thanks for the reply. i can make a thermophilic compost, thats not problem
but adding 50 gallons of poo to it might be. i would need many compost bins,
that would work i guess. but the people here have the idea of keeping it in
the barrel to breakdown. after the barrel is full they want to keep it in
the sun and what not. if there is straw and what not in there wouldnt that
prevent anorobic compost.
i mentioned the idea of using small buckets, but they would need a whole lot
many people will be using them.
