Re: Commercial Compost

Waste sawdust.   He has a mill, and cut all the  2x6 floorboards in his house built like a barn.  Few other mills in the area.   Don't know.  Haven't been up there for two years.

Should go visit and see how the fireplace worked out,  He has a length of 8 inch drill casing for a chimney running up through two stories.  This pipe is surrounded by a stone well that forms an air channel around the pipe. At the bottom he has a four sided airtight fireplace.

Your problem with leaf pellet production will be the handling of a large volume that has to be reduced to a small volume.  Otherwise there is nothing majic about the process. Get a local U to build one.

Mulcher drops chopped up leaves into open side of pipe in which a piston connected to a crank moves the leaf bits to end of pipe where they are packed as each extra charge of leaf bits gets added until the mass escapes through a plate drilled full of holes. It works like an old hay bailer.

Build one. Have a thosand of them made in China - retire.
