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...
We seem to be having an occasional no go on the turning motor on our biolet toilet. has anyone else with a biolet experienced this? I am assuming that if it...
Hi Kat My Guess would be a loose spade connector on the switch on the front or on the motor. After disconnecting the power open it up (see an earlier Biolet...
Harvesting Rain Water for Irrigation, Washing/Flushing, or Cooking/Drinking We collect rain water, and pump it into our house with a solar powered 12v dc pump....
Steve, What kind of solar water pump do you have, and what are its capabilities? And, to keep this on topic, I thought I'd give an update on my house building....
We are building an off grid cobb and light clay home; all water will be rainwater. We want to use a low flush toilet emptying into a remote composter. Because...
Bluedog, I've done exactly what you are proposing and it worked fine. The toilet was on the second floor so the "fall" was pretty good to ground level. The...
Thank you so much for the info! Really helps to have some feedback judy & jose ________________________________ From: Jade and Luthien <aeonarc@...> To:...
Thought I'd join as this group turned up as a link on my Yurt group. The info here looks like it has applications to other groups I'm on. Look forward to being...
Welcome! You will find a lot of good info here, some folks on this list have been doing this for a while and can give some real nuts and bolts advice....
Wondered if you or anyone had seen any do it yourself plans for providing your own wind power to make electric. I peeked at the link below and it looks to have...
I will say that once I found the link to this group I became convinced that all subjects are on the internet somewhere.Recently, I've come to wish there was a...
we too use the Berkey water filter . our water here in west texas is so poluted with chemicals from the Alon/Fina refinery. on top of all our surrounding oil...

Is that the same one that stands 30 ft. in the air.If so I don't have that kind of headroom overhead.The regions transmission lines have easement across the...
30' taller than any obstruction within 300' This is true for any horizontal axis wind turbine. otherwise, don't bother. Steve Spence Renewable energy and self...
For wind power I was told that 40' - 45' is best. I don't think under 30' would be a good idea. I know in Santa Fe NM they can't have a wind turbine because...
Is there a certain brand/kind of tp that does better in composting toilets? with our biolet the kind we use now seems very reluctant to break down and we end...
40-45 is not always best. it's only sometimes best, depending on surroundings. it may be best in the middle of a field with no trees or structures. Ours is...
I suggest you get a Air X and 45' tilt up tower kit from http://www.newenglandsolar.com I think you will be happy with it in your application. It has a built...
camping outfits claim their's breakdown quickly. Have you though about introducing worms (red wigglers) into your unit? they will break everything down. Steve...
