no no no no no. not composting toilets. too complex. check out the humanure handbook listed above. it’s just basically a bucket witha seat that is required here, and something to cover the turds as they await their final destination in the composting pile, like sawdust, rice hulls, grass clippings. . you compost in huge mounds of rich hot steaming organicness. 115 degrees inside the mound, even in winter when the ambient air temp is half that. I was up late last night watching videos on the mechanics of composting one’s own poo. they sell thermometers to stick into the belly of thebeast.
My kids have always been way into peeing outside, so this should be an easy transition. I’m going to have buckets conveniently located outside the joint, for a quick pee, since i’m going to need that urine to attain proper moisture levels for my compost.
the composting toilets apparently are way too complex and don’t do the job.
i would put the odds at over 50% that I actually buy this magnificent abode, because it is the nicest house on the planet. it has the coolest flooring i’ve ever seen, the funky cool spanishy roof tiles from mexico i think, all customed molded out, probably 100 someodd thousand dollars put intot he place recently, just the coolest place ever with a “superior view” according to the appraiser.
And it has an ideal spot for my humanure composting bin, which really, at this point, is suddenly a big consideration. and here is the reason one can’t rent anymore–the process of composting humanure is fairly long term — three years or so in the bin until it reaches agricultural levels. how can i start a giant pile of humanure in my rental when i don’t know that ill be here three years down the line. can i really leave a 115 degree pile of steaming poo in a wood bin for the next guy who comes here? how will that sound in court if the landlord were to sue me? “no you’re honor, i was not attempting to “vandalize the yard, I was merely composting my own feces, and the dogs, for use around the yard.” I’d have to call expert witnesses, it would just get to be too much.
no, if you’re going to compost your own poo, you need stability.
i think i may be able to rent it out for weddings even, it’s that spiffy. the wedding site is fairly far away from the composting bin.
is there some sort of license you need to do weddings at home?
