    How practical is it to build you own methane digester for domestic use in a rural area?
    Anyone know when you can get advice on how to do it or has anyone here tried doing it?

    A bit belated but what would you be digesting?

    I researched them before and you could build one any size you like. If building one instead of say composting home/garden waste it could be made using blue barrels, ibc etc. One thing for Ireland would be to insulate it.

    For replacing a septic tank have a look at this uk site: UFL
