Re: [MBZ] OT Renewable Energy project in Utah

My in-laws have some sort of huge trees that fill their yard with leaves every year. They bag 'em and we haul them here, usually 2 full pickup loads. We have more smaller trees that I run through the lawnmower and put in the compost pile. All that composts down to 4-5 cubic feet. Its amazing to w

Re: [MBZ] OT Renewable Energy project in Utah

Using animal waste to generate methane to generate power is old news. I worked on total confinement hog operations in the early 1980s in Indiana that were generating a good portion of their own power using digesters powered by pig poop. An operation with 2000 hogs could generate its own power w

Re: [MBZ] OT Renewable Energy project in Utah

you need a couple of BIG sycamore trees that get plenty of water. Those will produce 4-6 cubic YARDS of mulch each year. Way more than we need for a 800-1000 sq ft garden. not to mention a steady supply of kindling for your wood fars. Curt Raymond via Mercedes

Re: [MBZ] OT Renewable Energy project in Utah

On farm methane production was popular in the 80s. Then the goobermnt/big 3 buyers engineered a reduction in farm income, so nobody had money to build them. There was 2-3 years again recently where farm income started to make sense and people were building again, but this time it was more mo

Worm castings are big business and *shouldn't* be too labor intensive but you need a good system thats well thought out. The smart folks use trays the worms migrate through. So as the food is consumed they move down, you harvest that tray, reload and place it at the bottom. I think its top down

Re: [MBZ] And back out to the heat....

It'd be interesting to open them up and see what failed. The panels are pretty weak from physical damage but otherwise really can't break. I'd guess the leads are glued to them and the glue has failed. Grab a rear defogger repair kit (do they still make those?) and glue them back on... -Curt

Re: [MBZ] OT Renewable Energy project in Utah

This is an up and coming thing on farms. Dad was telling me about going to some place in Maine that was way off the end of a dirt road in the middle of nowhere that had a great big digester. He said you knew something was up by the size of the power lines to and from the place.I forget how much

Re: [MBZ] Tire Fun

I wish The tires that fit these wheels (17" x 7" & 17" x 8", I believe) are very limited as far as availability. They're also classified as "performance tires" by the manufacturers, as they have a much softer composition and as a result wear faster than a standard road tire. That means the
