I had heard of the theory of heating water using a hose through the middle of a compost heap, but check out this video to see it in practise. What a fantastic addition to a system that uses the multi-faceted compost heap to turn waste in raw material and energy – not to mention the methane capture!
I love the idea of how simple it is to construct. If you had an existing shower or watering system, then it wouldn’t be a great stretch to add a compost along the way. I must get myself a compost thermometer too, obviously a very handy instrument.
