Default Thanks for documenting this!

I've got several 'little' gshp projects like this in various states of
'not really started yet' so it's good motivation to hear that yours is
working, and doing what you predicted.

What did you end up doing out in the garden for a heat field?
edit- holy cats, I found it- and more- in the PDF! That's very detailed!

I'll be curious how your thermal reserve holds up to the cold days this spring.
Like you, we live in a pretty moderate climate, and DIY digging the field much deeper
than a a meter or so is almost impossible due to the geology. The colder climates
need to go deeper- so while 2m is well- known, I've not found a lot of data
about how well a shallower depth works when it's +5c in the winter.

Brilliant!
