How to build the walls STEP 1 Dig out a trench where each of the walls will go as decided in community consultation. Lay out a length of pip between where the stoves will go and the bio fuel digester will go. Fill the trench with concrete mixed like it was for the columns. Let the concrete cure for 21 days.
