Guidestone Distro Greenhouse Bedwalls

The Distro greenhouse is a pit style construction, with a low center and walls supporting the perimeter planters. The walls are constructed in ferro-cement, a construction that is nothing more than plaster encased steel mesh and rebar. By introducing curvatures, the walls end up being completely bombproof, resistant to decay and virtually all physical damage. This method is cheap, quick and resource efficient, stores thermal energy and they use up the least possible amount of space in the greenhouse. They are plastered in black pigmented material for solar gain where exposed, and white pigment where not exposed.
