    I think I will go with a bio-digester, it's smaller and better for the environment. I also won't have to pay to get it emptied every year.

    You can use the tissue paper in a biodigester madam. It's biodegradable

    Thanks for ur explanation and teaching, I’ve been out of Ghana for 31yrs and my wife is from Russia Moscow. We live in US with our 4children and never visited Ghana bf, they r always denied coming to Africa but now for some reason they r all pushing to come to Ghana and they now even know more about Nana Addo and his government. I promised them next year summer so I can complete our own house. I’ve got a land in East Legon hill gated community, but my contractor was suggesting to do Bio, but after watching ur video I will go by the old way. How can I tell my family not to leave their waist tissues in the toilet bowl to flash.. thank u so much for saving me. For a very long time of 31yrs I never leave waist tissues outside. 🙏🏼

    Make sure since you add the two rows of blocks, you have wholes to drain out the excess rainwater, or it will create problems not to settle in there! But it looks good love it! That is what I will be using for my house! Keep up the excellent work!
    I am looking forward to seeing the finishing! Thanks for sharing! Shalom

    Great job but in my own opinion, i prefer the septic tank being same level with the floor, it's not necessary to make it come up, it make the compound look leveled and nice, bide the way, it only takes many years to empty the septic tank, so the advantages of burying the septic tank inside is greater than the convenience disadvantage of making it easy to be emptied

    I like septic tanks over bidigesters. Septictanks are tried, tested and true. Biodigester is new and and yet to prove itself. You have created a swimming pool by raising the manhole, worse off, an eye sore. Better to have it the same level with the grading.

    I don't understand how the top sticking out makes it hard to use. I intend to even bury mine. I added more enforcement to make it usable space. Just making the open hole stick out is enough for inspection. The actual manhole doesn't need to show.

    • @kennethnyavor3468
      @kennethnyavor3468 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I disagree with you because when the manhole has the same level of that of the house and there's rainfall you can imagine what will happen to your manhole

      @aberba 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@kennethnyavor3468 you seem to have misread what I wrote. The opening is not to be buried. Many real estate builds go with that approach. Only the opening shows up with a raised wall... making the rest of the space usable. Read the part about the "open hole" sticking out.

  • @kehindeemiabata4032
    @kehindeemiabata4032 2 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    sorry but you are miss informed. you can use tissue with a biodigester. Ive had a biodigester and i use tissue. it is a fantastic system whereby the fiber breaks down the feaces and dirty water is turned into clean water where you can use it to water your plants or direct it straight to the gutter. There is no smell either and you dont need to pay for emptying the biodigester as you do the septic tank. The BD is cheaper and cleaner. I think you need to do more research on this subject madam because your spreading false info. This system is becoming very popular because of the reasons i stated above. If you couldnt use tissue with this system, it wouldnt be as popular as it is.
