Never thought about building the shed to trap heat from the sun etc &
use wood chippings etc?
I ask because I ran into some russians in Switzerland (the place woz
crawling with them) who've done some work on building low heat requirement
buildings & they were saying how they'd made buildings in russia wot're
virtually self sufficient in heat terms (even the russkis don't like
wasting heat no more).
