    Tips

    The mill that should control the clay geysers is a Dutch meadow water mill. Rotation of the mill causes air to enter a pressure vessel. With sufficient wind, one of the 7 fountains should spray every 10 minutes. The fountains are in the clay geysers, which
    are made of lime, cement, sand and straw. They are in a barren hay meadow on rather dry soil in the summer. The intention was that moisture-loving plants would grow around the geysers.
    The technology does not work well, so a solar-powered pump may be used for this project. (source: IVN)
