Hello everyone and thank you for this forum which promises great discoveries.

Small survey: do you use the principle of dry toilets at home? What do you think ?

Thank you for the info for the construction of dry toilets!
I'm probably going to build or buy some (because I saw an address where to buy them)
Keep us posted if you install one!
I would not fail to do it as soon as they are installed.
See you soon

Like all users of dry toilets, I am satisfied. I use sawdust. The compost obtained is very light.

Only problem: the difficulty of finding a good size stainless steel drum to avoid plastic. (for the moment unresolved problem)

In my opinion, you have to make your own toilet to the desired size, buying only the wooden bezel and its cover. It is really very simple.

On the other hand, it is better to organize yourself from the start for the storage of the compost by providing a silo and an area on which the compost can be brewed to be oxygenated.

What about odors?

Do you empty it every day?

A small photo of your "throne" ...? :D

It's the tank!

But let's put ourselves in a situation ...

The holidays are approaching, it won't be too hard to imagine the scene.

You come home a little enthused.
Foreseeing, before going to bed, you will make your popo so as not to get up during the night (waking up again madam who will not fail to report your comings and goings nocturnal rather curvy).

There, you do not notice that the toilet seat is raised (your wife has already told you 1000 times to lower the seat).
And wham, your fragile little behind comes to kiss the bowl that you have lovingly cut out with a grinder, leaving it with the edge of a razor blade.

In short, the bowl with ends of washing machines, I do not preconnise !!!
