I see you live in my area. I'm all about biomass, are they pretty much giving this stuff away or what? And what kind of quantities are available? I could use a few dump truck loads for sure! I'm probably more interested in stuff from tree services than stuff from stables though.

As a matter of fact I do grow a ton of taro! The only trick is it doesn't seem to like full sun which is what I have in the seasonally flooded area. Perhaps some combination of bananas for shade and taro for additional water take up might be a good way to go.
