1. A method for digesting biological wastes comprising:
- introducing said wastes into a first water filled lagoon;
adding a blend of microbes to said first water filled lagoon, said blend comprising at least one of the following;
Bacillus, Saccharomyces, and Thiobacillus;
aerating said first water filled lagoon with a plurality of aerators dispersed on the bottom of said first water filled lagoon, said aerators adapted to produce a laminar column of bubbles, said aerators being supplied by a first compressed air supply;
circulating said first water filled lagoon with at least one circulator adapted to cause said first water filled lagoon to circulate;
sending a portion of said water filled lagoon to a second water filled lagoon;
aerating said second water filled lagoon with a plurality of aerators dispersed on the bottom of said second water filled lagoon, said aerators being supplied by a second compressed air supply; and
circulating said second water filled lagoon with at least one circulator adapted to cause said first water filled lagoon to circulate.

Abstract
Disclosed is a system and method of digesting raw animal waste using diffusers to force circulation and aerate a digesting lagoon. Several lagoons may be used in series to treat raw waste and different variations may be employed to successively digest raw waste. Aeration with slightly ozonated air facilitates a blend of aerobic and anaerobic microbes to quickly and completely digest large amounts of raw animal waste.
