RE: HomeBioGas - Part 3 - Drip Irrigation Integration and 15 months of Operation

Love it, what a great idea and an easy system. Lucky you to have the easy access to all of the piping from your store though.

If my balcony was big enough, I'd definitely be doing something like this too!

Years ago I designed a commercial sized service like this too- manufacturing and placing partitioned bins into the tens of thousands of flats and apts in Melbourne to collect their organic waste, depositing into a series of underground giant bins to create different gases and fertilizers for use.

Unfortunately I never did anything with it, never told anyone about it (except my ex...) and so absolute nothing every came of it. 😞

And then a small company did exactly the same thing in my home town (in another state), but on a much, MUCH smaller scale, but I come from a small farming town and most people have either their own compost bins or numerous other means of disposing of their organic waste (like chickens...) and the bins that were provided were absolutely tiny anyway- not even large enough for scraps from one meal prep...., so a great idea, but not so well executed or thought out...

And after all, it's not people that live in rural areas that need this, its the millions of people living in apts in the cities that need this and I living in the middle of Melbourne (still) cannot justify and find it completely illogical that we do mix out organic waste in with general rubbish, when everything else is (supposedly...) getting recycled.....
