Cold Weather Operation
Using Liquid Fertilizer
Gas production will slow down when the system’s average
surrounding temperature drops below 20 °C (68F). Feeding the
system at average temperatures below 20°C may lower the pH of
the system and cause system failure!
If the system is fed with kitchen waste or a combination of animal
manure and kitchen waste,
stop feeding when the average
temperature drops below 20°C/68°F.
If the system is only fed with animal manure,
stop feeding when
the average temperature drops below 15°C/ 59°F.
If temperatures will drop below freezing, you may drain at least
200 liters of liquid from the system and reactivate it (page 32)
when warmer weather comes.

The fertilizer produced by the HomeBiogas system may be
safely used on your vegetable patch, flower beds or fruit trees
etc. It can also serve as a water and nitrogen additive for a com-
post heap.
For watering small plants or new trees, dilute fertilizer to
5:1 parts water to fertilizer.
