I believe this article is very misleading. For example, the claim that the walipini design is similar in concept to the pineapple pits used by Victorian gardeners is completely false. The pineapple pits were warmed by many tons of fresh horse manure, regularly replaced. No sign of that in walipini pictures!

Here are two articles explaining why something that works in Bolivia may not be useful in Northern latitudes, one from a UK perspective and one from the USA:

Do Walipini Underground Greenhouses Work in UK?^[1]

The Truth About Walipini^[2]

I leave it to someone with more Wikipedia editing experience than I to fix the article.
