Building a compost hot house for winter out of old windows and plastic. Now rather than freeze till spring my compost will rot and be ready for spring planting!

Thanks, its become an accidental green house over the summer with a volunteer squash or melon coming up! Its thriving and i'm hoping its water melon but not sure!

The heat depends on the day, I should double check but it is ussualy at least 10 degrees warmer in the daytime.

Thanks, it is making the most amazing compost I have ever had! And with small amounts of moisture, 4-6 gallons a week, the humidity is rotting the compost faster than I ever imagined!

Did you wonder that if it got hot enuf, it could warm a green house and you could grow plants in very late Fall! ?? in a few pots around the compost.
