Greetings
Effectively the description is EXACT. Now coming to the fact the heat is
more higher than what I need it simply means i should look for a different
strategy.
Or maybe focus on a different products ?
It's true am really interested in creating values in my farm.
In fact as much as am whiling to be doing research i can't ignore the fact
am first in a position to make sure I can develop a sustainability strategy
before I can think about research and development.
Feel free to propose designs i can implement to :
#Produce CHARCOAL with Biomass
#Produce BIOCHAR with Biomass
or even a SYSTEM to SMOKE FISH & PIG MEAT as those are things am also
planning to implement in the farm.
It's true the Garry I want to even venture into is to make sure I can be
having small Income to sustain the Integrated farm Activities.
In fact i simply find unfortunate that my family is owning land and with my
little means I can't exploit it effectively.
So am whiling to collaborate with anyone who can guide me to realise things
in the farm.
Will share pictures of the Garry process as soon as I get started.
Thanks
