Abstract:

Exhaust air from a Kansas State University swine finishing house provides CO2 and possible other gases that are used by vegetable plants. In addition, a rock storage system reduces fuel requirements of the greenhouse. Tomatoes, cucumbers, and broccoli transplants have been grown in the greenhouses.
