i have been experimenting with various ways of collecting heat from a compost heap my latest model was built with a with help of Johan ..thank you matey for all your help

Tuesday 15 February 2011



Having returned home from a few days away i find the compost has cooled to 19c i have rotated the drum and hoping it will recover.

i am bit disappointed it has not maintained a higher temperature, but that is all part of the game to see how this will work 

several things to try out rotating drum will mix air in. but i am still convinced i need to add more green nitrogen rich material into the drum , this may not happen for a few weeks till grass cutting season
