@@Moha-u6y unfortunately immigration would see the issuer of an invitation letter as taking responsibility for the person coming. That would be too much to ask of a host.
Great video! Not that I have built anything like you did. But I thought it might be a good idea to use a bucket custom cut to fit over float value lever so it could move freely. Put some holes in it and rocks on it so it wouldn't float up. Mount a pipe to it for the string line and float ball. Or spend $500 on a water softener.
Isnt this just a LABS recipe? I've seen videos on here of people making the exact same formula (letting rice water set out, combine with dairy, separate out cheesy stuff, etc), but they all call it LABS, or a Lactic Acid Bacteria Solution. From what I understand, EM is a mix of not just LAB, but also fungi and other helpful types of bacteria.
Great video. My only suggestion: label each part of the construction with text on screen or with voice over. Like "Making the mud bricks", then "Laying the foundation" and so on.. Alternatively just create chapters in RU-vid Studio to provide those reference points. Anyway, nice vid!
I think an angle float valve installed at top of tank, and a pipe run to bottom, would be easier to access, service, adjust, and replace. Just a union on the fill tube will prevent having to cut the pipe during replacement. Also, using old cotton tee shirts with the mesh would protect the layers from mixing better. Just some thoughts. I really liked the video.
Thank you for the vedio. My story with workaway, i tryed to register my hostel more than 3 times but it's failed, i read the manual and instructions but still not working even they will not tall you what is the problem. This time i will register in worldpacker. 🤩Thanks,good luck. شكراً جزيلاً.
I put the molasses in after two days of fermentation with the milk by mistake. My brain just told me I had forgotten the molasses... I realized I was doing a mistake when it was to late. What to do now? Is the fermentation over because I added the sugar? Or will I grow other mikroorganisms? 😢
So I’m curious….. how much would it take to build a filter in the center of the community? Say a drinking well of sorts so anyone could stop by and fill up? Your house was $250 ish? So perhaps $500? I’m interested in facilitating this for the locals
That would be amazing wherever that is. At the community center US$500 would pay for the materials, labor required and one years connection to the town water (which needs to be filtered).
@@The-Collapse-of-Civilization no probs with that as the kids aren't making a tight seal. An issue we have had with air sometimes is if you make the top exit hole too high up the barrel the plumbing will point up a little. If the system drains without constant input water it can cause an airlock in that elbow. Best to make the top outlet holes lower on the barrel to avoid the top curve inwards towards the rim. Hope that makes sense.
@@The-Collapse-of-Civilization water will always find it's level. If the filter is working properly it will filter at a fast drizzle. You won't need high pressure to push.
nice work in our country mostly village side women pasting mud with husks and it's very nice to see you again the same work enjoy and your passion of work is admirable ❤❤ Love from Pakistan
My understanding is the leachate has a short self life and needs to be used right away. Is this true? In your EM1 video you put sugar in with it to make it last longer, can you do the same with the Bokashi leachate? Or are there other ways to preserve it for future use?
Keep out if the sun. You can telling its good from the smell. It will also go dark when it's losing power. I guess it keeos around 3-6 months tops perhaps longer in ideal conditions ( no sunlight exposure)
Mate the ants are killer on mud floors here and with the need to wash out periodically from the rabbits was better to be pragmatic and use cement as the foundation and floor
A cheap and quick DIY way to encourage better fermentation is to tell you users to put a balloon on top of the bottle you can see the fermentation that way and the back pressure helps the fermentation and a balloon is like $0.10 and will improve your process
