Checking out the toilet to use


My toilet system will definitely be a compost system with grey water being put into the orchard with a grease trap etc. The thing about the compost toilet is to make room for the unit which in this case is 750 mm (below the floor), which I can only just fit.

When going through planning make sure your waste water consultant knows what a compost toilet is and include design descriptions. My consultant cost me months with the wrong design. They started with a compost with a flush system and septic tank, but eventually I had to write it up myself (months can be costly for other holdups).

The Nature Loo seems to be the easiest and cheapest.

We are going to have to learn to use our waste again by the looks of it, what a waste!
