RE: Evolving the Tiger toilet part 7
Ants love the sugar cane too! I found it impossible to grow without pesticides here in Thailand.
Thanks - upvoted. You may be interested in a new project I have started to help minnows further: Minnows Accelerator Project [Reward Share and 200 SP Delegated][July 2017 Signups]
I saw you had great success when your article was promoted by Curie; I hope you can find similar success moving forward. Thanks for reading.
luckily we dont have that problem here
yet
if we did i'd look at growing the sugar yielding forms of sweet sorghum
they can contain cyanide but if fermented to silage its safe for animals
also its ideal for biogas
Its potential yield is lower than sugar cane but it can do so with less fertiliser and less water
Biogas has a lot of potential for reducing energy costs here as its money people dont need to earn to cook their food, plus the bioslurry from biogas units is amazing and balanced fertiliser

its a good way to turn waste food and purspose grown high energy but inedible crops to usable carbon negative energy and fertiliser for food crops
You don't have ants! That's astonishing. I have to ask: why no ants?
We have plenty of Ants its just they dont interfere withe the Sugar cane i guess
We also have a great palm here, a true Giant, Borassus flabelifer, the Lontar palm. It takes 15 years to start production but continues for a very long time. its taproot is very strong and it can be planted on hilltops where little else grows. The seeds are planted directly.
Ive seen many in Cambodia as well
the seed is edible and the palm is tapped for sugar . its a long term crop but easy to establish and gives intergenerational equity
while its been forgotten, in a a future world with bioethanol fuel cells it may yet come back
bro what the hell is this xD
i wish i still move like that at 70
Have you tried Diatomaceous Earth ?
