Free Hot Water from Compost Wheelie Bin



Compost piles do a great job of breaking down our organic waste and keeping our trash cans on the curb lighter with the benefits of organic matter to mix into our gardens. Although it does awesome things for our green footprint, it can do even more than you had originally thought.

Compost can reach a core temperature of 70 degrees Centigrade. Conventional Hot Water systems are thermostatically set to heat the water to around 65 – 70 degrees centigrade. So at its peak this system will create very hot water for free.

Even though this DIY idea is a little more complicated than your average garden undertaking, we think it’s worth the mention for those who are looking for a challenge this summer. Your goal is to harness the methane created by the decomposing of your compost. See the original article below:
