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

Friday 11 February 2011





a slight increase in temp from yesterday  i am more convinced i do not have the compost ratio between green and brown in my chamber i have far too much brown (woody stuff) my understanding is that brown stuff heats up at lower temp but last longer and green stuff (grass) heats up to higher temp quickly but does not last long 

as no real source of green until the grass cutting season in a few weeks

as away the weekend i will update monday . i may be able to source some soiled hay at the farm which is not as good as fresh grass cuttings but should help raise temp
