My typical advice/rant: don't buy some machine at the store, build a sawdust two bucket system, and do your pile outside. Simple, cheap, and can't break. Tys ...

happy thanksgiving all.....thanks tys, col & grace.....to make a long story short ( not that it isn't a fun story :) it took me quite some time to convince my...

Greetings, I have a BioLet Standard for my cabin in New Hampshire. It's in an unheated outhouse. Three people per weekend use average in summer. In winter far...

Well I am sorry that you think my post was a tirade and lecture, it was NOT. Go ahead, spend a lot of money on a manufactured unit but don't kid yourself that...
Hi Mary! I'm guessing you might have read Del Porto's book, "The composting toilet system book." If not pick one up, it's in my opinion the most informational...

Morning all I have the top of the line biolet at my cabin, I bought it used. It couldn't keep up with the previous owners family (family of 4). It works...
1. I too, want to apologize if I seemed like a crazed, living off-the-gird, cheap bastard who preaches about sawdust toilets to anyone who expresses an...
Regarding the "Nature's Head," it certainly looks a lot more cost effective than some of the $3000 dollar models. But $850 is a lot more than free. And you...
