if you burm up the north side with dirt and plant bamboo on the mound it'll create even more of a buffer reducing the draw of the cold wind blowing. Bamboo Garden North Plains Oregon
If it's possible for you to install a gravity flow drain pipe downhill, I would recommend that. To do this your greenhouse would need to be on a hill so the drain pipe has somewhere to go. A sump pump would be ok as long as the electricity is reliable and cheap which it probably isn't. And pumps do burn up eventually and then you are replacing pumps every few years so that's not ideal. It may simply not be within the context of your situation to go into the ground with a high water table. You may consider berming dirt above ground to create a thermal mass to have the same effect. You may also consider building on the existing soil level to avoid water issues and installing a ground source heat pump to collect thermal energy. I designed my greenhouse the way I did within the context of our local conditions so I would seriously consider other options in high water table areas. Great question, Thanks for asking.

Thank you. Check out my website: www.georgicrevolution.com for classes. I will have a class in January here in this greenhouse. I have a summer class from late May to early September and online classes coming soon you can do at your own home.
Thank you for sharing your experience and advice on the Walipini greenhouse. Looking forward to more videos from your channel.

GREAT video, fascinating information and history!
Thank you.
Great video! Thank you for the information!
Thanks for watching!
We have a super high water table. How could we keep the water out without constantly running a sump pump?

@@gardening_with_william_demille thanks- I’m relatively local so I’m partial to the in-person class
