so you just dump this on your garden or does it have to be treated im an ignorant city boy
Hi there - thanks for the info. I have a huge supply of free wood chips from a tree pruner (abourist?) They mulch up the trees with a truck mounted chipper. Would this wood chip work instead of sawdust?
Wood chips are not recommended (too thick).
The composting toilet is always an option to people who couldn’t easily implement the startegies I could devise. Sometimes people don’t have a septic system and the loveable loo is very economical/practical in those cases. Given that I have the septic system, water and gravity in my favor, I would simply prefer to keep the handling of waste, while it’s still inside the house, conventional. I am sure my wife and mother in law prefer that too. Keep up the good work. I enjoy your videos.
Just wonder, how would recycling the sludge from the septic tank work for composting instead of paying to have it hauled away. Seem to me that for someone not morally or econimically bothered with the water usage could relcaim the feces with much less expense and hassle not to mention gross factor with the loveable loo. Where do you pee, also in the same toilet?
I think that sludge from a septic tank would have a huge gross factor compared to the benign Loveable Loo. Yes, you pee in the same toilet receptacle. The object is thermophilic composting. Read the book – it’s free.
Thanks for your response. I pulled off the lid to the septic tank and think I could strategize a somewhat reasonable method to handle cleaning the septic and harvesting the sludge.This only needs to be done every several years vs. handling those 5 gallon buckets and all the sawdust issues. However, if I were to actually do it, I would put a smaller solids strainer basket ahead of the septic and handle it this way. I would burn the scum layer from the septic in an outdoor fire pit.
You need to read the book “humanure Handbook” This is one of the greatest contributions to the clean up of our earth. Brilliant, researched,scientific, funny. Thank you, Thank you Joe for your great contribution. BTW, some of the comments show that you did not in fact read this book. A must read for our current society, if we want to leave a liveable planet behind for our children
after you fill the bucket you have to wait enaught to put it on soil for the plants or it will be too strong and may kill them.
They are not sticking the crap/sawdust on the soil, they are putting it into the compost for the bugs and microbes to process.
