Also, we're a farm and many farms have (unregulated) compost heaps. The state required and performed an inspection of our black water septic system, which we use a gray water system, filtering water from shower, sinks, and wash.

It seems to compost very quickly. Vegetable scraps, egg shells, meat scraps, all go into the one and only compost bin but never into the toilet. Strangely, their odor is more difficult to cover and more attractive to flies. So these are stored in a standard kitchen compost bucket.

Actually, we've plumbled for a standard flush toilet. Truth is, if I can't carry buckets (half full is the plan as I get older), then I won't really be able to live the Land life I want. Splitting wood. Caring for the prairie. So, when that day comes, maybe we all can move into a MPLS skyway lifestyle. :) Michael Larsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02602202931717343564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6812912569688368955.post-74104858013711042962013-08-02T17:10:29.263-07:002013-08-02T17:10:29.263-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Michael Larsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02602202931717343564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6812912569688368955.post-24910033601621845102013-08-02T11:25:03.636-07:002013-08-02T11:25:03.636-07:00I've used your toilet and thought it was very ...I've used your toilet and thought it was very cool. It does take courage to try something so radically different from what we're used to. Do you have a back up plan for a time when you may not be able to haul those buckets?<br />KarenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
