–(PR.com)– Ronald
Jenkins,
an
interventional
cardiologist
in
North
Idaho,
practicing
in
both
Sandpoint
and
Coeur
D’Alene,
has
completed
his
new
book,
“The
Solar
Garden
Greenhouse:
The
Design
and
Construction
of
a
Year-Round
Solar-Powered,
Carbon-Neutral
Greenhouse”:
an
educational
work
that
inspires
readers
to
find
means
and
methods
to
build
effective
greenhouses
without
a
large
carbon
footprint.
Author
Ronald
Jenkins
serves
as
the
medical
director
for
North
Idaho
Cardiac
Rehabilitation
and
Bonner
County
Emergency
Medical
Services.
He
enjoys
snow-
and
waterskiing,
wakeboarding,
hiking,
and
traveling
with
his
family
and
is
active
in
his
community.
His
passion
is
for
gardening,
working
in
his
greenhouse,
providing
heart-healthy,
organic,
and
pesticide-free
fruits,
vegetables,
and
flowers
for
his
family,
and
exploring
the
boundaries
of
geothermal
principles
and
techniques
as
they
apply
to
architecture,
gardening,
and
greenhouse
functionality
and
construction.
Jenkins
writes,
“I
set
out
to
design
and
construct
a
year-round
greenhouse
with
the
intention
of
producing
the
majority
of
the
vegetables
we
would
use
in
our
home.
My
plan
was
to
research
possible
types
of
construction,
ventilation,
heating,
and
power
systems,
with
a
goal
of
a
net-zero
carbon
footprint,
if
that
were
possible.
We
live
in
Northern
Idaho,
fifty-six
miles
from
the
Canadian
border,
so
this
goal
presented
quite
the
challenge.
I
knew
I
had
to
weigh
in
functionality,
aesthetics,
cost,
and
common
sense
to
come
up
with
a
plan
that
would
be
both
feasible
and
successful.
Research,
planning,
and
saving
spanned
for
almost
ten
years.
Excavation
commenced
on
September
6,
2017,
and
construction
of
the
greenhouse
and
surrounding
landscaping
was
completed
by
October
6,
2018.
What
follows
is
the
story
of
the
goals,
planning,
construction,
and
results
of
these
efforts.
It
is
my
hope
and
goal
to
pass
on
the
lessons
I
learned
in
this
process
so
that
others
may
learn,
evaluate,
and
come
up
with
further
ideas
and
improvements.
I
would
like
to
see
a
rebirth
of
family
gardens,
root
cellars,
and
modern
greenhouses
used
to
supplement
a
healthy
diet
rather
than
abdicating
to
processed
foods
from
increasingly
obscure
sources,
with
unknown
hazards
and
toxins.”
