Question: what will the gribble eat if we use its wood for petol?

Hi kfox. Hopefully the gribble will still eat wood 🙂

Wood is made of something which is the same stuff that things like straw and vegetable left overs are made out of. If we can find out how gribble eats its wood we can copy this in factories to digest farming leftovers which the gribble would never come into contact with so we won’t be competing with it.

Gribble usually lives in the sea along coast lines, either eating drift wood or man made wooden structures like piers so there shouldn’t be any overlap between us and its food.
