[Digestion] Grass clipping digester start up.

[Wayne Zschech]

G'day all!

About ten years ago I made a 100 litre test digester that I fed grass
clippings.  I can't recall starting it up with any manure at all. I also
don't remember feed rates etc.. ...the whole process was pretty
unscientific. It did produce a combustible gas however.

Now we are looking at a starting a larger unit that runs on grass clippings
and eventually food waste. We don't have access to manure.  Can someone
give me pointers on how to get things going? The new unit will be several
cubic metres. I'd prefer to avoid creating a smelly messy failure if at all
possible.  Your input would be greatly appreciated.

Blessings,
Wayne
