I have seen 400 acre aerobic composting sites using windrows where virtually all of a communities' organic materials from industry, personal, and other sources is carefully screened, the materials ground, arranged in six foot high windrows, safe microorganisms added, turned on a regular basis based upon temperature, and then used in 90 days in perfectly safe, rich black, fully composted planting materials. The key is the sorting and the proper processing. These have totally replaced the need for methane mountains. It has worked in communities around the U.S. and the world. Even saw it at work among the Amish in Illinois and Indiana as well as other sites and reviewed the reports of land being saved and people fed in South America, Asia, and Africa. The key is the process. The waste stream to provide source material is virtually endless. The only other component needed would be the "grow boxes". There are many alternatives to wood frames to deliver a turn-key frame. No weeds, no viruses, no tilling...just 100% rich, black compost about two feet deep.
