The one not in use was rotated out, refreshed for replacement since the most of the heat is gathered from the first 3 (?)weeks of composting. Novel idea!

I do this to add a bit of extra warmth in the early spring in my unheated GH. A three by four foot area in a corner under a potting table works just fine for me. Watch the nitrogen levels though. One year I added too much blood meal....whew! What a stink! The seedlings loved it though...all those yummy gasses floating around!
