I have a #coldframe made of perspex and wood which due to its location gets a lot of sun in the morning, I've added some temperature sensors and it can get temps of over 40C at times, this is only for 30-60mins and then it gets a bit of shade and cools down.

I'd like to try and take advantage of this burst of heat but spread it during the day - so Mastodon friends - would adding some thermal mass help, perhaps a plastic bottle of water painted black?

What's nice is that I have sensors so should be able to monitor effectiveness!

Of course its time to add some sensors to my #glassHouse / #coldFrame - I've built a wireless sensor (uses an old 868Mhz sensor network I have at home) and finally got round to writing a ds18b20 driver for it (https://git.solarcene.community/smallsolar/ukhasnet_ds18bs20).

It will have 2 temperature sensors - one will be installed 'outside' the frame while the other will be inside - but I'm not sure where - any thoughts?

wut?? magic!!!

(We just had a stretch of single digit nights)

Winter greens under the #coldframe are one of my favorite things to spy on. Right up there with flipping compost or flat rocks in streams...

Is there something like the equally amazing mosstodon we could get started for this?
