Re: Hot Stone

An old trick I was taught in the RAF:

Dig a hole about a foot deep, part fill with foliage then place a cup in the centre. Cover the hole with plastic sheeting, place a small stone near the centre above the cup. Water from the foliage will evaporate, condense on the plastic and run down to the cup.

This can also be used on a sandy beach where you dig to the water table, so foliage isn't needed.

Polycarb-glazed greenhouses often get a lot of condensation inside as the plants transpire (?), but I've yet to figure out a way to collect it for reycling to the plants.
