Water has more thermal mass than any other material, so it wouldn't hurt. The
water in a week will start turning into a pond , so keep that in mind.
The Great Challenges we now face as a species present the very opportunities
that are giving birth to Ecological, Psychological, and Spiritual
Sustainability.

Subject: [permaculture] water barrels as thermal mass
I have a tiny 8' x 12' greenhouse that I was thinking of putting 3 55
gallon water barrels in for thermal mass. This time of the year 2-3
degrees would make a big difference early in the morning but wondering
if anyone has experience with this & would know if 3 barrels would
make any difference?
