I dont want to use vermiculture, I just want to see if theres any bacteria or enzyme that could accelerate biodigestion. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Nov 11, 2010 at 6:39 PM, Theo Bijman <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:T.Bijman@thecogas.nl">T.Bijman@thecogas.nl</a>></span> wrote:<br>

With raw manure, I could see the advantage, as you would get a somewhat dry, concentrated and easy to apply organic fertilizer, without the acidifying effect of manure. Is it the reduction in volume that is an advantage? Or are people used to using vermiculture organic fertilizer and do not know the usage of digested solid waste? Maybe somebody has some thoughts about this. Do you apply liquid waste to the composting heaps (the liquids which remains when separating digistate into solids and liquids?) to keep it moist?</span></p>

I think it was in India. I think they were using sawdust to soak up the water and composting it for a period of time and then introducing the worms. I can't find the link now. Does anyone remember what I'm talking about? Or does anyone have any info about vermiculture combined with biogas? <br>
