@sparksb I don't know for certain, but at least 2 of the facilitators have worm tanks at home so likely they will have added more organic material (un...
Hi The drainage assembly only becomes the pathway for liquid to leave the tank IF the tank is blocked. That's its primary failsafe function - to sto...
The greatest number of people served by one 1m³ tank I've heard of so far is our local community education project which handles 40-50 children and 5 ...
The IBC tote is really only a concession to our current societal attitudes to our own waste. From the ecosystem's point of view it's not helpful as yo...
My advice would be don't overthink or overengineer this thing! You have a natural ecosystem in an unnatural containment situation (the IBC tank) but a...
You need minimum drain slope (at least) to run outflow to the soakaway but I see no reason why you can't pipe down a 10-15° slope. It's not as if the ...
Hi. That's a pretty harsh environment you have to deal with but it's not so very unlike here (Portugal). It's very hard to say whether you have anough...
Gah! I'm so sorry! I only just saw this!OK. Well the most likely reason that I can think of is that the woodchips you're using are too fresh? Or that ...
Because this is a flush system, the worms have no problems with the diluted urine. It passes rapidly into the deeper layers of the tank where the nitr...
I'd advise just gently forking through the material in the tank. Without seeing it, it's impossible to diagnose precisely, but material settles as it ...
Hi Julian I have no experience with Dendrobaenas but theoretically they should be OK. Can you not get Eisenia foetida on places like eBay? Best ...
François and everyone! So sorry - I don't know how I missed the original post as I've only just seen this thanks to the latest one. I really don't adv...
There is absolutely NO risk of unprocessed solid material entering the drainage assembly! You don't place the drainage assembly directly beneath the i...
Hi Stefan I think you've missed the point of the drainage assembly. Bringing the drainage assembly to a level above the organic material achieves ...
Hi Nice to hear of your build. Questions 1-3. This entire region was decimated by wildfires in October 2017 (4 years ago to the day as it happens ...
