Bugs might be small but they have vary sharp teeth and you do not have to 
sharpen them. At least that is what I have found.

I use native bugs to break down my  switchgrass. Next it goes into the cement 
mixer (paddles removed) with some rocks. In short time I can see 
agglomerations starting to form. Here I remove the rocks and continue to 
rotate the mixer. In short order I have some nice fireballs.

Someday I hope to combine the composting of the switchgrass with algae 
production.


Balls to the wall,


Jeff
