I read the book The Compost-Powered Water Heater: How to heat your greenhouse, pool, or buildings with only compost and was absolutely thrilled! It's a really great guide with lots of interesting ideas and practical tips. I especially liked how the author explains in detail how to use compost for heating. The book has inspired me for new projects! By the way, I remembered my experience with https://plumbing-united.com/ service when I needed a water heater installation. Their technicians turned out to be true professionals and I was extremely pleased with the quality of their work. If anyone needs plumbing or heating services, I highly recommend them!
