Subject: [permaculture] Composting toilet for Community Garden
Date: Tue, 22 Feb 2011 10:32:03 -0500
HI All,
Our community garden in Norway Maine is looking for a "best practice"
solution to compost human waste on site. (Not for use in the garden)
Since the garden is in a neighborhood, we need to avoid any odor
issues. I'm a long-time sawdust/bucket/bin humanure composter, but for
a public site like this we need something that requires no handling of
"live" waste and will be a good demonstration/model for the community.
During the season we might have a dozen or more people using the
toilet on a given day. Winter use would be very limited, but it would
be great to have a system that works in the cold as well. The site is
off-grid so high electric use is not an option.
Any thoughts, links, or references to working systems would be much
appreciated.
Enjoy the strengthening sun!
