[GET] The Natural Off-Grid Power Plant: The serendipitous discovery of Jean Pain

[blackbearatwindriver]

"The warm, dry, and rocky Provence region of France is better known for its resorts than for its suitability to gardening. Yet–among that area’s craggy hills–a self-taught organic gardener, forester, and biotechnologist named Jean Pain is working wonders with a new technique of composting. By removing underbrush from his woodlands and pulverizing it in a shredder of his own design, M. Pain fertilizes his incredibly prolific gardens, heats his house with the warmth created during the decomposition of the wood waste, and even runs his car on the biogas produced in a methane digester which also accepts the shredded brush.

A few months ago one of MOTHER EARTH NEWS’ staffers visited Jean and Ida Pain at their home in France, and discussed the techniques which the inventive agronomist has developed to overcome the hardships of the impoverished native soil and become self-sufficient . . . while restoring the ravaged forests of their area to a lushness that the region hasn’t known for centuries. Since Jean’s research is so extensive and varied, we’ve decided to relate just one portion of it in this article..."
