I have one more link to add. An article about his fig operation just came out in the St. Louis newspaper the other day titled 'Figs Fresh and Fabulous.' It is a good article and includes some more pictures.

Here is a link that might be useful: Fresh Figs and Fabulous

Great find, again! Keep it coming. I wish I had the land to try out the geothermal greenhouse technique.

Thanks for the posting and link i enjoy reading those articles.
Good for him !!!

Wish it spoke more about that geothermal method he uses, the only one Im aware of is for homes and they drill pretty deep for that I think.

Hello,
I am scheduled to visit Ivan in a couple of weeks. From what I understand, his system is not geothermal in the typical sense. He has pipes laid about 3 feet under the soil about 1 foot apart and pumps warm air through them during the day time and then extracts the heat at night - more details when I have a chance to see the system.

I've read about geothermal in mother earth news, and there are 2 methods, vertical pipes laid in like an oil well shaft and horizontal pipes like a grid or septic system grid.

Where can I easily buy fresh figs, or canned figs in the st Louis area?

Thanks

nmharris, Have you talked to the produce manager @ Schnucks??? My sister's friend works @ Schnucks in the produce dept. He says they order them when they are available on the produce list. His store has a big following for figs, so they always order them.
