anybody have any experience with biodigesters, if so, do you have any experience with using sunflower seed shells in them? sunflower seed shells have chemicals in them that stop plants from growing. that shouldn't affect the bacteria in the digester, but it could affect the usability of the leftover liquid as fertilizer. just wondering.

didn't post enough, i guess i'm asking if the plant effecting chemicals would be broken down by the bacteria, or unaffected.

I never knew sunflower seed shells had this property. Thanks for letting me know this.
As for your question, it is recommended not to compost plants like wormwood and use this a soil amendment because of the allelopathy properties you mentioned.
The thing to do would he to look for some studies that have been done that show how long they stay in the soil and how volatile the compounds are.
For example you might be able to grind the hulls and age them to reduce the chemical compounds that are present before using them as a food source for the biodigester.

I think I've seen this meme on an anti-Juggalo facebook page. Can't remember if it was To Catch A Juggalo Predator or Juggalo Holocaust.
