And does it meet it’s expectations, also in humid, hot summertimes? Look forward to the results this summer.

Possible alternatives:

– Ultra Clima greenhouse from http://www.kubo.nl (used by multiple commercial growers in dry area’s around the world) or similar systems.

– Closed cultivation, like Delicious (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=376Yk4g7Ifc)

I have proposed this type of solution for years. I can at least take comfort in knowing it does work. It will work quite well wherever massive ammounts of freshwater and aggricultural land development or remediation are needed.
