I recall a short article on a "sun-pit" cool/unheated greenhouse
in the Brooklyn Botanic Garden's booklet "Rock Gardening". I've seen
similar designs in such magazines as "Mother Earth" and "Organic
Gardening", recommended for cold climates. You would need a southern
exposure, preferably sloping [or really superior drainage!] to make it
work -- basically it's a root-cellar with galssed-in south side.
The author of the sun-pit article, Lee Raden, lives in western
Pennsylvania [I believe]. He illustrated a structure used largely for
bulbs, but the principle should transfer.
