So, after a few weeks of collecting cow shit liquids and letting it ferment in the NEW biodigestor ... we are finally cooking with gas in the Stablo kitchen. Yes, that means that we are using homemade biodigestor gas from our milk cows to provide the energy to pasteurize our cow and goat milk. Vivian is really excited to be using the biogas.
Also, next to the biodigestor, we are busy finishing up a worm compost (vermiculture) area that will use non-liquid cow shit (poo-poo solids) that is filtered/screened from entry into the biodigestor's large plastic fermentation bag.
It is really great that Efrain and Jose and Roger (along with Miguel and Esteban) are using a DVD produced by nearby Earth University as their guide for the building plans for the biodigestor, and a visit to Earth University's organic garden to get ideas for the worm compost (vermiculture) ... in a visit hosted by Heiner Castillo. In addition, we are following the Earth University directions on producing our own fermented organic fertilizers.
Of course this is all very exciting as we move ahead at FRP in our efforts to be more self-sufficient and sustainable in an organic agriculture and permaculture way of doing things.
This is, as we say "good shit" happeing at FRP. Pura Vida, Dr. Paulo
