Very kewl, Mets, thanks for the link! It could do a lot here in the high desert, too.

Thanks! I sent that link to our local organic gardening Guru, Howard Garrett. I'm curious to see what he says, or if he promotes the link on his web site.

This is the second time In the past couple of weeks that I've watched something regarding agricultural practices and the possible implications, that has amazed me.

On the documentary Hot Rocks, which is also fascinating, Scottish geologist Ian Stewart had a segment on Incan structures, that looked like large terraced stone amphitheatres. However, they weren't designed for watching games, but for growing crtops. Using this heat sink method, the Incas could successfully grow root vegetables and other crops at elevations of up to 12,000 feet.
