Miscanthus in Alsace, pellets and solar!

[Ahmed]

Sorry to contradict you Christine, but what you write is true for miscanthus in general, but not for M. gigantéus, since it is a hybrid:
Wikipedia: Miscanthus giganteus the giant miscanthus a sterile interspecific hybrid between Miscanthus sinensis (Chinese reed) and Miscanthus sacchariflorus.
Not too much fear regarding root expansion: it doesn't behave like bamboo.

Christophe, last night on France 3, April 1, in the magazine "Repères" just after the edition of the regions, at 19 pm there was a report on the cultivation of miscanthus in Indre et Loire, I believe, for raw use or in pellets for heating.
Unfortunately, no way to review this magazine on the France 3 site; I sent an email to find out more, I will keep you posted.

In the meantime, I found this:

Cool will have to put it in EconoTV

Thanks to Loxo's tutorial: https://www.econologie.com/sauver-une-vi ... -3758.html

Here I had the response from France3 and I was able to find the video.
You have to look at 12, this is the start of Repères magazine.
So interesting report on Miscanthus and Swiss grass (?) But also on the tidal turbine, the "Searev", green lamps and a fuel saver the RHP.

I will try to save her but I promise nothing.

Ah great, did you read the tutorial from loxo?

Yes, but I have problems with Net Transport.
Have you seen the video?
How do you find ?

- as regards wheat straw transformed into pellets, I fear, in the long term, as an agronomist, a deficit in the humic balance of the plots or the exploitation, with as possible consequences: fall of the fertility ( compensated by increasing doses of fertilizer?), decrease in the biological activity of the soils and erosion (if slopes, even weak).

Indeed, a friend, not an organic farmer, grinds the straw with his harvester and leaves it there (buried by plowing) ... given the number of crows that eat worms on his fields, it's rather positive ...

Yes, but I have problems with Net Transport.
