great site! loving it already (8
needless to say since this an intro thread...another newbie here.
i live in arizona (the hot part) so this is our low-energy time of year. i have spent all winter trying to do more to reduce our outrageous summer electric bills.
up until about a year ago i focused mainly on the house itself. my new focus is the yard. i've planted trees, cacti, and shrubs all winter hoping for some relief this coming summer. it took a long time to get the soil modified enough to be fit for planting.
i ended up here searching to see if a goofy idea i had has been tried before. got sidetracked because i'm loving the site...hoping to figure out how to best keep the inside at least 40 degrees cooler than the outside.
