If we left it to fill to capacity we would certainly need to empty it once a month. The bucket is 25 litres, what size us your bucket?

We empty it maybe four times a year and take the compost up on the hill to enrich the forest plants. Maybe since there are only two of us it can handle it all. - MargyPowell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-86847969486733799.post-83157819307658950582014-09-09T19:00:42.292+01:002014-09-09T19:00:42.292+01:00Tigger's Mum - the toilet doesn't actually...Tigger's Mum - the toilet doesn't actually need a starter, but we do put sawdust in to soak up any 'liquid' that finds it's way through.

I saw some seriously large composting toilet arrangements when I lived in Scandinavia - one built into a hillside would take a year's supply bfore needing digging out from the downhill, back door.

Indeed, we have avoided such a device up to this point in our lives and we think that we shall continue to do so. We have never been the happy camper types and have avoided going or staying anywhere without a fully functioning bathroom. Still, it would be great to see you for the day!Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-86847969486733799.post-63570275485109234552014-09-03T15:27:22.302+01:002014-09-03T15:27:22.302+01:00Karen - I can see where your coming from with the ...Karen - I can see where your coming from with the cleaning.
