Fertiliser

A by-product of collecting methane for fuel is a high quality, sterile fertiliser. So a farmer or smallholder using methane for cooking or to power a generator or water pump, gets first-rate fertiliser - for free!

KCSI is studying the possibility of organic waste collection on a municipality-wide scale, with a view to high capacity composting, giving the local residents access to good compost at very reasonable prices. It will also ensure that a town is cleaner (and therefore healthier), especially in areas where food markets and street vendors sell their produce.

ACON is carrying out some interesting trials with composted water hyacinth, which of course is a major pest in the waterways of Kenya, particularly Lake Victoria.

Presently, they are testing water hyacinth compost with other fertilisers to find the best mix.

ACON will soon be boasting a web site with their results to date. Watch this space.
