It has me thinking about how, on the farm, we would extend the growing season, out in the garden. We would build what is called a hot frame. Basically, a wooden frame filled with fresh manure. And as it composted, it would put off a fair amount of heat! Keeping the vegetables from getting to cold! Could we perhaps integrate this idea into our Vans to extend the camping season? I think, perhaps about four inches of fresh manure on the floor would be about optimal. Has anyone else considered this innovative concept? Have a good Friday, farmer John... :)
