[Stoves] [biochar] Re: Haiti document of comments

[Energies Naturals C.B.]

just my 2 cents:

Has anyone ever tried to grow hedgerows of arundo donax for erosion contrrol and fuel?

It is the ideal crop as for fast biomass buildup, easy harvest and processing.
The root system can clear almost all kind of domestic sewers.
The leaves make good fodder and the canes can be used in many other ways than just burning them.
Our houses have them as structural elements in the ceilings, greenhouse structures, tomato poles and so on.
I made perfect pellets out of them...

The mostly straight growing canes lend themselves to burn easily in continuosly fed fires like Rockets.

Who wants to try?

Rolf
