"Simple Walpini Greenhouse
A walipini style greenhouse is essentially a pit greenhouse, or a hole dug in the ground with glazing laid over it. The name “walipini” originated from a 2002 agricultural project where volunteers from the Benson Institute went to Bolivia with the goal of building low-cost pit greenhouses for local farmers to use year-round. The pit design was called a walipini which means “place of warmth” in the indigenous tongue (Schiller 162). Essentially, a walipini is a 6’-8’ hole dug in the ground that is covered with a single or double layer of polyethylene glazing."
