I've got a compost loo in my woods!
It's basically a shed on a raised platform, this is a Treebog type of compost loo. The excrement falls to the floor and as it rots down the trees around it absorb the nutrients. In theory at least it should never need emptying, certainly not with the numbers that will use it. All you need to do is make sure that people don't just pee in it (the urine or excess water makes the poo stink) and chuck a couple of handfuls of sawdust down after you go. I've built a screen around the base and stuffed it with straw and leaf litter. The straw/leaves help to wick away the moisture and keep it smelling sweet. I'm going ot transplant some willow to weave a nice screen around it too soon.
Ah yes, there's nothing quite like the sound of the wind in the willows ...I'm going ot transplant some willow to weave a nice screen around it too soon.
Hi John,
Have you looked into composting toilets? I'm thinking aboit one on the allotment. Google for it and you will get a few results
how deep does the tube go? we have loads of willow arround so could do the willow bed but would need something a little sooner..
