Marie,

They use black barrels in a number of the green houses down in our corner.
It would take a lot of milk jugs, but sequestering a BTU anywhere will be
one more BTU of heat that will be released as the temperature falls.

Regards to the list:

Today, it is 16 degrees and sunny here in north central Missouri. Our
new hoop house is all toasty warm. I wonder if I filled milk jugs with
water and stacked them up somewhere in the hoop house, would they warm
enough during the day to keep the house warm at night? Does anyone have
any data on something like this?

Marie in Missouri
