Up cycling waste. Appropriately Low tech. Genius and exactly appropriate for the context! I'll buy bags of it if it's available in my country.

How many days to carbonized before cooling down with water
@ludovicbourdon7017 Жыл бұрын
Only few hours if notvless of "cooking" and directly water down to stop the process, or you will end up with ashes only!

This is called biochar in the US and other countries, one should also charge/inoculate it before applying to soil

👍❤️Thank you so much😊🤜💐👏🔄👏 Definitely this the kind of smart aid and funds of development that we as Africans are in need that what you have been going to achieve there is more better than a fund of 100 million USD that would have to fall in the hands of corrupt African authorities and Mafia of funds for Africa.

Do you think bamboo planted near to the purpose dug channels would grow quickly as an alternative source of firewood and basketry. Would it use to much of the excess water? It is a worthy optional material to have on your land.
@AbundantbyNature3 жыл бұрын
Hi Chris, it would be very tempting to be planting bamboo during the wet season, when the swales are full. But you need to remember that in this part of the world, rain falls only for around 3 months! Only dryland type plants can be grown if not regularly irrigated. And during my time on the project, irrigating bamboo wasn't the client's focus. But you are right, thick wall bamboo types can be used to make charcoal. In this case it could also be used to feed animals during the 7 months long dry season. Thanks for your comment.

Nice work. You should have done a diverse mix of plants & trees. A hard pan doesn't make a difference to plants after a year. If you could get cattle in to graze in areas and kral them overnight before planting, you could prep the area with some good biology. The Savory Institute teaches how to graze effectively.

Hello is there any Experience of productivity of Plants between mixing CRH with soil and laying CRH on the top of the soil?
@DavidPaulNewtonScott3 жыл бұрын
Mixed with cement it will make a good fireproof insulator or even aircrete. You will have to charge that stuff or it will reduce soil fertility. Add your sewage and urine. My land in Portugal and the Philippines is low fertility so I will be adding biochar.

Saw one char maker use sheet metal. Made a long section about 5 feet long, folded it over to make like a triangle. Then Put wood in the triangle. Poured the rice hulls over the metal. Set the wood in the triangle on fire. Made about twice the amount of char. Than is made in this video.

The volume of carbonized rice husks will directly depend on the size of the pile you start with. If you start with a pile twice the size you will end up with twice the volume...try it!

I would not do it like that. I would trench against the slope at least 3 feet deep by 2 feet wide by 50 feet long. The depth of the trench will help prevent evaporation and help the soil absorb the rainfall. After you trench, put your trees on the downslope of the hill. After a couple of years, you will have a green forest!!!

Hi . Great job! What was the deciding factors for your Swale position
@AbundantbyNature3 жыл бұрын
Hi Shanon, thanks for your comment. Else then topography and elevation, the deciding factors on the swales positions were a distance between the lines that doesn't let water pickup too much speed and create erosion, but still has enough space to have a decent size plantation in between. It is based on quantity of rain fall and soil quality. In some part of the site we have a lot of clay, so erosion is very quick to happen. In others we have a lot of rocks and gravel. We had to find some kind of happy middle!
