I hope I can find it as YT seems to have deleted it.\n\nA few years ago my brother took me with as we went to visit someone living in what they call 'plots' over here. A plot is a home with land of at least 3ha,<br> but usually more like 10 to 40 ha. It is also outside of any municipality and thus they can avoid tying in to the sewerage,<br> water and electricity...if that is what they want.\n\nThis house we went to,<br> we were shown how he had dug a hole,<br> square,<br> a metre by a metre and maybe a bit more in depth. It was filled with water and from neighbouring plots he collected horse and cow manure,<br> which he dumped in the water. As it created gas,<br> it turned a generator and so he had electricity,<br> with refigerators,<br> freezers,<br> electric cooking and ovens,<br> plus tv and heating of his home. The gas he also used for providing lights and for heating if it gets very cold.\n\nHis own sewerage came out in a pond,<br> and the water from there was clean enough to drink and there was no smell - I seem to recall it being called the open french sewerage system....\n\nWhat I am saying is,<br> there is a lot you can do for becoming totally independant and none of it is expensive,<br> just a bit of a hassle to set up.\n\nAny info you want,<br> please let me know.",<br>"json_metadata":" \"tags\":[\"dailyquotes\" ,<br>\"app\":\"steemit\/0.1\" " |
