USING THIS TOILET
1) Make your deposit, along with toilet paper.
2) Cover completely with sawdust. No odors.
3) Close the toilet lid. Keep it clean.
Using tested methods, humanure composting is underway at Las Casas de la Selva with impressive results. 3t has been very successfully composting humanure for over a decade. The process is exactly the same as an ordinary compost and along with depositing the humanure, (feces & urine), the compost pile is augmented with garden prunings, grass cuttings, leaves, etc. This pile is left to sit for at least a year and two months before use. The quality of this humus is phenomenal fertilizer for plant growing.
Shavings from the planer, all hardwoods from our forest, no treated wood. Smells great too.
Regular toilets usually flush humanure away into septic tanks using clean water, but it could instead be converted, through composting, into lush vegetative growth. Humanure is a valuable resource and saves a ton of water. These humanure toilets were built at Las Casas de la Selva, by Andres and 3t in February 2013, and we have been collecting all our volunteers valuable deposits ever since.
Deep colored, rich compost ready for using in the gardens. You can’t buy this anywhere!
Thinking about waste management intelligently!
