[Kenzie Davison <kenziemeta@yahoo.com>]

Milton Dixon
of Chicago Illinois collected and organized over 1,000 videos related to 
permaculture.


Topics such as cooking, permaculture, permascience, deep green,
gardening, strawbaling, building green, sustainability, sandgardening,
solar paneling, reciprocal roof construction, the end of cheap oil,
farming with Far Fewer Fossil Fuels, etc., etc., etc. You get the idea
-- a video for every topic!



Thanks Milton --

"In 2004 the UK imported 17.2 million kilos of chocolate-covered waffles and 
wafers and exported 17.6 million kilos; we imported 10.2 million kilos of 
milk and cream by weight, from France and exported 9.9 million. ...Germany 
sent us 1.5 million kilos of potatoes and we sent them, yes, 1.5 million 
kilos of potatoes..Just as we imported 44,000 tonnes of frozen boneless cuts 
of chicken, we exported 51,000 tonnes of fresh boneless chicken." Andrew

This answer will probably be too vague for you, but I'm tossing it out
there anyway -- if you use the one- or two-stage base process, you only
have to worry about NaOH, glycerol, and a bit of stray methanol. The
latter two, as organic compounds, should be easily absorbed by most
plants. Too much NaOH will, of course, toast your plants, but if you add
some phosphoric acid to the wash, as mentioned in
http://journeytoforever.org/biodiesel_bubblewash.html#dispose it will
convert it to phosphates, which are safe but (as we all know) are great
fuel for algae, so you'll probably want to make sure the water level in
your reed bed doesn't reach the surface of the gravel.

If you use a two-stage acid/base process, you don't need to worry about
NaOH at all; the sulphuric acid combines with the NaOH to make sodium
sulphate, which is a common soluble fertiliser.

Hope this helps!
Paul
