Is anyone on here using the heat generated by composting to heat their domestic hot water?
As a working farm I have access to some serious crop acreage and woodlot and could easily obtain enough compost (haylage and wood chips) to start a compost pile that generated enough heat to at least bring the water temperature up enough so my current propane-powered water heater would not use so much fuel.
As we all know, silage piles and compost heaps produce quite a bit of heat...too bad I could not get that heat to warm my radiant floors and keep my boiler from running so much.

Tell a welfare recipient they must work and they call their congressman. Tell a farmer he can no longer work and he commits suicide. No wonder 1/2% of the population feeds the other 99-1/2%!!
