This toilet option is far more environmentally sound than a septic tank and leach field.

The tissue composts – any tissue will work.
9:25 AM on December 29th, 2010
Great video!! I am curious about the toilet tissue. Does it compost as well or are there versions that do?
9:28 AM on December 29th, 2010
It has to be a carbon based material.
9:59 AM on December 29th, 2010
just started using mine in my yurt about a week ago and so far it has met the expectations i had from reading others feedback. works great and doesn’t smell!

What about using dirt or sand instead of sawdust?
11:49 AM on December 29th, 2010
It seems to be very well made, neat and tidy… compared to most I’ve seen.
12:42 PM on December 29th, 2010
@TheBgcheez If you use enough cover material (sawdust, leaf mold, etc.) you have no odor, but that of earthy carbon. Too much nitrogen smell means you need to add more carbon.

No venting is needed.
2:00 PM on December 29th, 2010
Would be nice if you had a vent hole and piping configuration to possibly utilize a person’s current bathroom fan hole or window. The vent hole could be in the back with a collar that a purchaser would then attach a PVC pipe to.

The compostable parts of feminine hygiene products will compost. Any plastic parts will not compost and you will have to pick these out of the finished compost.
2:42 PM on December 29th, 2010
Can you compost tampons? or do you need to keep that separate?
3:11 PM on December 29th, 2010
We have such a toilet(home-made) in our bathhouse, but with a separation for the urine that goes into a plastic container. Makes the bucket really light for carrying outside. It works pretty well, but I wouldn’t say it’s odour free even if we use sawdust, so I would put it outside, in an outhouse or a utility building rather than in a small home, unless you can isolate the toilet space really well. I however find a urine toilet works inside, it doesn’t smell, and I live in a one-room cabin.

so its just a bucket you shit in
4:19 PM on December 29th, 2010
this could be well advertised for say fishing ships too! heck, bring one toilet, and a barrel of dirt, and crew’s safe for the trip. no need for power pumping water, no need for plumbers out in the middle of the sea!
4:58 PM on December 29th, 2010
@jcjenkins01
thanks for the quick reply!
5:01 PM on December 29th, 2010
It can be all urine (see comments below).
5:38 PM on December 29th, 2010
boy, i sure do love it!
in a house, it’d be a first choice! this is the future, with less and less water available!
only i think society has to develop a type of culture to do this, but than again, it wouldn’t be a first time – remember how in 19th cent. hygiene was tought to people.
i’d like to ask though: is (only) urinating also ok (besides urin and feces), or is (only) urinating better done someplace else?
thank you, and great job!

Ash doesn’t compost.
8:19 PM on December 29th, 2010
Read the instruction manual at humanure handbook dot com.
8:58 PM on December 29th, 2010
How is this not going to produce any sort of odor? What about people who have diarhea? Some people eat a lot of meat and that is really strong for an odor. Nah there would not be any “curtain hiding” going on here. LOL! How does this even work outside when snow and ice are on the ground? Wouldn’t the cold temps kill worms and other compost aid insects?
9:08 PM on December 29th, 2010
could you use ash?

Thank you for your articles relating to Solar Energy. As I see it, if you can afford the initial investment it makes a lot of financial sense to use solar energy to heat your hot water. As for photovoltaic – the cost is still too high for most folk, although the spiralling cost of energy is improving the ROI. Thanks again.
