The only diseases would be the ones you already have. Start with a 5 gallon pail and sawdust or wood shavings, or even leaf litter as cover. Steve Spence ...
Typically, as long as you have a septic system, the powers that be are satisfied. What you do with your sawdust toilet is your business. Just don't shout it...
Steve, Thanks for the info. Wanted to know if there are any CO folks on this list that I could befriend? ... I thought that would be a hilarious theme for a...
I would like to see how satisfied members on here are with their CTs. Especially interested in long term satisfaction. I want to buy 2 and don't want to make...
I am happy as anything with mine, but I use the sawdust system. My composting occurs in the pile away from the bathroom. I don't mind carrying the buckets and...
I'm very happy with our Nature's Head. A convenient improvement over the sawdust toilet we also use, and at $900 or so, much less expensive than sun mar and...
Greetings, I've had a Biolet for a few years and am very satisfied with it. I haven't had the "compost" from the toilet tested for e coli or anything. I just...
Re: Compost Toilet (Dis)Satisfaction- I had a Sunmar central 2000 toilet for about 3 years. A terrible experience- a very badly designed system. I finally had...

I have heard this before from folks who found the trouble with composting toilets too much to deal with. Maybe sometimes the simplest solution is the best! ......
satisfaction? We have tried two composting toilets. first a sunmar. with an electric fan/heat system. In general I like the system with the barrel of compost...
The toilet I know best is the one I grew up with, and which I took over maintaining about 15 years ago. It is a home-built twin vault system located in the...
If they are healthy, there's no issue. Fecophobes will try to convince you it's dangerous stuff. It's been used in agriculture by the chinese for thousands of...
Where I live a flush toilet is not an option. I put off dealing with the subject for a long time until one day I just got the saw out and attacked the extra...
Hi, My partner and I have just bought a canal houseboat and are very excited to be moving aboard this coming weekend. We are hoping to rig up a short-term...
Hi, Sounds like you have a decent plan already. My only question would be about the 30-ltr. barrels. That doesn't seem like they would hold more than a week or...
... Since storage volume is an issue, it may be worth some effort to make initial composting and thus space reduction as quick as possible. If your barrels...
I can't see the need for stirring. The bulking material should provide all the air required in the mix. This is basically a bucket system but you will only be...
we used a bucket system for several years.i have four full buckets in the master bath that have been there for about a year with no adverse affects. if you...
