I've been composting my humanure for 20 years. I'm in!

Commonly found wild foods and medicine plants in our woods are blackberries, raspberries, wild strawberries, apples (from a long lost 150+ year old farm), pine needle tea, nettles, willow bark and more. Of course, can't forget dandelions and cattails ...

I want to wrap my copper coils tightly around the exterior of the drum, and thermosyphon to a hot water tank above the ceiling. I live in a warm climate and don't need much space heating. Any issues? Of course I'll use an expansion tank and a temperature / pressure relief valve.
