Humanure

I have lived with composting toilets both in my home and non-profit organizations.  There are a couple of things that prospective buyers/users should know:  

First, depending on your family size and usage, certain models need extra compost added if you put a lot of liquid in the unit.  Read:  beer parties can be a problem with excess liquid.  

Second, as time goes on, some models may harbor little flying moths, or beasties, as they were called by my children, and in addition to being unsanitary as they fly about the house landing on your body or on food, etc., your children (and grandparents) will take up writing poems or songs about the adventure, in addition to being grossed out.

Third, in hot, humid weather we did detect the odor outside.  Composting toilets are a great alternative, but they are NOT for everyone.  You might want to consider adding a standard low-flush model in addition to a composting unit.  Do your research and make sure the model you choose is not prone to these problems.On Umbra on composting toilets, again posted 4 years ago 7 Responses
