I have the same pit greenhouse idea as well. With my short growing season and the nights that drop below freezing even in the warm months I need to maintain above freezing temperatures. I'm looking at building a pit style greenhouse, recessed by about 4 feet into the round, with geothermal heating, and a passive solar design. If I add blankets that can be used to cover it overnight, that should keep things above freezing for a lot longer.
But mine is probably not going to be ready for a while. Look forward to seeing what you come up with.
Good luck with finding water. Iām sure you will find it.
