Not yet. But if you look at the "gaps" between the sidewalls, it should give fairly good isolation along a lot of the surface area. While some of this will compress near the top with the Grow Media installed, I believe even without an air gap, the double thickness will be a positive thing.
I am also of the view that air exchange under the Aeration Bench will be better with the gaps between the containers.
I really liked the idea of only having to throw a one inch wide strip into the Recycle Bin, rather than 2/3'rds of the second container, which was the case with the EarthTainer II design.
Well, I've already found 2 minor typos when re-reading it for the seventh time, (see if you can find them
), so will be posting an updated version with these fixed in a few days (after I re-read it for the eighth time).
