See how a biodigester turns food scraps and manure into biogas and liquid fertilizer. We walk through a working digester, the biology inside it, feeding schedules, temperature and pH, and how to use the digestate in the garden. Day two covers sizing a small digester for your household and the safety practices every biogas system needs.
