It's an interesting area of study. It led me into subjects/topics that I
never dreamed would be applicable, much less hugely significant.

As you point out, not all sites are suitable for home heating - but you
can do a lot of learning in the shade and testing out your ideas in even
just a small patch of sunshine...

I might be able to ship you a crate of beavers for a reasonable price.  
Just sneak over and put peanut butter on the base of those trees and turn
em loose!

Don't the leaves fall off at the start of heating season?

 Query was posted to news:alt.solar.thermal, news:alt.energy.homepower,
and http://iedu.com/DeSoto/SC_Madison/SC_Plan.html  on February 8, 2011
and results were tallied on March 8, 2011.

Effort required to produce a reasonable quality How-To: 1+ month.
One respondent indicated a willingness to pay up to US$

Conclusion: There's not enough interest to justify the time and effort
needed to produce a good How-To document.

My thanks to all who visited/responded.

Correct Scientific Terminology:
Hypothesis - a guess as to why or how something occurs
Theory - a hypothesis that has been checked by enough experiments
  to be generally assumed to be true.
Law - a hypothesis that has been checked by enough experiments
  in enough different ways that it is assumed to be truer then a theory.
Note: nothing is proven in science, things are assumed to be true.
