I find you all here quite intelligent, so I was wondering if you could help me out with an experiment I thought up.
Ok if any of you in a cold climate could test it out and see if it works, or at least if you know something about growing plants let me know if my theory is valid.
Here’s the idea:
Plants require certain temperatures to grow, so what if you dug a circular hole in the ground: would you be able to dig far enough to create a suitable climate for the plant? Any edible plant, just generalization.
Say 10 ft in the ground, could you grow tomatoes in the sides of the walls of the hole you dug in Canada/Alaska/Russia? Obviously some mirrors would be needed to increase light in the bottom, or you could use LED’s if you had extra power....
But what do you think? Obviously the facts aren’t there, and 10ft may not be enough based upon the ground temperatures, but you get the overall idea. Anyone willing to try out my idea or let me know what they think?
