BioDigester Wrap Up and Making Thatch
Tom Kendall from the Permaculture Research Institute Sunshine Coast shows the end result of the Bio Digester setup: the gas. He also talks about and shows making thatch for a roof from vetiver grass.

Great video. You look like fun folks! How much volume does the vetiver grass as it dries? A lot of traditional thatch I’ve seen (in temperate climates, mind you) has been dried fiber to avoid gaps opening up after green stalks dry. I’m excited to see how the experiment works out!
Yes your right, we now know that it reduces in volume so next time we will dry it first. The best way to learn is just to get in and have a go!
