    We have all seen gabion walls used in landscaping or as an erosion control, but they are being used in other ways also such as in greenhouses. The gabion wall absorbs the suns rays as they shine through the glass of the greenhouse warming them up. As the day turns into evening and the temperatures start to drop, the gabion wall remains warm and keeps the temperature in the greenhouse more constant. The wall also aids in ventilation and air circulation. This summer my wife and I are going to build a greenhouse and will be using the gabion wall idea.
