    Has anyone got experience with building an outbuilding/ workshed and using this technique instead of buying green treat.

    check out My Self Reliance/Shawn James videos. He used the technique on the root cellar he built under his log cabin a couple of years ago. I don't have very good internet so I can't share a link.
