3 thoughts on “Heating His Home with Compost?”
Great article.
Jere, there are numerous projects done next to homes, workshops and barns, just search the net “heat my home with compost” for dozens of sources.

Was wondering if anybody has ever built a pile next to or behind a house, run 4″ corrugated flexible non-perforated drainline through pile and heated by hot air rising or using “muffin” fan to force air through at 100 CFM or so, elimating water piping, biggest concern is condensation of moisture inside hot air discharge pipe into house, figure should be very well insulated, looking at 30-60kbtu/hr, mentioned this idea to neighbor and brother, brother built pile to heat garage,said it kept garage at 70f, but had smell, turns out he used perforated pipe, DDUUHHHH
