[Digestion] Mixing in digesters?

[Warren Weisman]

Harmon, 

I meant a good mixture of different feedstocks,
instead of a single one. Stirring is important, too,
in my experience, but we want to make sure it's
stirring and not agitation. There is no reason you
could not have a digester for your motor home. My
first thoughts are to prevent agitation you could put
a couple of vertical baffles in your digester tank.
