[Digestion] Biogas from Begonia, Chrysanthemum and Poinsettia

[Anand Karve]

Dear Mr. Tumwesige,

just chop up the material and feed it into the biogas plant. Everything
except the lignin would be turned into biogas. We regularly use green
leaves as feedstock. The midribs and veins accumulated in the biogas plant
as undigested debris are removed by opening a drain valve at the bottom of
the biogas plant.
Yours
A.D.Karve
