Hi Bob, I looked over parts of your site and I am excited to find other people thinking about the bigger picture. My view on most of the worlds issues always seems to come right back to carring capacity. Human beings manage and controll every other living thing on this planet and I must say I'm not impresed. I respect the people out there who are moving against the unbelievable lack of responsibility torward our home. But I must say, if we could control our numbers on this planet our ecosystem might be able to survive our allien like approach to progress. Anyway, I'm not here to convert anyone. My reason for the visit is to ask you about your digester. The house I live in is off the grid, and I noticed that you use a length of heat tape to heat the slurry with is this more efficent than water coils in the slurry. Don't mean to question your design but I entend to build one and power is a big concern of mine. Also about your composter do you find that without turning the compost and keeping it moist you cant get it to completly break down. I compost tons of horse manure every year and can't get the results I want in a static pile even with perforated pipe in the piles. I would appreciate any knowledge you have in these areas to help me be a better caretaker of earth. Drifter
