I am starting to build a compost toilet, and need some advice. I am building a twin chambered vaulted toilet that is an external build. As a result the toilet...
Hi, Alex. Off the cuff, that sounds like a good size in a warm climate. With two people using it, it should take a few years to fill. I built one of that size...
I'm also VERY interested in learning about ecological small scale (home) wastewater treatment options as well as home-built composting toilets that could be...
I'm enjoying it greatly. We had 23F the other morning, so it's a bit early for the camping season, but I'm spending this weekend in it, and the NH is getting a...
thanks steve.....i'm very pleased to hear that you're happy with this toilet.....i'm wondering if anyone has used sawdust in one of these toilets rather than...
Are there any experiences with using the South African Ecosan composting toilets? (It's extremely hard to find this on the internet, since the word "ecosan"...
Hello Steve, I have a simple Joe Jenkins' inspired toilet and I use kiln dried sawdust, I can have it in large quantities. In what way does green sawdust work...
It's rougher, doesn't pack as much, smells better, and composts better. I find it's more absorbent. I have a green sawmill down the road and use quite a bit...
Here you find a film http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPummZRR2Cg and a friend of mine commented "About 2 years ago the Jo Jo system cost approximately R5000 ex...
Green sawdust uses up available nitrogen as it breaks down. This nitrogen is supplied by urine. If you have a urine diverting composting privy where the urine...
... Some cities ecourage shredded paper in the yard waste/compost bin. Some color inks are (or at least used to be) based on metals you might not want to eat,...
I haven't seen any numbers either but, in many cases, the soil the finished compost feeds is depleted of trace minerals. I consider it to be a soil amendment,...
We had a great time at the North Country Energy Fair. We had about 20 people attend our "DIY Solar class", 10 at our "Make your own biodiesel" class, and about...

Hello, I'm just getting started with our humanure system. But I do have a few questions. I live in NW Arkansas and I'm curious to know if there are any...
I'm not in that area, but the outdoor piece of our humanure system is 4 stacked tires with a plywood cap and a big rock. Steve Spence Renewable energy and self...
Nice of you to respond. Now one other quick question. In the center of your first tire did you dig down a foot or so, so that the humanure wouldn't touch...
No, I did not dig down. The amount that does touch the soil attracts worms and other critters that help with the breakdown process. It does help to cut out the...
