thanks to the students from Clark Montessori High School for their help in constructing this building.  We hope they learned as much from us as we learned from them.
