Has anyone done a side-by-side comparison?
(By now you may realize my bad habit of asking obvious questions )

1. While stonewalls collect heat in the daytime and warns up surrounding areas in the night, doesn’t this effect cancel each other out? That in the cool seasons it also deprives warmth in the daytime?
2. All stonewalls have deep foundations, which by definition limits the root growth by half.
3. The walls will always limit sunlight hours.
