Project is to design and construct a solar heat exchanger for plant growth enhancement and to save fuel costs. The project will produce a system of solar heat exchangers, in the greenhouse soil, to warm the soil temperature for enhanced plant growth, enhance microbial activity to decompose organic fertilizer and allow stored heat in the soil to heat the greenhouse.

Demonstration of a modified temperature regime in composting (turning as temperature requires, not at a fixed schedule) that produces a material that enhances the beneficial biotic populations, nutrient retention and nutrient cycling. The compost was spreaded on farm fields and using lysimeters leachate samples were collected and analyzed for water quality.
