  21. I think you will need hot water tank buffer tank and Lots of plumbing a fair old pay back time if saving moneys the aim we have log boiler and buffer tank coupled to oil boiler works well alot of time and space both for fuel and equipment mind that’s for a bigger place
  22. If you are going for more compost than mulch how long do you leave it? do you fiddle on turning it adding muck or anything ? or just leave it in a pile? i ve gone a bit compost mad and am thinking of using woodchip but am thinking I should ‘precompost’ it for a year before adding to general pile any tips thanks
  23. What will you be doing with chips? small branches plenty leaves ideal for composting ?
  24. One thing to consider is when during the day is someone home if no one home during day then heat store buffer tank defo required. Bigger the better
