Thanks for this info. I've been holding off on a sawdust toilet
because I couldn't find a nearby source of free or low-cost sawdust.
We have a large manufactured-wood industry in the local area, and the
sawmills sell their sawdust and wood chips by the truckload. But I do
have a large section of hardwoods, and had wondered whether leaf mold
might work as well as sawdust.
