Compost Water Heater
This was such a fun project to do with the kids. One of the concepts behind Permaulture is a garden system that is productive and self-sustaining, and we love that concept here at MTL Nursery. We had just started making our own compost, and also love propagating plants. One of those things produces heat and the other requires heat! You can see where this is going…
Check out the video below for the process!
The heat from the compost helped in the propagation of over 1,000 leyland cypress trees! Seeing the output of heat from the compost pile directly affect the water temperature inside the greenhouse, was such a great way to see cause and effect. Our hands-on approach to learning here at MTL Nursery helps to teach valuable skills and demonstrate cause and effect in a dynamic setting.
