What if your greenhouse could heat itself — no gas, no electricity, no propane? That's exactly what we built, and the secret is simpler than you think: thermal mass using black IBC water totes! We partnered with Los Angeles Tote because they had the best quality, best price, and they look nice. Visit LosAngelesTote.com/PROVIDENT – 10% off black IBC totes with promo code: PROVIDENT. These black totes have so many prepper uses: aquaponics & fish systems, rainwater catchment, outdoor emergency water storage, thermal mass in greenhouses, and MUCH MORE!
Water holds heat 3X better than soil and 2X better than concrete, making these 275-gallon black totes the ultimate thermal battery. They charge up with solar energy during the day and slowly release it overnight — keeping your plants alive and thriving all winter long. Pure science. Zero utility bills.
